The share was 1.3% of total. Our most recent analysis shows we have grown to 1.7% of edits. That is a 31% increase in share.  It is even more impressive to note that this implies that total edits from India increased by 42.5% in a time period when edits worldwide increased 9%.</div>

Even under that assumption, the increase would be from 1.3% to 1.7%, an increase of 0.4% considering variables like Wikiconference, IEP, India offices and political situation that brought a limelight on the projects. That doesn&#39;t sound that inspiring, I hope we can do better, I know we can.</div>
