India Online Study 2009 - A snapshot by JuxtConsult -
Presentation Transcript
1. India Online 2009 Understanding Online Indians and their Net Usage
Behavior and Preferences
2. Study Overview • Most recent estimates of Internet user-ship in urban
and rural India. Estimates based on a land survey conducted between Dec
2008–Jan 2009 among 135,000 individuals from 16,000 households in 40 cities
and over 12,000 households in 480 villages spread across all the 4 regions
of the country • Insightful understanding of net usage behavior and
preferences of regular online Indians. Findings on ‘net usage dynamics’
based on a sample of over 50,000 ‘active’ online panel members with
JuxtConsult, and findings on ‘popular online activities and website
preferences’ based on an online survey among more than 12,500 of these
‘active’ panel members in Feb-Mar 2009 • Understanding of online Indians as
‘consumers’ and not just as faceless net users. Includes their
socio-economic status, online shopping behavior, and website and media
preferences reported on the ‘most used’ basis • Website preferences captured
for over 32 online verticals/domains
3. Methodology A land survey was conducted to profile and estimate the
users of internet. The survey covered ‘towns’ and ‘villages’ of all
population strata, and ‘households’ of all socio-economic classes (SEC)
within each of these towns and villages Net usage dynamics, behavior and
website preferences were captured from the ‘actual’ internet users form
JuxtConsult’s own Internet User Panel (
www.getcounted.net) Demographic
‘weights’ derived from the land survey were then used to make the online
panel and survey data representative of the entire online urban population
(and not just of the online panel members) Representation ‘weights’ were
derived based on 6 demographic parameters - town class, SEC, region, gender,
age and preferred language of reading Only authentic Govt. of India data
(NSSO/Census/RGI) were used for estimation of user-ship and derivation of
representation ‘weights’
