Commenting on the CSI report, Pradeep Gupta, Chairman & MD, Axis My India, said, “The growing dependency on the internet has impacted all spheres of the consumer’s life. From chatting to networking, expressing, and now watching, the internet has evolved to fulfill all consumer needs and will continue to do so in the future with the advent of 5G. While the dependency on online apps for grocery purchases are on a nascent stage, we are more than confident that like any other daily task, this too shall completely be an online behaviour in the next few years. From adapting newer modes of media consumption like watching World-cup on phone to having varied other forms of empowered user experience on the internet, 5G will only continue to shape consumer consumption behaviour.”
