Industry Structure & Developments: Internet is similar in many ways to mass communication media like print,television and radio. Internet however, offers significant advantages over other mediums like speed, interactivity, longer shelf life and ease of access resulting in its proliferation worldwide. Worldwide the internet companies typically earn revenue by charging a fee for providing / exchanging information or for advertising / selling products and services.Info edge businesses are very similar to such businesses worldwide in terms of operations and revenue model.
Internet and computer penetration:India is experiencing a strong growth in internet and PC penetration.The frequent high quality internet users in India are expected to increase from 2.8 million in FY 2007 to 4.3 million by FY 2008 as per estimates of the Internet and Mobile Association of India.The Government has also adopted a number of policies that are promoting internet penetration in India.All these are expected to boost the companys profits and turnover tremendously in the coming years.
