In this regard, I believe there are three key takeaways from “Internet Trends 2015”: Businesses should be focusing on mobile first, capitalizing on the Indian market, and on fulfilling desires for on-demand services. Mary Meeker’s “Internet Trends 2015” demonstrated the fast pace at which change is occurring. Mobile First. The Indian Market. Additionally, 41% of India’s E-Commerce is on mobile.
