India is at the cusp of a digital revolution powered by increasing broadband and internet penetration, exponential data uptake, the Government’s focus on digitalisation and increasing trend of technology adoption across industries. This revolution is likely to generate new growth avenues, boost industrial productivity and has the potential to transform the socio-economic fabric of the country.

This report presents a view on:

  • India’s current telecom ecosystem and preparedness to embrace 5G;
  • Impact of 5G on various telecom industry stakeholders as well as potential and relevance of 5G across industry verticals;
