High Internet penetration has led to the creation of an extensive customer base for companies operating in the e-learning market. As the traditional education system in India is insufficient in providing services to all the segments of the education and skill development market, learners are looking for alternative education sources, leading to the growth of the online education market in India. The country offers significant opportunities for players offering products or services based on digital platforms. For example, Bangalore-based BYJU’S, an Ed-tech company, launched its mobile app in 2015. This app has been downloaded by more than 6 million users across India. Hence, with the combined incremental penetration of the Internet and smartphones in the Indian economy, the user base for e-learning is expected to increase, thereby driving market growth.

Online Education Market In India: Government Initiatives toward Digitization in Education

Digital initiatives taken by the government of India is one of the factors fueling the growth of online education.
