“ In today’s world, you cannot help but be on the digital medium. You are pretty much behind everyone else, if you aren’t. It has helped us talk to so many people, actually make our entire business revenues online and basically feel like we can reach everyone at the same time,” asserts Maviya Khan, Co-Founder of UpsideDown, a fashion label.
Small and medium businesses are a key part of the surge in online engagement. Ritesh Mehta, Head of Economic Growth Initiatives for Facebook India says, “SMEs are the growth engine of the Indian economy and Facebook is the bridge to the new mobile economy for SMEs. Women entrepreneurs in particular have a huge role to play in advancing this growth."
