“The churn rate in India is 53.2 percent in
2009, and despite a maturing market, the
ratio is expected to increase to 59.6 percent
in 2013.” – Gartner
 Of the 638 million subscribers as per TRAI’s
latest figures, only 385 million mobile
connections are being ‘actively’ used in the
country. Thus 40% of all mobile connections
are not getting captured as ‘actively’ in use.

 India has seen fastest growth trajectory in

the past 4 yrs with a CAGR of 54%

Source TRAI
 Almost 2/3rd of mobile using households are still
‘single mobile user’ households. There is still a
large ‘play area’ available to increase the user
base and ‘penetration’ of mobile phones than to
play mainly the game of ‘multiple connections’
and increasing mainly the ‘tele-density’.
