India has seen a tremendous growth in Web 2.0 technologies. However,
India is a unique market in that there are interesting technological
challenges and opportunities revolving around the large and growing
online population, the rapid adoption of social networking, the
existing and widening proliferation of mobile devices, an ever growing
young and technically-talented population and an unparalleled
diversity of languages and cultural backgrounds. Together these
factors have created an unseen buzz and flurry of funding into Web 2.0
initiatives. However, this is only the beginning of India's emergence
on the Web. Avashya.com hopes to track this by providing a central
destination for news, insights and analysis about India's
contributions to Web 2.0 and beyond.
