Post-budget 2018 Reaction Mr. Gautam Sinha, CEO of Times Internet

The Union Budget for 2018 saw some key announcements for the digital industry in India. The announcements included the allocation of Rs 3,073 crore to the Digital India scheme and the allocation of Rs 10,000 crore for the telecom sector will help in the development of rural Wi-Fi, providing easy internet access by setting up 5 lakh Wi-Fi hotspots. The government’s move will definitely help the industry in tapping unmapped areas of the country and would allow consumers to access the digital landscape and benefit from its offerings.
