Saakar S Yadav believesthere are two types ofknowledgethe firstwhere one focuses on knowing the name of somethingand the second, on knowingsomething. But most of usfocus on the first.

Google has stepped up its local language focus
as new internet users in India access it for
vernacular language content. In an interview
with Surabhi Agarwal and Raghu Krishnan
Google India MD Rajan Anandan says that
companies like Flipkart have shown they can
beat global firms, adding that there should be
more local capital to fund Indian companies.
Edited Excerpts:
Revenue in India is still low for internet
companies despite large user base.
Monetisation is tied to GDP per capita. If it is
below $2,000 per capita income, there is no
money, you are basically trying to survive.
Between $2,000-4,000, you have disposable
income that you are going to spend on a better
home, children's education, healthcare, buying
a scooter,etc. After $4,000 it is entirely
disposable income. Australia has only 22
million people, their ad market is $15 billion,
50% bigger than India.
Wehave1.3 billion people, why? If people don't
have money, they are not going to buy
anything; if they are not going to buy,
(companies) are not going to advertise. Our
total ad market is $10 billion this year, of which
digital last year was $1.8 billion. Penetration of
digital is also small, because in a country of 1.3
billion only 400 million are online.
