These days, a mobile network is nothing short of a lifeline, and people are finding new ways to make their lives better on the strength of their network. Mobile internet will likely reach 700 million to 900 million Indians by 2025 and is helping Indians empower themselves in a variety of different ways.

Imagine the life of Rohan, an auto rickshaw driver’s son studying in a school in Delhi. School work in the city school is difficult for Rohan, who has never handled so many assignments before, and the competition at school is tough and relentless. But that only spurs the boy to work harder. The internet has become a critical resource for children to research and get the extra help they need to stay ahead and Rohan uses an Airtel data plan to watch videos, read research papers, and access learning apps. The speed and efficiency of the network has helped him and his family in a way that he had not envisioned once he chose the network.

There are many stories like this where a strong network is enabling people to follow their dreams.

Airtel recently was also in the news for being announced as the fastest network in the country. A recent study by Ookla, the global leader in speed tests, has revealed Airtel to be the fastest mobile network in India for the third time in a row. The findings are based on Ookla's rigorous analysis of millions of consumer-initiated tests taken with the Speedtest app.

Inexpensive and increasingly capable mobile networks are enabling services to reach individuals anywhere. In a country where smartphones are the new enablers, mobile networks are fuelling disproportionate development.
