Rural India has seen significant growth in connectivity and access to services like cellular networks, satellite TV, internet kiosks, radio, and community radio channels, allowing more effective communication. The rural population also has substantial purchasing power, estimated at over 1 trillion rupees annually. Many companies have launched products, campaigns, and initiatives targeted at rural consumers, focusing on affordability and local needs. These include low-cost smartphones, TVs, appliances, and financial products. Experts say that future growth lies in properly recognizing rural populations as valuable customer markets.
