Call for round the year submissions for Fragments in 2019

As Internet is reaching into deeper pockets of India, there has been surge in the number of users with internet access. In Jan 2018, the number of internet users stood at about 462 million which is expected to reach 650 million by 2020. A chunk of this increase will be driven by people coming online in non-metros. Google approximates that by 2020, 50% of the online shopping will be from non-metros. The next wave of growth will also come from this cohort, also known as the next 100 million users.
