has a big demographic divide
with people of multiple income levels,
multiple literacy levels, multiple languages.
What technology can do is to create a common layer
and can actually improve the quality of life of people.
I think the greatest tool we have today in front of us is the smartphone.

the vast majority of these people,
even though they're good at their craft,

and be a real part of India's middle class.

language for content consumption.
If you look at the readership of newspapers,
if you look at the readership of Bollywood movies,
I mean, they are all in local languages.

a core reason why people will use our app.

I think my suggestion to everybody
who is thinking about doing something of their own
is don't be scared.

and go into the real Bharat in India
if you really want to build an app
which has to be successful in India.
