The report highlights the evolution of India's mobile phone market with a particular focus on the last seven years in which favorable legislation, a rapid decline in tariffs and the commoditization of its mobile phone voice service put cell phones in the hands of more than 100 million residents and left carriers looking for new revenue streams. The stage is set for mobile phone companies to create new growth through the delivery of music and entertainment-related mobile, location-based services, and mobile Internet content to increasingly tech-savvy subscribers.

Educated in the leading engineering and management institutes in the U.S. and India and armed with decades of diverse industry experience from Global 1000 and emerging companies, Boston Analytics' team of researchers and analysts have analyzed both structured and unstructured data to illustrate the abundance of opportunities available to content creators, providers, aggregators, technology enablers and operators. The firm has also identified the barriers those groups will have to overcome to realize substantial profits.

"India's booming economy and rapid growth have been well-documented, and although a lot of attention has been paid to its effect on other nations, it is equally important to recognize the opportunities within the country created by the increase in consumers suddenly loaded with disposable income," said Rashid Bilimoria, CEO and Co-Founder, Boston Analytics. "This report shows how India is catching up with the rest of the world in that it too is demanding creative applications for ever more advanced mobile devices."

With offices in the U.S. and India, Boston Analytics specializes in providing rigorous research and analysis, financial modeling and industry/sector/company reports of equal caliber to leading investment firms at a reduced cost.
