When it comes to Internet readiness, Karnataka ranks second, and it is also one of the top three states with the highest number of digital startups, according to a report, ‘Index of Internet Readiness of Indian States’, released by Internet and Mobile Association of India (IAMAI) and Nielsen.
Delhi has emerged as the top ranked state in terms of overall Internet readiness, overtaking last year’s winner Maharashtra.
Internet readiness index is a composite benchmark of four components — e-infrastructure index, e-participation index, IT-environment and government e-services index, with all four components claiming equal weightage.
The index excludes North-Eastern states, which ranked low in terms of overall Internet readiness. Among the North-Eastern states, Nagaland tops the list, closely followed by Manipur and Tripura.
