Indians spend more than three hours on social media and about 46 minutes on online gaming per day, a new report said.
According to the technology policy think tank Esya Centre, daily engagement in terms of time spent is the highest for social media at 194 minutes a day, while this number for OTT (over-the-top) and online gaming stands at 44 minutes and 46 minutes, respectively.
We believe that the findings of the report are very relevant, especially at a time when the Government is in the process of formulating user-centric policies for the digital industries,” said Amjad Ali Khan, Director at the Esya Centre.
A median user spends less than Rs 100 a month and less than an hour a day on online gaming. The corresponding number is Rs 200-400 for OTT.
The report surveyed 2,000 respondents and was further supported by in-app data from over 20.6 lakh users, spanning across 143 mobile applications.
