How many Indians on Orkut

By A Bisht

In an article published on the Hindi version of this blog; the number of users on Orkut till December 2008 was 12.8 million or 1 crore 28 Lakh.

On the basis of this count, at present the number of Indians at Orkut will be 0.2176 million or 21 Lakh 76 thousand.

According to an IGF Dec 2008 estimate, the total number of internet users in India is 81 million or 8.1 crore. Going by that count the total number of Indians on Orkut at present will be 27 for every 1000 internet users.

But it’ll be more apt to compare the Indian Orkut presence from the number of active internet users in India rather than the total internet users. The reason being it is not the simple user but an active Internet user who frequents the social Networking sites.

Thus, if 70 percent of the total Internet users in India are active; then the number of active users in India will be 56.7 million or 5 crore 67 Lakh.

Thus, for every 1000 active Internet users in India 38 are on Orkut. --------
