India, and particularly Indian tech, is blowing up.

But it's easy to lose track of just how big, and how fast the Indian market is growing. Thankfully this great presentation by Simon Kemp, via TheNextWeb, gives us some perspective.

The most striking theme is this: not only is India huge, but it's growing like gangbusters too.

So for example India now has 100 million internet users, almost half as big as the US. But unlike the US that's just 8% of the population and growing by 25% a year.

The report is full of great stats and facts like that.
