Both India and Mexico are developing democracies working towards effective integration of their population in the digital age. One possible area of collaboration with Digital India are the campaigns for digital literacy. The World Bank indicates that India has a level of Internet penetration of around 20%. Granted, 20% of Indian population is a large number of people but mainly, it is proof that the common man is being left behind. Mexico has still work to do in this field, but we have managed to achieve a level of digital penetration around 50%. There is common ground for us to work on best ways to make our citizens digitally empowered.
