Where and when did the Internet start in India?

 The Internet has had a significant impact on India and has played a key role in the country's economic and social development. The introduction and spread of the Internet in India has been a gradual process that has evolved over time.

The first Internet connection in India was established in August 1995 by the Indian Institute of Science (IISc) in Bangalore, which was connected to the Internet through a satellite link. This marked the beginning of the Internet era in India.

In the following years, the Internet began to spread to other parts of the country, and the number of Internet users in India gradually increased. The Indian government played a key role in promoting the growth of the Internet in the country, and it implemented a number of policies and initiatives to encourage the development of the Internet infrastructure and the adoption of the Internet by individuals and businesses.

Over the past two decades, the Internet has become an important part of life in India, and it has had a transformative effect on many aspects of society, including education, commerce, communication, and entertainment. Today, India has one of the largest and fastest-growing Internet populations in the world, with over 700 million Internet users as of 2021.
