"The 'Internet for All' initiative will encourage the uninitiated to learn more about the internet as a tool for education, banking, shopping, and entertainment, while gaining access to a world of opportunity that the internet opens for us all," said Sashi Shankar, Chief Marketing Officer, Idea Cellular, in a statement.

"We believe that internet adoption can be accelerated at the grass-root level if existing internet users introduce their un-connected friends and family to adopt the service, thereby transforming their lives," he added.
