India’s digital boom: EMQQ Global’s ETF opportunity
EMQQ Global founder Kevin Carter talked with Proactive's Stephen Gunnion about the IMQQ India Internet UCITS ETF, a fund designed to capture the rapid digital transformation happening in India. Carter emphasised that India is experiencing a "digital golden age", driven by three key megatrends: rising consumer demand, widespread smartphone adoption, and expanding internet access.
Carter explained that India has the world’s largest and youngest population, coupled with one of the fastest-growing economies. As more Indians gain access to affordable smartphones and internet services, they are rapidly integrating into the digital economy. He highlighted that companies in India’s internet sector—ranging from food delivery to online beauty retail—are experiencing explosive growth.
He also pointed out the India Stack, a government-backed digital infrastructure initiative that has enabled financial inclusion for 800 million people through Aadhaar-based digital identification. This foundation, along with seamless digital payments, is accelerating India's transition into a highly connected economy.
Discussing the ETF’s methodology, Carter stated that the fund focuses on India’s new-age technology companies that dominate e-commerce, financial services, and consumer technology. Some key holdings include Zomato (food delivery), Nykaa (beauty e-commerce), and Makemytrip (online travel services).
Although the market has seen a correction recently, Carter remains bullish on India’s long-term digital growth, comparing it to China’s rise two decades ago. He believes long-term investors have a significant opportunity in India’s expanding internet sector.
