India Receiving Website Building and Google Training for SMBs

📅 January 6, 2017 - Google recently announced the launching of training for 51 million small and medium-sized businesses in India. This is called the Digital Unlocked and it was announced on Wednesday at an event held in New Delhi.

The Digital Unlocked website will provide 90 training videos with 23 total digital marketing topics covered. About 5,000 workshops will be held throughout 40 different Indian cities across the next 3 years, as well.

Since less than one-third of the small businesses found in India have any type of web presence, Google believes they can make a difference. The training will help teach small and medium-sized businesses how to create, maintain and market a website.
