In a poll conducted by the Digital Quality of Life Index, India came in at number 52 out of 121 nations. Surfshark, a cybersecurity company, conducted the poll. The Netherlands-based company’s yearly assessment assessed 121 nations based on five criteria: internet quality, affordability, e-infrastructure, e-government, and e-security.

Last year, India was rated 59th. This indicates a seven-place improvement this time. According to Surfshark, the country’s improved internet quality is the cause of this increase. India is ranked 16th out of 121 nations in terms of the quality of the internet.

France topped the list with  Internet Affordability #0.1295 and Internet Quality #0.1135 

Digital quality of life

“In many nations, ‘digital quality of life’ has merged into the broader concept of overall ‘quality of life’. There’s no other way to look at it now that so many daily activities, including work, education, and leisure, are done online. That’s why it’s crucial to pinpoint the areas in which a nation’s digital quality of life thrives and where attention is needed, which is the precise purpose of the DQL Index”, says Surfshark spokesperson Gabriele Racaityte-Karasauske.
