The researchers wrote: “We looked for permutations on the search term “I Want …” on Google Search. We sifted through over 350 permutations to figure the 20 most popular things Indians want and search for on Google. We didn’t include social data as Google search gave us the most conclusive results. Quick fact check – More people want a car in India than a job. More Indians are looking for Cats than a girlfriend. More Indians want to learn English than have a mobile phone. This is by far our favorite slide in the report.”
