YouTube Go is faster, lighter, and has been built from ground up for the Indian market, Johanna Wright, Vice President of Product Management, YouTube said today at a press conference in New Delhi. The team spent time in rural India to understand the challenges people face with internet access.
"We believe that no matter who you are, or where you come from, everyone should get an opportunity," Wright said. The company said it spent a lot of time in Indian rural areas to understand the challenges people face in accessing the internet. "You can’t solve these challenges by sitting in Silicon Valley," Wright added.
