Hi @steevc
I'm actually from India and don't think Steemit has yet found out a base here.
I came across Steemit through coinmarketcap and I joined the platform the moment that I realized that this is gonna be the next big thing! I have talked my way through some of my friends and made them join the platform but they aren't quite active yet!
One thing is for sure, once Steemit explodes in India, the market is gonna go crazy!!!
