  Yes, says Aditya Dev Sood, CEO of Bangalore-based Centre for Knowledge Societies (CKS), a research and design-consulting company. He says the mobile's "greatest impact would be on those people with professions that are time, location and information sensitive.
  ...
  Sood says productivity rises because mobiles help counter the biggest challenge an aspirational society can face - inaccessibility.
  
  "Financial deals done over mobiles reduce transaction costs and enhance productivity. Mobiles are part of the organized sector already; they can also transform the informal economy substantially," says Sood.
  ...
  The mobile is the new equity, concludes Sood, because it facilitates greater participation in the economy.

  Aditya Dev Sood, Founder and CEO, CKS, said: "At present, we can see Chinese goods flooding the world market.

  Sood pointed out that information was gradually replacing Industrialism: "Strong and sustained employment growth is seen in the service sector, while the manufacturing sector sees variable change.We see that in Brazil, where at 64 per cent, the largest share of Brazil's GDP comes from the service sector while the industrial sector contributes only half of that at 30.8 per cent," he said.
  
  In many emerging economy environments, especially in rural areas, soft infrastructure is encountered even in the absence of hard infrastructure.
  
  "More importantly, the installation and use of soft infrastructure can generate and attract the capital resources necessary to build the more expensive hard infrastructure.For instance, Egypt's population enjoys a substantially high mobile coverage at 87 per cent while 29 per cent of its villages still have no access to safe drinking water," he said.
  
  Sood said informal economies are becoming networked economies: "Large informal markets for intellectual property continue to coexist with newly organised corporate retail outlets, as each caters to different consumer segments.Where once only large corporations enjoyed sophisticated long distance access, even micro-enterprises can now be connected to one another," he stated.
