Abstract
Technological advancement and rapid expansion of internet services have resulted in making people digitally literate. This paper attempts to take an in-depth look at the data of internet users in South Asia with a precise focus on gender perspective.

Therefore, it would be noteworthy to identify whether technological expansion has helped in minimising the existing gender gap in the region or it has worked adversely! This paper is based on the secondary data and relevant literature available in the public domain.
