The Most Aspiring Brand of Digital India
A Survey by foreseegame.com
22nd September 2014 | 1
Executive Summary
The Most Aspiring Brand of Digital India
Show and sale is dead. Consumer engagement through utility, entertainment and
social responsibility is the key to build brands
The call of the Prime Minister Sri Narendra Modi to transform India into ‘Digital
India’ has created a strong sense of enthusiasm in the mind of young Indians. The 3 Ds
that the Prime Minister had already described as ‘Democracy’, ‘Demography’ and
‘Demand’ have now got their fourth counterpart, the fourth D, i.e., ‘digital India’. The
PM said that the ‘digital India’ is not an elite concept anymore and that we have to use
the idea to revolutionize health and education in India. In fact, it is not just health and
education sectors that will be transformed as a result of the digital storm, but there will
be progress across all the sectors. The PM’s message of transforming India into a
digitally progressed nation has created an enormous opportunity for all round
development and growth of the country. The concept is giving out a signal that the
digital India is now a category on its own right; that digital India is a great media for
advertisement, communication and consumer engagement; that digital India is the new
line of supply management; and, most importantly, digital India is now the voice of the
aspiring Indian youth.
The new digital wave has given birth to digital consumerism. As digitally active
consumers have embraced the internet, telecom, media and social networking sites,
their choice and purchasing decisions have also undergone a change, leading to an era
of digital consumerism. Rise in the number of consumers who shop and interact with
brands online have opened a tremendous growth opportunity for companies and
brands, as it has opened the scope of stiff competition as well.
foreseegame.com is India’s No. 1 digital media for consumer engagement platform
making it the most appropriate platform to carry out a survey and find out which are
the most aspiring brands of the digital India.
Opinion Square, foreseegame’s unique platform, seeks the opinion of consumers
through a set of well-placed, strategic questions. At the same time it strives to know
the aspiration of the consumers and tap the mind of the Indians. The traditional way of
seeking opinions involves carrying out surveys which again includes appropriate
sampling, quality of sampling and crucial management of quality and data.
www.foreseegame.com provides exactly that sort of engagement while successfully
combining quality with connectivity.

Executive Summary
foreseegame’s 360 degree consumer engagement programme ranges from a two-way
communication to co-creation by means of engagement through audios and videos and
participation in activities that entail social responsibility.
The latest Opinion Square report on The Most Aspiring Brands of Digital India,
wanted to read the mind of common Indians and sought to gauge their aspiration about
various brands. There are some brands the consumers adore, and there are others
which they do not feel comfortable with. This brand relationship has a lot to do with
the position of a brand. Despite creating impressive advertisements and holding brand
awareness campaigns, some companies fail miserably at building enduring
relationship with the consumers. Brands that can successfully build a two-way
communication with their consumers sustain in the long run.
foreseegame.com’s latest Opinion Square, ‘The Most Aspiring Brands of Digital
India’, is the most comprehensive brand survey of recent times. The survey report
presents the major brands’ position in the market in contrast with their competitor
brands. We prefer to call it ‘digital’ because our survey is aimed towards those who are
essentially netizens. The survey spans over 15 categories of products and services that
are essential needs of common people.
The categories of products and services that have been included in the survey are
personal care, home care & décor, consumer durables, electronics & gadgets, food &
beverages, lifestyle, baby care products, gem & jewellery, infotainment & education,
online shopping, retail store chains, eating out, travel & tourism, automobiles and
banking & insurance. The survey results are completely unbiased and reflects the true
choice of the digital India.
The important finding is that in order to come up on top a brand need not splurge on
celebrity endorsement. Signing celebrities merely as the brand ambassador does not
create aspiration in the minds of Indian consumers. A brand needs to have a powerful
consumer engagement programme to make the consumers conscious about the brand’s
presence.
In this context, it would be relevant to look back to one of our earlier Opinion Square
report, titled ‘The Outlook of Indian Youth’.

Executive Summary
•
Confirming to the worries of the advertisers, 82% of the respondents say that they
simply flip the channel or indulged themselves in other activities like checking
emails or finishing pending casual works. Only 18% see and enjoy the ads.
•
Similarly when it comes to news Indian youth have not made much discrimination
between different modes to receive it. 28% respondents say that they catch news
from internet portals while 26% prefer to get it from television. 25% resort to
mobile net while 21% stick with newspapers.
•
It has been further noticed that features & quality as well as the brand name rule
Indian youth’s shopping habit. When buying a new product 39% of respondents
check the features & qualities of the product while 26% rely on the brand value.
Price is also a factor with 20% of the respondents checking the price point while
buying a product. Factors like availability and celebrity endorsement associated
with the product have taken a backseat with only 7% and 8% votes respectively.
Secondly, social responsibility is a leading priority to the Indian consumers. ‘Being
Human’, a clothing lineup in a close connection with a charitable trust that helps
underprivileged children across India, has come up to the second position as the most
aspiring western wear range beating a number of established clothing giants. It is
because the brand relates with being socially responsible and communicates with
consumers. The consumers’ connection and participation to social responsibility is
playing an integral role in creating the most aspiring brands of digital India.
Social responsibility is critical for any brand to drive the aspiration of the consumers.
But the main problem is how to communicate with the consumers. Spending on
advertisement could be a way but is has two problems: a) it involves huge budget to
communicate with a billion people; b) the communication itself may go negative as
there can be perception that the brand itself is beating the drum of its own charity.
Now what the solution is? Again it is participation and engagement. It is evident for
the brands that they must do social responsibility but merely drawing donation
cheques won’t suffice. There has to be community participation. The platform of
foreseegame.com provides the same with unique positioning.

Executive Summary
Third, the brands that have active two-way consumer engagement programme have
positioned better than brands splurging on advertisements through one-way
communication.
The divide of urban India and rural India has been replaced by ‘digitally connected’
and ‘not digitally connected’. The digitally connected group of
people are more vocal and express their opinions in social media and they are the
opinion makers for the brands.
About 22,000 participants have participated in the survey from all parts of India;
however the limitation of this sample is that it is from the group of people who are
users of internet.

The Most Aspiring Brands of Digital India
Home Care & Décor
Why the Category Featured in Our Survey?
It is almost every Indian household’s dream to have a well decorated home. Though
the global economic slowdown affected the industry in India in 2013; however, in
2014, growth rates improved noticeably. Consumers increasingly spent with
discretion, purchased new products and also upgraded from traditional products. This
supported growth of the home care industry in 2014. Naturally the category of Home

The Most Aspiring Brands of Digital India
Baby & Kids
Why the Category Featured in Our Survey?
The children’s wear market remained strong against men’s and women’s wear
categories in the past one year. This has led to stronger competition among luxury
brands to capture a larger pie of the lucrative market. In India, the Associated
Chambers of Commerce and Industry estimates that the kids’ wear industry is worth
Rs 38,000 crores, and growing at a compound annual rate of about 20 percent to reach
Rs 80,000 crores by 2015. Overall, the baby and children’s market in India is pegged
at over 5 billion dollars (above Rs 27,000 crores), growing at 20-25 percent a year.

The Most Aspiring Brands of Digital India
Consumer Durables
Why the Category Featured in Our Survey?
India is expected to become the fifth largest consumer durable market in the world; the
market is expected to reach US$ 12.5 billion by the financial year 2015, from US$ 7.3
billion in the financial year 2012. Urban markets account for the major share (65 per
cent) of total revenues in the consumer durables sector in India. Demand in urban
markets is likely to increase for non-essential products such as LED TVs, laptops and
air
Conditioning products. In rural markets, durables like refrigerators as well as
consumer electronic goods are likely to witness growing demand in the coming years
as the Government of India plans to invest significantly in rural electrification.

been reflected in our survey results as well, because Inox and Imax have fought it out till the very end, and
Inox came on top by a margin of just 1%. 32% respondents have voted for Inox, while Imax got 31% vote.

Symbian is passé. The new days of android and iOS is here. Our survey results reveals that Android is the
most preferred mobile operating system for a majority of 43% participants. However, the element of
surprise is very much there as BADA, an old operating system once used by Samsung has come under the
