ET World Leaders Forum: Our complex consumers are clear on aspirations, conscious of value & uncompromising on quality, say panelists

The new Indian consumer is aspirational, yet price conscious; diverse, yet unified in their expectations. They all want premium homes, cars, food, and hotels, but in an ardently value conscious manner. These were the key takeaways of a power-packed discussion on The New India Blueprint: Cities, Consumers, and the Business of Aspiration. The core theme was how India's aspirational economy is focused on the demand for premiumisation and superior experiences, but for products and services that offer value and differentiation, across pin codes and well beyond metro limits.
