Research Methodology

Our comprehensive study to identify and rank India’s Most Valuable 50 Brands spans the last 5 years, providing a robust and up-to-date analysis of the Indian brand landscape. We’ve employed a multi-faceted approach to ensure accuracy and relevance in our valuation process.

Valuation Criteria

We focused on four primary factors to assess brand value:

1. Consumer Perception: We gauged how consumers view and interact with brands, considering factors such as brand awareness, reputation, and emotional connection.
2. Market Share: We analyzed each brand’s market position and its ability to capture and retain a significant portion of its target market.
3. Brand Loyalty: We measured the strength of consumer attachment and repeat purchase behavior associated with each brand.
4. Brand Recognition: We assessed the level of brand recall and the ability of consumers to identify and distinguish the brand in various contexts.

Data Sources

To ensure a comprehensive and unbiased evaluation, we utilized a diverse range of data sources:

• Consumer Surveys: We conducted extensive surveys to gather first-hand insights into consumer attitudes and behaviors towards brands.
• Market Research Data: We analyzed industry reports and market data to understand broader trends and market dynamics.
• Social Media Analytics: We leveraged social listening tools to capture real-time consumer sentiment and engagement with brands across digital platforms.
• Financial Reports: We examined publicly available financial data to correlate brand performance with financial outcomes.
