Sudipta Ghosh  |  Argues in support of  "Brand savvy"  |  1 year ago

The financial status governs the criteria. The lower income group would give priority for cost and the upper income group go for quality and their liking.
Vikas Singh  |  Argues in support of  "Cost savvy"  |  1 year ago

Iñigo Ortiz Monasterio  |  Added idea  "Because in India the human scale is more important. Skyscrapers "  |  1 year ago
