I felt the as per the size and scope of rural market. The brand, company has to be big enough to support the distribution network, inventories and investment capabilities. So rural market can be best explored by Big MNCs better than SMEs.

Market is too dynamic to chase, because loyalty depends on relationship, very less brand awareness and prices of the products.

I think consumers are highly price sensitive and functional value works better so could be difficult for branded goods to compete price warriors. Good avenue for topline growth but not for bottomline.

yes the market is quite heterogenous, challenge here is to customise but that will not be so economical, best ways is to choose the segments with highest potential and customise.

Eradication of nutritional deficiencies and water borne diseases from rural India need a more focussed approach than only introducing products for the so-called bottom of the pyramid. Though healthcare appears in the top 2 aspirations of rural customers, followed by children's education, ironically prevention of diseases/ hygiene do not figure anywhere in the list

A brand is a name that distinguishes a product from others. It has its own identity in the market with its symbol and tagline. When we talk about brands in rural markets some of the names which come to our mind are Rajdoot Bikes,Ghari Detergent,Dolly TV and chic shampoo etc Findings indicated that good quality, value for money and sense of identity with brand were likely to act as key determinants of a FMCG brand in rural India. Better finish and good looks, recommendations from retailers were found be key determinants of a consumer durable brand in rural India. Lets throw some light on agro inputs also like pesticides, fertilizers, manure, seeds, tractors, harvesters, pumps and threshers etc. In this regards marketers are following market specialization strategy.HYV seeds are also becoming popular among the farmers. It is a known fact in rural areas that price plays an important role in rural markets for purchasing the products. Now the New Era of marketing is changing the...

It is my opinion that in order for WiMAX to gain popularity, the three largest mobile-subscriber-capacity countries in the world today, China, the US, and India, have to provide global interoperability in the same frequency range.I am borrowing the quote of Neil Armstrong where when landing on the moon he stated: "That's one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind", WiMAX in idia is that big step.. There is no doubt that WiMAX is the way forward, in case India needs to reach out to all of its population within the stipulated time frame, it needs to act now... The Government's move to establish over one lakh community service centers would be the right approach for spreading broadband to rural areas Telecommunications services in India are moving to the new generation networks, which is expected to provide affordable broadband connections with lots of features. WiMAX too, is expected to be an integral part of this transformation that would provide high bandwidth within long...

Traditionally retailing in India can be traced to the emergence of the neighborhood Kirana stores catering to the convenience of the consumers, an era of government support for rural retail: Indigenous franchise model of store chains run by Khadi Village Industries Commission, 1980s experienced slow change as India began to open up economy. Textiles sector with companies like Bombay Dyeing, Raymond's, S Kumar's and Grasim first saw the emergence of retail chains. Later Titan successfully created an organized retailing concept and established a series of showrooms for its premium watches. The latter half of the 1990s saw a fresh wave of entrants with a shift from Manufactures to Pure Retailers. For example Food World, Subhiksha and Nilgiris in food and FMCG; Planet M and Music World in music; Crossword and Fountainhead in books. Post 1995 onwards saw an emergence of shopping centers, mainly in urban areas, with facilities like car parking targeted to provide a complete destination...
