Agenda for Conclave & Awards 2025

Panel Discussion Topics for 2025

Topic 1: Decoding price sensitivity in rural consumers, will they buy products that cost relatively more?

  • How do rural consumers define ‘value’, as it might differ from the traditional urban consumer ?
  • Do rural consumers equate value with durability, community reputation, or brand legacy rather than hard-nosed per unit calculation?
  • Does flaunt value count as much (or more) as intrinsic product value?
  • Have innovations like credit access through fintech, ‘buy now pay later - BNPL’, value packs or cooperative models allowed consumers to stretch their budgets for aspirational brands?
  • Has digital penetration, social media, and rural influencers created newer aspirations among rural consumers?
  • Does the lower per capita income allow for the consumer to buy ‘premium’ brand?
  • How does this consumer battle the growing inflation on one hand, and move to premium brands on the other?
  • Is rural India’s digital leap a catalyst for premiumization?

Topic 2: The ideal media approach for Tier 2/3 and rural brands with a limited media budget of ₹5 to ₹20 Crore.

  • How can brands optimize their media mix with limited budgets and innovative, cost-effective channels?
  • How do digital, print, TV, and radio complement each other in rural markets?
  • What’s the role of an integrated media strategy in amplifying impact with fewer vehicles?
  • Does advertising on news channels boost retailer confidence, and does it enhance consumer trust simultaneously?
  • Should a brand expand in limited proximal geographies, undertake cluster marketing and thereby, spend media monies with more intensity per location?
  • How can regional influencers and local leaders create authentic, cost-effective connections with rural consumers?
  • How regional OTT can provide both mass and targeted reach for brands experimenting with digital?
  • How do offline touchpoints like community events serve as media channels in rural marketing?
  • What’s the role of vernacular advertising across markets?
