What does India think of India?

 7th October 2013    PR News 

Today, India holds the centre stage in the global arena as an emerging economic power. But, the spotlight has triggered a debate in the media regarding the enigma of brand India.

After six decades of independence, India is often heralded in the international media as a rising economic giant, yet commentary on its economic might is often coupled with criticism about its archaic bureaucracy, political instability, corruption, social issues, and socio-economic inequalities.

Events over the last few years, fuelled by the rising access of tools for India’s citizens to make their voice heard, have shined a bright spotlight on how brand India is perceived.

The PRCAI have conducted a Brand India Survey – designed to gauge what brand India stands for. Below is a selection of the results:
