SoCheers has unveiled, Breaking the Metro Myopia, a strategic report that challenges deep-rooted urban biases about India’s next wave of demand. While most strategies involve metro-led patterns, the report highlights the subtler triggers, cultural cues and evolving behavioral patterns shaping India’s growth in Tier-II and Tier-III cities urging brands a clearer lens to understand what they have long overlooked.
Based on primary data collected across urban and rural India, the report outlines young spenders who are reshaping digital commerce. Gen Zs accounts for nearly 46% of India’s total consumer expenditure, while women make up over half of Tier III active shoppers. The report shows how regional language dominance and simplified journey strongly influence adoption. These patterns reveal that influence has now shifted from platforms and brands to people and their everyday digital instincts.
The report delves into emerging trends reshaping the rules of engagement in India. It also outlines the blind spots of complex journeys, low cultural fluency and limited trust infrastructure that currently hold millions back from deeper participation in digital commerce
