Regional Relevance Could Be A Key Enabler

• For food and beverage brands where taste and flavors


are key, regional relevance not only recruits new
consumers, but also gives brands a chance to innovate and
connect.

• However, the key to profitably sustaining a regionally-


relevant proposition, is a fundamental change in the
operating business model.

• All elements of the value chain must be re-engineered to


deliver a consumer-relevant proposition that balances local
relevance
l with
ith a sound

A small hint of this sensuality was evident in our study on lingerie. While the rest of

“Red in the Bengali culture stands for a sign of luck, emotion, fortune and copulation.”

Bengali women are also more involved in current affairs and actively
participate in societal events. In fact, there were more Bengali women
freedom fighters than women freedom fighters from the rest of the country.
This woman strength perhaps has roots in the fact that the society is a
staunch worshipper of many Goddesses - Durga, Kali and Saraswati and
hence respects the many forms of the woman.
The Idealistic Eastern Male
Poles apart from the dominant, aggressive, status seeking northerner, the Eastern Man is
idealistic, argumentative, lazy, romantic and a dreamer.
Over the years we have witnessed the excellence of the East in the area of thought,

literature and culture. The intellectualism that this zone has inherited is very much a part
of their culture and tastes even today. Combine this with the frustrations of low incomes
and a lack of economic achievements, the male here displays strong ideological
tendencies (often socialist), and is quite cynical. He consciously avoids overt status
symbols , and is happy at his `addas`
addas with much friends and `fafffaff !!`

Studies in the paints category indicate that while all the other zones admit to getting
their homes painted to impress others, this zone is the exception.

Simplicity & Frugality
This value is best expressed through the Maharashtrian principle of “Sadhi rahani ani
uccha vichar” translated as “ simple living and high thinking.”

This zone is characterized by simplicity and humility of the people. Excessiveness,


immoderation and extravagance are certainly antithetical to western sensibility, both in
thought and living.
The other dimension of this simplicity is prudence. Prudence and a matter- of fact
approach towards material comforts characterize the western outlook. This has
percolated the very way of living, from the simple weddings to the home décor, which
may be elegant, but often borders on the minimalist and functional.

wedding can be an education in itself
