/ what decode found this week
The fastest-growing GLP-1 drug users in India are adults 35-65, Kellogg's primary buyer. They're consuming 20–30% fewer calories daily. Not occasionally. Routinely.
69% of consumers want Nestlé in premium health categories. Nestlé barely shows up there. Regional clean-label brands are capturing that wallet share every month. Once a household switches its healthy staple, it rarely switches back.
Only 34% of Decathlon's customers see the brand as part of their athletic identity. The other 66% are loyal to price, not Decathlon. Zero switching cost. One good campaign from a niche brand could take them overnight.
85% of buyers already believe EcoTank is cheaper over time. 42% still stall at the upfront price. The sale is won in the customer's head and lost at the register. Every day. A financing option fixes this. Nothing else will.
69% of young viewers save Hyundai's design content. None of it leads to a dealership. Every saved post is free brand equity, waiting for the first competitor who runs the retargeting ad.
72% of founders think their perception of IIMB Innovations is outdated. 60% walk in with the wrong expectations. Strong founders are rejecting IIMB before they apply, not after evaluating it. The applicant pool shrinks every cycle this stays unfixed.
90% of Gen Z already trust ISKCON's meditation practices for mental wellbeing. 79% would attend a program for that reason alone. Programs are still marketed as spiritual, not wellness. A willing audience walks past an entry point that was never built for them.
61% of brides decide their bridal look on Pinterest and Instagram, months before they shop. They are deciding Malabar Gold does not fit that look. The sale is lost before she becomes a footfall number.
49% of Satvic's audience consumes content regularly. Only 36% convert to paying customers. That gap is real production cost, building trust with an audience that has no next step to purchase.
65% of shoppers want modern ethnic wear but assume modern means the craft cut corners. Every collection without a visible artisan story gets filed next to fast fashion. That puts Avantra in a price war it was never positioned to fight.
The fastest-growing GLP-1 users in India are adults 35–65, the core buyer for most packaged food brands. They're cutting daily calories by 20–30%. Not occasionally. Routinely. The volume is leaving the shelf right now. It won't show up in a sales report for two quarters.
Urban Indian women who want fairness in household chores outnumber the ones buying for status. If the last campaign sold convenience or shine, it spoke to the smaller audience and ignored the larger, more decisive one.
Searches for identity-driven dressing among Indian men are climbing. Logo-forward pieces have flipped from a flex to a tell. If Rare Rabbit still leans on visible branding as the hero, it's selling status to a buyer who's already decided that's the wrong flex.
One major food delivery campaign scored high on attention, low on brand recall. The ad worked. The brand didn't. Any brand not measuring this gap is funding someone else's awareness.
