Understanding the Indian ‘Families’ as Consumption Units
Consumers live their lives as ‘families’ and not households. And family consumptions get driven by the all the people living in them and not just by the ‘chief wage earner’ of the house
How a family consumes gets defined as much by the ‘family composition’ and the ‘lifecycle stage’ the family is in, as by its socio-economic status and the ‘ability to spend’
It is therefore important to ‘distinguish’ and understand families by their ‘member composition’ to target them appropriately
Topline Findings
The Macro Picture
There are approx. 226 million families in India* (72 mn urban, 154 mn rural)
The average family size varies from 1 to 6.9 depending on the family composition 
25 mn Indian families (11% of all families) have more than 1 earning member
28 mn Indians (2.5%) prefer to read in English, marginally more than Malayalam. 50% of Indians preferring to read in English live in rural areas
Average monthly family income in India is Rs.5,930 (‘per capita’ is Rs.1,350)
70% of all Indian families earn average to below-average incomes
At 30%, highest proportion of families belong to SEC ‘R4’
19.5 million families (27% of urban, or 9% of all Indian families) belong to SEC ‘A’ and ‘B’
Chief wage earners of 87% of SEC ‘A’ and 36% of SEC ‘B’ families are graduates
No SEC ‘C’ and ‘R1’ chief wage earners are graduates. But 15% SEC ‘C’ families and 22% SEC ‘R1’ families have a graduate member within the household 
Clearly then, defining the socio-economic status (SEC) of a household using education level of the ‘chief wage earner’ is losing its meaning and can often mislead  
Looking at Families by ‘Lifecycle’ Stage
51% Indians are married. But only 1 in 5 Indian family (21%) is a 3-generation joint family, or ‘Dynasties’
An equal proportion of Indian families (21%) are ‘Baby Sitters’ - with the eldest child below 12 years in age
The majority 45% of Indian families are ‘Maturing Mentors’, or families with the youngest child above 12 years in age
Young married couples without any children, the ‘Nest Builders’, account for only 7% of all Indian families
The single independents, or ‘Free Birds’, account for only 1.3% of all Indian families
Dynasties have the highest average monthly family incomes (Rs. 6,530). But they have the lowest average ‘per capita’ monthly incomes (Rs.975)
Free birds show the second highest average monthly family incomes (Rs.6,385), and the highest average ‘per capita’ monthly incomes (Rs.6,385)*
Rented accommodation is highest among Free Birds (at 35%). Dynasties show the highest incidence of ‘inherited’ property (at 74%) 
Automobile ownership (both cars and 2-wheelers) is highest among Dynasties
Preference for reading in English is relatively highest among ‘Free Birds’ (6%) and lowest among ‘Dynasties’ (0.5%)

      <title>The Diversity of the Top 100 Cities of India</title>
      <link>http://www.slideshare.net/siddutta/the-diversity-of-the-top-100-cities-of-india-1194878</link>
      <description>
        <![CDATA[<img src="http://cdn.slidesharecdn.com/indiacityoverview-090325053501-phpapp02-thumbnail-2?1237977329" alt ="" style="border:1px solid #C3E6D8;float:right;" /><br> There are very high levels of diversity in India in almost all spheres of our lives.  And the same is true for our cities.  So much so that it is difficult to identify commonalities and patterns such that we can easily categorize and fit cities in.
For the researcher interested in neatly categorizing different cities in different groups, this poses a problem, as the only categorization that will work is related to size.  For the manager interested in a common approach for her marketing efforts across cities, this poses an even larger problem.  It will be difficult to imagine a common strategy for Mumbai and Surat – both among the 10 largest markets in India and only a few hundred kilometers away. This diversity exists not only between cities, but also within cities.  
Whichever way we see it, India is a heterogeneous country with cities that are also heterogeneous.  An appreciation of this heterogeneity needs to be built-in as an integral part of our understanding of cities. 
Another aspect of Indian cities needs to be appreciated.  No one single city dominates any large sphere – true Mumbai dominates the financial sector, Delhi the political ‘sector’, but there is little else.  Almost as many movies are made out of Chennai as in Mumbai, the automobile sector is spread around Pune, Delhi, Chennai and many other cities.  And though many of the large IT companies are headquartered in Bangalore, cities such as Pune, Hyderabad are rapidly catching up, not to mention the high levels of IT activity in Mumbai and Delhi regions.  Whether it is an economic activity, or any other aspect of life, India is fortunate to have a large number of diverse and dynamic cities.  
Delhi and Mumbai do not dominate India as much as, say, Mexico City dominates Mexico, or Sao Paolo dominates Brazil.  The top 100 largest cities only account for roughly 50 to 60 percent of the overall market.  So as long as we are thinking of the Indian middle class, or those at the bottom of the pyramid, there is a large chunk spread much more finely in the rest of the 5000 odd cities in India.  These masses may not necessarily be from the top educational institutes of India, most may not be English speaking – but many of the highly educated and high income earners are not necessarily only in the top 100 cities.  
But the glass is half full.  These top 100 cities do contain the largest chunk of the Indian urban population and market.  For those interested in covering the bulk of India’s urban population and market, concentrating on these 100 cities can yield rapid results provided enough flexibility exists in their strategies to account for the heterogeneity.]]>

We use a simple definition—households having annual income greater than Rs5 lakh a year, or slightly more than Rs40,000 per month. Gujarat, due to its large cash crop production, Uttar Pradesh because of its large size, Kerala, with its cash crops plus returning migrants, and Punjab and Haryana account for the largest number of rural rich. But if we look at the concentration of the rich, namely, the percentage share of rich households to the total households, we find a different picture. The small states of Goa and Delhi are also included in the Top 5.

Why is rural Gujarat more prosperous than UP, despite the fact that the latter has much better soil and a far better agricultural ecosystem? Gujarat has made rapid advances in rural infrastructure for the last many years, it has a high proportion of land devoted to cash crops, and its farmers have benefited from Bt cotton, a biotech crop. On the other hand, Punjab and Haryana have a stagnating agriculture with tapering or falling productivity increases. Nagaland, at the other end of the country, has taken to cash crops in a big way, cardamom being one of its rapidly growing crops. Being a small state, though, the market size is smaller than in other states, and connectivity still needs significant improvement. Still, this is one state that has been doing particularly well in agriculture in the recent past. 
The district-level story yields even more interesting insights. Three districts from Kerala make it to the top of the charts. Wayanad, with its commercial crops and plantations of coffee, tea, pepper and rubber, leads in the number of rural rich households and has also become an attractive tourist destination. Midnapore in West Bengal is the only district from the east in the list. A large district with a high population density, Midnapore has seen farm production grow steadily in the last two-and-a-half decades.
But rural affluence does not stem solely from agriculture. A large number of households in Kerala benefit from remittances as well as returning migrants. Gurgaon in Haryana has seen rapid increases in land values in its urban area. With prospective developers buying up large tracts of land, many of Gurgaon’s rural inhabitants have entered the ranks of the affluent by selling their land. To some extent, the story is similar for Surat in Gujarat, one of the most rapidly growing cities of the 1990s and 2000s.
Rural affluence today is not only about agriculture, though it does have a strong role to play. In a country where the share of agriculture in the economy is falling steadily, it is but natural that many areas would have non-agriculture related stories. Yes, manufacturing, trade and construction are the new drivers of rural affluence.

        <![CDATA[<img src="http://cdn.slidesharecdn.com/financial-sector-india-1234345850082118-1-thumbnail-2?1234345951" alt ="" style="border:1px solid #C3E6D8;float:right;" /><br> Undoubtedly, India’s economic reforms have changed the way we work, live, consume and invest. And in sync with this, aspirations and expectations have also changed dramatically for many of us. With changing aspirations and greater choice in employment, consumption, and investment options we have become a far more mature economy. No doubt large gaps remain, the large numbers of the unbanked, the lack of adequate micro-finance options for the poor and the underprivileged, the inability of many to enter into the organized sector and stable employment are all unfulfilled gaps. But unlike in the past, today both private and public sector initiatives are being taken to find the right mix of technology, access, and costs, that can fulfill the demands of the masses.
What was available in only Mumbai and Delhi a few years back is today commonplace in small towns and villages in India. ATMs are one example. Credit card is another. Already mobile payment options have been introduced and are further being experimented with. Cash cards are also expanding rapidly. Good quality internet access has already spread beyond the major metros and with the introduction of broadband will be available in every nook and corner of the country.
Admittedly, such advances in financial technologies have tended to benefit the better-off more than those at the bottom of the pyramid. The key problem is that most financial technologies in use today were developed in the West (and consequently are costly) and have been introduced into India almost as-is. It is difficult to profitably service the masses with those. But trials of new innovations are under-way. A team at IIT Chennai has developed a very low cost ATM that public sector banks are currently experimenting with. Many financial institutions are trying out different ways of running low cost micro-finance options. IT companies are trying out various low cost electronic payment alternatives not to mention computing options. Undoubtedly, many of these experiments will fail. But a few will succeed. And it is those innovations
that will change the lives of the masses, just as their predecessors have changed ours.]]>

Not only that, the large base of its age pyramid shows that for many years, Indian population will continue to have a large number of young.
But beyond this there is not much of an understanding. For instance, among the higher income groups the age distribution is more like that of developed countries, somewhat uniform among the lower age segments with a tapering off at the higher end. This is important from a marketing perspective.
Age is only one small characteristic of overall consumer demography. The bulk of Indian households in both rural and urban areas are in fact nuclear and not at all in sync with the imaginary household shown in various TV soaps. Large joint families are an insignificant percentage of the total. Extended families (where parents stay with a married child) are the next in importance and, if trends are to be believed, will become even more important in the near future.
India has historically been a highly rural country with the bulk of its population residing in far flung areas. But its urban areas have been growing at a far more rapid pace in the last few years and are only expected to grow at a faster rate. India is no longer a rural country, though the majority of its population continues to reside there.]]>

The City Skyline of India – Neighbourhood Series divides the cities into neighbourhoods which are as small as a few square kms. It brings out information on consumer demographics, disposable income, consumption expenditure (aggregated as well as separately on major heads) and savings of households.
How does the profile of consumers in Uttam Nagar compare with that of Kondli, in Delhi? How does Greater Kailash 1 compare with Vasant Vihar? Or how do Koramangla in B’lore, Goregaon Dindoshi in Mumbai and Saket in Delhi compare with each other?
The City Skyline of India – Neighbourhood Series, is designed to help marketers and strategists dissect the cities of India at extremely granular levels.]]>
