    2. “India, officially the Republic of India is a sovereign country in South Asia. It is the seventh-largest country by geographical area, the second most populous country, and the most populous democracy in the world…….” says Wikipedia.org – the present day reference of the world. Is India just this or a lot more? What does India exactly mean? What does it stand for? How do people across the globe perceive India and Indians? These were the questions that cropped up our minds when we took up the task of branding India. While walking this path we realised that unlike branding a product, branding a nation was much more dynamic with different stakeholders at different points in time. Most the nations branded themselves to attract tourists. But we realised that this was a very narrow outlook to the task of branding India, a task which might even determine the pure existence of India in future. For eg. in the present day religously bipolarised world where there is a constant fight between the christian nations and the muslim nations, India considered to be a Hindu country might be left alone to defend it itself against external forces or internal terroists. Depening on the perception of our country to be a tolerant country which is the breeding ground for religious thought and better living or an agressive Hindu nation depends the political stand that the other nations take towards us. The perception of political stalwarts like George Bush, President of United States of America, Pervez Musharaf, President of Pakistan, Angela Merkel, The German Chancellor, etc. towards India, Indian Government and Indians would affect the relations of these countries with India. Similary the perceptions of influential people like Pope Benedict XVI , the religous leader of Catholics across the world, of Oprah Winfrey, host of the
    3. highest rated talk show, of Majid Majidi, renowened Iranian film director among others shape the opinion of the general public across the globe. Considering the social, political and economical reasons to brand India we classified our stakeholders among whom we need to position India as the following 1] Foreign Governements This relevance of this class has been explained earlier. 2] Foreign multinational and transnational companies Large companies today have a turnover which is much larger than the GDP of many small countries and their investment patterns would influence the growth of a country like India which needs to be fuelled to foreign money to sutain the current pace of growth. 3] International Organisations / associations United Nations, World Bank, SAARC, European Union today influence the outlook of its members / participants toward different nations 4] Foreign nationals Depending on their perception of India they choose to travel to this country as a tourist giving a big boost to the tourist industry. Their genaralised perception influence the perspective of the government at large. Their perceptions of India also affect their behaviour towards Indians who vist or stay in their countries. 5] Indian Nationals They are the consumers of Brand India, Brand Ambassodors of India as well as the product itself.
    4. We tried to understand the perceptions of these classes in our research. The methodology of this and the findings of the same are given below.
    5. PRIMARY RESEARCH
    6. PRIMARY RESEARCH: We conducted an exhaustive primary research to find out perception of various stakeholders about India. RESEARCH OBJECTIVE: To gauge the perceptions of various stakeholders about India and Indians METHODOLOGY: In-depth Interviews: We chose a sample across the classification of Indian Nationals and conducted in-depth discussion with them.

    14. ANALYSIS OF PRIMARY RESEARCH
    15. Relevant Findings from the Primary Research: - “Chalta Hai”: An indiscipline attitude showed by majority of Indians and Indian organizations is perceived to be a major negative of India. We observed a life like example of this attitude during our primary research. As mentioned earlier, we had sent our questions and discussion topics to various stakeholders across the globe. We received acknowledgement/denials from most of the people/organizations. This included acknowledgements from the Government of Japan, Microsoft, Government of Chinese Republic (Taiwan), Steve Waugh and interview denials from Tony Blair, Roger Federer and White House. However, we were really disappointed when the same request sent to Indian Prime Minister’s office (PMO) was neither acknowledged nor denied. Despite sending a reminder after a week, no action was taken. - Health, Hygiene and cleanliness were the major issues both in India and abroad. The dilapidated state of cleanliness and hygiene is clearly visible to a foreigner as soon as he/she lands on Indian soil. The sorry state of Delhi and Mumbai Airports speaks volumes about the general cleanliness state in the country. The lack of public toilets and peoples’ habit of disposing off anywhere was considered as one of the most shameful and disgusting issue. It was also observed that people related state of health
    16. and hygiene in the country to its social progress. “Jab tak public toilet nahin honge tab tak mahilaon ki izzat aur aaburu nahi hogi”, this statement reflected the sentiments of the respondents about the sanitation issues. This problem was mainly attributed to two reasons: lack of attitude to remain clean and lack of resources to maintain it. - Corruption: - In India and abroad, India is perceived as a corrupt nation. Corruption has become the integral part of our system. “How does one get a license, a degree, or an approval of a building plan? How do you have an FIR filed, an emergency attended to, a real criminal arrested, a damsel in distress treated, …. ? Colleges are sanctioned to politicians who care two hoots for education; Selection policies are framed to favour greater revenue with no attention to quality or suitability. No concern for the law or ethics: Eg, the petrol bunks charge the new price a day before the announced time – with no compunction at all. (I went to five petrol bunks, one after the other the same day, and heard: “We know it’s from tomorrow, but we have started today”; “What can we do, our manager has told us to charge the new price – the manager is not here now”; “Pay this price and take the petrol or just leave”; “This is our price; do what you like – go complain to anyone you like. …”. This statement clearly explains how the evil of corruption has soaked into our system.
    17. Knowledge economy: India is considered as a booming knowledge economy (this transformation happened due to development in Information and Technology). Of late India has become the hub for outsourcing activities and is considered as indispensable by the companies worldwide. Although India is perceived as a knowledge economy, many people perceive India as a source of cheap labor and a place fit for doing backend office work and a hub for call centre activities. Social and economic disparity: - Two extreme ends of social strata are visible: English speaking, well- educated person and on the other hand poor people suffering from poverty, hunger and malnutrition. This clearly indicates the economic disparity among the Indian people.
    18. - Spirituality: Different positive and negative connotations are associated with Spirituality, Religion and Conservative traditions. India is thought of as a hub for spirituality and Yoga and attracts positive reactions from all over the world. The religious aspects are considered as semi-positive (or semi-negative) largely due to few incidents of communal disharmony. The traditional conservative Indians are perceived as backward and uneducated. - Casteism is considered as a serious blot on the face of humanity. The perception among foreign nationals about the caste system in India is that of old Varna System and they find it difficult for India to be freed from this problem in the near future. - High Growth rate: People across the world wonder how is it possible for a country like India with a huge unemployed, under nourished and poverty ridden population to grow at the rate of 9%. “People ask us with disbelief about our progress whenever we go abroad. They wonder how it is possible”. - Hardworking Indian: - Indians are generally perceived to be very hard working and determined people. It is widely believed that given the right opportunity and
    19. resources Indians are capable of handling any task. Indian youth that constitutes more than 50% of the population is perceived as the biggest strength of India and is assumed as the biggest growth driver in the future. - Politics and the politicians are considered as the curse for the country. Add to it, red-tapism, corruption, bureaucracy, nepotism and predilection and you have got the complete recipe of putting off any person-Indian or International. “India is a sea of corruption, dishonesty and lawlessness”. Various scams and scandals that have happened in India in the past are talked about in the other countries and brings a bad name to the country - Gender inequality is still a major issue especially in rural India. People of foreign origin clearly specified ill treatment of women as a part of Indian culture. “Aurat bahar kaise aa sakti hai, usko to humain lana padta hai”. This statement from a male villager indicates the existence of patriarchal society. It is an irony that in villages, India is perceived as Bharat Mata but at the same time women are continuously suppressed by the male dictators. - India Superpower: People across the globe believe that India would emerge as a superpower in the next few years. India would be recognized for its intellectual population, its contribution in the software industry, spirituality and yoga and a responsible nuclear power. India is perceived as a progressive nation that has built a solid platform and is about to take off. - When compared to China, India is perceived as a democratic, genuine and responsible country. “I would feel more’lost’ in China, too many people, more impersonal. India feels closer.” “Indians make me think deeply while communicating with them an’ it is very inspirational
    20. emotion. I have no attraction towards China or Chinese people.” It is agreed that there is a fair competition between India and China; however China has got a slight edge over India at this point of time. - Population: Although young Indian population is considered as an asset, International Forums such as United Nations and World Bank feel that because of the high population growth the benefit of the government initiatives is not percolating down to lower social strata. “Whatever progress India make, it is countered by the increase in population”.
    21. ANALYSIS OF SECONDARY RESEARCH
    22. RELEVANT FINDINGS FROM THE SECONARY RESEARCH - As per BBC Survey, Gandhi was the primary association that came to respondents’ minds when asked to choose the top three things they associate with India. Poverty scored particularly highly as a response for India among residents of Western European Countries (France, Germany, Spain, Italy and Denmark) and Brazil. Most respondents in the Asia Pacific countries like Singapore, Japan and Hong Kong voted for symbols associated with modern India like development and technology. Certain commonly associated symbols with contemporary India like cricket, Bollywood and outsourcing were selected only in markets such as the UK, USA and Australia. Asked to rank India from a global economic standpoint drew in some interesting responses from the respondents. Americans ranked India 10th from a global economic perspective, as did respondents in UK and Singapore. Rather surprisingly, Italians gave India a rank as low as 100 - an interesting result given that India’s chief of the ruling party - Sonia Gandhi - is of Italian origin.
    23. Half the respondents chose Hinduism as a predominant religion in India. Unexpectedly however, Buddhism ranked second as the principal religion in the country perhaps due to the increased media coverage and awareness in the West following, for example, Richard Gere’s public devotion to Buddhism. - India is considered as place where one can find a "more enlightened version" of oneself. It is considered as place where miracles can occur. “I was saved from drowning in a river by a rope, which could not be traced to a source when I reached land.” - Australians perceive India in a completely new light because of religio- cultural tourist trail of pilgrimages to India seeking spiritual enlightenment or adventure, relations forged by trade, Multi-national Corporations, and now the “academic traffic” between the two countries through ever increasing numbers of international students, Memoranda of Understanding, University exchange, writers’ programmes and so on. - The Americans today see India as a vibrant democracy with a booming economy. India manages disasters like the tsunami and earthquake, without demeaning itself by seeking foreign aid. The two million-strong American Indian community is respected as a group of high achievers. Cities like Bangalore, Hyderabad and Chennai are virtually household names as technology-savvy Indians manage American corporate accounts and online systems repairs.
    24. - The 2001 CIA report entitled “Global Trends 2015” held that while then India would continue to grow vibrantly, its neighbors like Sri Lanka, Bangladesh and Nepal would become increasingly integrated with the Indian economy and would face serious internal problems. - The country lays claim to diverse landscapes of beaches, Himalayan mountain, deserts and jungles. India has historic forts, temples, wildlife parks, religious festivals, a vibrant arts scene and of course, bustling cities. Yet the popular perception of travel in India is that it is for hardened travelers who can withstand discomfort, illness, distressing displays of poverty and general chaos. In a survey of Americans’ perceptions of India, the Chicago Council on Global Affairs found that those polled ranked India dead last among nine countries in terms of future world influence behind China, the UK, Russia and France. Other countries expect India to rise but not by much. Surprisingly, India is not seen as a top source of innovation. This despite the fact that India is the world’s second-fastest growing economy; that it is the second-most populous country in the world, with half of its inhabitants under the age of 25; and that its star home-grown businesses are emerging as world-class companies. The Chicago Council on Global Affairs attributed this sharp misperception partly to the influence of tourism. China reported 46.8m international tourist
    25. visits in 2005, far more than the meager 3.9m India claimed that year, according to the World Tourism Organization. - "Enemy Number One" was how India Defense Minister George Fernandes described China in May 1998, a few days before India shocked the world with a series of nuclear tests [1]. This was a disturbing reminder of the state of bilateral relations after a war in 1962 and several bloody border skirmishes in 1967, 1986 and 1987. [2] Cold relations between the two Asian giants, however, stand in the way of addressing major threats from common elements, such as foreign-sponsored terrorism in Kashmir and Xinjiang. Though largely ignored, there are other areas of aligned interest as India and China, among the fastest growing economies in the world, seek to enter a global trade environment where the rules have already been set. A radical rethink of each country's strategic focus is essential to address critical political, military and economic issues facing the two Asian giants in the 21st century. - "The change in nomenclature which rids India of a decades-old label comes from the United States Agency for International Development (USAID), which has decided to whittle down the already marginal US assistance to India and eventually eliminate it because of India's thriving economy." Overall aid to India, where 80 percent of the population lives on less than $2 a day, would be cut 35 percent in 2008, to $81 million, on the theory that India has one of the best-performing economies in the world. - The medical tourism market is estimated to be worth around $333 million now, but officials hope that the new campaign will help increase this to $2 billion by 2012.
    26. - Within the health care sector, however, there is a realization that this will remain an optimistic aspiration until India transforms its infrastructure. Although there are a growing number of private hospitals with good facilities and staff, the standard of care across the health service remains very unpredictable - US stand on Nuclear Deal:
    27. Offshore outsourcing -- firms subcontracting important parts of their businesses to firms in other countries -- are changing the nature of global business. In India, outsourcing has sparked an economic boom, and those working in the industry are making new lives that balance traditional Indian family values with Western-style social and economic mores. But in India, as in the United States, the long-term impact of outsourcing is still unclear. The slowdown in agricultural growth has become a major cause for concern. India’s rice yields are one-third of China’s and about half of those in Vietnam and Indonesia. With the exception of sugarcane, potato and tea, the same is true for most other agricultural commodities. The Government of India places high priority on reducing poverty by raising agricultural productivity. However, bold action from policymakers will be required to shift away from the existing subsidy-based regime that is no longer sustainable, to build a solid foundation for a highly productive, internationally competitive, and diversified agricultural sector. Recent data suggests there are signs of a decline in HIV prevalence among sex workers in areas where focused interventions have been implemented,
    28. particularly in the southern states although overall prevalence levels among this group continues to be high. Data also indicate that there is a slow decrease in HIV prevalence among the general population in southern states. Although more analysis is required, this probably means that the number of people becoming newly infected with HIV is decreasing. This decrease is more perceptible in states such as Tamil Nadu where the intensity of HIV prevention efforts has been high. - India’s urban areas make a major contribution to the country’s economy. Although less than 1/3 of India’s people live in cities and towns, these areas generate over 2/3 of the country’s GDP and account for 90% of government revenues. India’s towns and cities have expanded rapidly as increasing numbers migrate to towns and cities in search of economic opportunity. Slums now account for 1/4 of all urban housing. In Mumbai, more than half the population lives in slums, many of which are situated near employment centers in the heart of town, unlike in most other cities in developing countries. - World Bank’s comparison of India and China: India- India- China- China- Measure 1996 2005 1996 2005 Voice and accountability 52.2 58.2 4.6 4.8 Political stability 14.9 22.1 34.6 33.2 Government 50.7 54.0 66.8 55.5 effectiveness Regulatory quality 44.4 48.3 54.1 46.3 Rule of law 61.0 57.1 48.1 45.2 Control of corruption 40.3 52.9 56.3 37.9 Simple average 43.9 48.8 44.1 37.2

    32. BRANDING INDIA
    33. How do people imagine India as a person? (From primary research) “India is a girl, comes from a poor background but has toiled her way through, though may be she is not well educated she is knowledgable and through her efforts has reached a stage from where she can make a good career for herself and help her family grow” “A middle aged village lady – a lil shy, not outgoing, hardworking” “a girl 21, volunteer, attached to her family” “Young, Female, Varied choices , lifestyle- free and independent, character- high moral values, behaviour- ethical” “A very lively lady with most of the essential skill sets, most of them polished, some of them unpolished, experimenting with various opportunities” “Young, Female, Varied choices , lifestyle- free and independent, character- high moral values, behaviour- ethical” Most of our respondents saw India as a responsible girl / woman who has come from a poor background but is rising her life through her hard work and determination. We want to project an image of a beautiful young nation which is working hard to achieve those dreams that the freedom fighters saw for India. There are problems like corruption, casteism, terrorism, etc. She does not deny these but is working constructively to resolve them. These problems do not stop her aspirations to rise and be respected in the world so as to get her homeland the respect and admiration they are so worthy of. This India is a land of opportunities, open to experiments, ready to mingle with the world to
    34. build a better tomorrow for the coming generations. From these our Brand Vision, Branding Idea, Brand positioning statement and Advertising Positioning statement given below have emerged Brand Vision: India Everywhere Our vision for brand India is to achieve a status where it is pretty much omnipresent. As in nothing in the world happens without considering the opinion of India / Indians. Branding Idea: The New Dawn There are problems within India, which have been mentioned earlier. But there are a lot of positives too. The best of all is the new found confidence among Indians that they are as good as the rest or even better in many areas. There is an acceptance of the Indian capability among the foreign nationals too. The new dawn symbolizes to the world a changed nation that is homely, peace loving, clean and developed welcoming the international audience to visit India for leisure and is out to prove its worth to global opportunities coming its way. This convey to the Indians that we have arrived and we need to keep up the good work done by the earlier generations to sustain the current growth of India in terms of economics and power. Our thought is to make this an idea that people would like to be associated with, such that India does not have to spend heavily on mass media to convey this message. An idea that would be lapped up by the man on the street to the corporate who would use this in their advertising campaigns. A complete integrated communication plan for this would be provided in Round 2 by our team.
    35. Brand Positioning Statement: India International India here stands for things that are considered truly Indian by people within the country and outside. It stands for India’s diversity, spirituality, yoga, colourfullness, family values, loving people, etc. While international stands for the best standards in the world be it science or literature or economy. This positioning statement is in sync with the Brand Vision of India. Advertising Positioning Statement Join us in the journey A call to all the classes identified earlier be a part of this new interesting, exciting and challenging journey.
