how are the next 100 markets different from the large 8-10 metros and million plus cities? The answer is, of course, very different. The reason has to do with the character of India’s cities. Before I expand on that let me first brief you on how cities have evolved. (for those of you not interested in history, just bear for a couple of minutes).
Almost all major Indian cities are close to large water bodies and located on a trade route. Delhi, Mumbai, Kolkata, Indore, Pune, Jodhpur, Coimbatore, Trivandrum etc. etc. all were some type of trading centres. If we go back in history we find that each of these cities specialized in one of two types of economic activities in their initial phase of growth – whether they were manufactured items, agri commodities, or even services. They were quite specialized at some point. But as a city grew larger and larger, gradually more and more activities got added to the cities’ portfolio. In other words, as a city grew larger and larger, it became less and less specialized. Conversely some cities grew smaller and smaller, and they became more and more specialized.
This is of course a generalization, and there are many idiosyncracies built-in each city. But it helps us a lot in trying to figure how smaller cities are different.
The largest Metros are the least specialized; conversely they have the most heterogenous consumers. And so they are by far the easiest to service because they have enough numbers of all types of consumers. The probability of not finding enough demand is therefore lowest in the larger cities. And for this very reason these cities are the first point of entry for most marketers. This makes them highly competitive markets. In other words, the demand is there, but so is the competition.
