It is true that many times the best sample size for a market research activity is ‘1’, but can we really do that when we choose media? [...]
I am taking reference to the Tamil Nadu Market for this post. Although I am not sure how many readers of this blog belong to this part of the world. But I believe there is a fundamental lesson waiting to be learnt from some very astute marketers.

To begin with wish you all a very Happy Independence Day.
Many entities which have started much after the independence of the country have made it big and have gone international. But from a brand perspective, I just wanted to review where India Stands.
