N. Chandramouli, CEO, TRA Research, said on the launch of the report, “The two Covid years have created many upsets and the consumer’s preferences and perceptions have substantially changed. Consumer Desire is the most important measure of the keenness of a consumer on a brand because it measures the deep-rooted psycho-socio-cultural pulls in a consumer’s mind. Desire is so deep rooted that it is usually difficult to alter, but many brands have used the Covid years very well by creating new bonds with consumers.”
