At the Indo-Japan Conclave, Dr. Sandeep Goyal stressed that foreign brands must deeply understand India's diverse cultural and emotional landscape, adapting strategies to local nuances rather than applying uniform approaches. Both perspectives underscore the importance of aligning brand growth with cultural assimilation and long-term resonance in India's varied markets.
