Analysed 25 Aug 2026·2 sources analysed·India·Business
AI Enhances Festive Shopping for Indian Brands and ConsumersPreviousNext

Indian direct-to-consumer brands and consumers are increasingly using artificial intelligence (AI) to enhance festive shopping experiences. Brands like Sirona Hygiene and SleepyCat employ AI to predict demand, optimize inventory, and tailor product offerings regionally during festivals such as Navratri and Diwali. Meanwhile, consumers are turning to AI-driven platforms for personalized gift recommendations during Raksha Bandhan, with studies showing high confidence and faster decision-making through AI assistance. This shift reflects growing adoption of AI across both retail strategies and consumer behaviors in India’s festive market.
