Indias economy will have a services underpinning over the next 10 years
Real Growth (%) p.a. of main sectors of the economy (5year averages)
8.0 6.0 4.0 2.0
Indias economy is predominantly a service economy. 60% of the GDP is service driven, such as financial, insurance, real estate, community social and personal services However, Indias manufacturing sector is developing and India topped developing countries (China excluded) in production of textiles, chemicals, basic metals, general machinery and equipment, and electrical machinery in 2010. Though India is growing relatively slower than China, its domestic consumption-driven economy has proven to be both robust and well insulated against global events Indias domestic consumption alone contributes to over 75% of GDP. This is one of the highest among the developing economies.

Each segment is influenced heavily by media and mobile telephony and require an aspirational value proposition to connect with them
Aspiration Tradeoffs
Increased media and telephony availability, and rise of aspirations are catalyzing Demand that seeks to change their lifestyles but in different ways
Segment Profile* Largely in rural areas or smaller towns, can fulfill middle class aspirations Mindset Reasonable disposable income, very similar needs to middle Aspirations
1. Settled
2. Climbers
3. Migrants
Born in rural areas, want to/have migrated to urban areas, little aspiration
All three categories are looking for products and services that go beyond low cost they need to connect with their deeper needs

A number of companies have positioned their products or services as aspirational, to penetrate this market
Aspiration Tradeoffs
Titan Sonata: Sonata was launched by Titan as a brand that was for the Titan inclined but who could not afford it These were low-priced stylish watches which appealed to the youth Titan marketed it innovatively by using MS Dhoni as its brand ambassador as he was a small town boy who made it big in international cricket
Micromax mobiles: Micromax mobiles were an instant hit primarily because of their stylish designs at low prices It was the first company to launch an android phone for INR 6,000 for the masses

Within these three segments, aspirations of youth are particularly important; youth is not a segment - it is mainstream
Aspiration Tradeoffs

The rural youth segment comprises the largest single area for growth, as it is both aspirational and looking for change. They thrive on discontinuity and have no strings attached to the historical baggage of India The 25-45 yr segment remains important as a generation that is sandwiched and is at cross roads with its aspirations, juggling traditional and modern aspirations. They are characterized by credit/debit living The 45 -65 yr generation is holding on to traditional values, but has realized that they cannot hold back their mindset to prosper in todays India. They tend to have a high regard for functionality, and look to the community as a propellant for gaining information and respect

Alam is from Asamsul village in West Bengal (eastern India). Like many of his peers, he moved to Bombay for a better life. While Alam earns more than his peers, and has a family home in Mumbai (which means no rent), Alam does not save. ...all I want to do is to ensure that my children have a better future... Alams thoughts are consumed by trying to provide his children a quality education, so that they dont have to make tradeoffs (he calls tradeoffs adjustments). He spends about 40% of his income for his childrens education, at a better school than his peers send their children. Alam has also paid capitation feeds, to the local school board, amounting worth 2-months of his income to get his children admitted. This is his reality.
Alams family will save on day-to-day expenses (ex: bus instead of train, walk instead of bus) to cope with rising food prices and save for a bigger purchase. Alam is still optimistic he sees the value in purchasing durables fridge, TV and mobile phone for his family. To finance these investments, he prefers paying the local loan shark he uses the hindi slang dalal an EMI (3 5%) for loans collateralized with his wifes jewellery, while some of his peers pay 15 20% to legitimate banks.
Alam wants to move back to his village, but says it is unlikely due to the poor infrastructure in his village.

Bajaj Direct Cash Collection introduced a relevant financing mechanism to a cash strapped segment
Smart Case Reach study
Bajaj Auto Finance realised the poor banking access in rural India, and devised a Direct Cash Collection Model to enable easy financing of its bikes, which translated in low default rate
Bajaj Auto Finance suffered INR 400-500 Cr of bad losses and realized that this customer segment was cash strapped and moreover, had no access to formal credit documentation ASC owner is a local entrepreneur from the community who is responsible for being an informal judge of credit-worthiness of the buyer. The ASC are also empowered to let people default, based on their knowledge of the situation of the financee.
Authorized service centres (ASCs) Bajaj enabled vehicle loans for the customers through these ASCs Customers could pay their loan instalments in these ASCs, where they would be handed a receipt on payment
Customers
Out of 50,000 loans issued by Bajaj Auto Finance every month, currently 50% are issued through DCCM. Approximately 40% of the customers pay their instalments before the due date. Default is now sub 1% (aerial) and loss has reduced significantly (2-3%).

Godrej designed Chotukool A completely reengineered refrigerator with key features critical for the mass market
Case study New value propositions Introduced a mini refrigerator suitable for needs of Emerging middle India What job is the consumer trying to do? Godrej understood that Emerging middle India, and its poorer consumer pool does not buy food in bulk, but just needs to keep food cold over night The ChotuKool is a smaller refrigerator, 1.5 feet tall by 2 feet wide, catering to smaller living space (especially for urban emerging middle Indian segment. Ex: Migrants) Product snapshot
Mass customization: Smart reduction in feature set and price-position sweet-spot, while meeting latent needs of the Emerging middle Product reengineering: Godrej reduced the components from 200 in a regular refrigerator to 20, to reduce the price to $70 less than one third of the price of a regular bottom-of-the-line fridge. It also consumes only half the power so it keeps electricity bills economical for poor families. Cost savings for the consumer: Instead of compressor, it runs on a cooling chip and fan similar to those used to cool computers. It can survive power surges and outages common in India and even has the option of running on batteries. It uses high-end insulation to stay cool for hours without power.

Tata low cost Housing focused on providing quality AND affordable housing solutions using disruptive technology
Case study
Tata Housing
Innovative business model/new ways of working Product snapshot
These low-cost houses will be made available in the form of prefabricated (prefab) kits, which can be assembled at the site.
Completing project on time within 15 months is another significant area of cost reduction for the project
Cost reduction achieved by using cheaper, however, more durable construction material No bricks are used and walls are made wholly of cement, which makes them much stronger and also maintenance-free, lowering long-term costs for the residents. These homes would have a significant amount of non-steel components for wall cladding and other interiors. Rooms are designed in such a manner that tiles can be fitted without being broken. This led to a construction cost of Rs. 650 Rs. 700 per sq. ft Cost of construction was reduced by building the flats outside big cities, where land is much cheaper. Marketing usually makes up 3-4% of costs for a housing project. This cost was reduced significantly by eliminating the sales function where, the marketing team took over and worked on advertising campaigns. Business benefits/value delivered
The margins in this model have been close to 15-20%, compared to 40% in conventional housing segment.
Tata plans to expand the model to Delhi and Bangalore. Apart from the open market opportunity, the company is also pinning hopes on the mass housing schemes taken up by various state governments for its houses.

The global emerging middle class offers a robust growth horizon but needs different strategies for profitable growth
The world is split into four categories with the next 4 Bn residing in countries that are large, growing fast and having largely underpenetrated markets, India with 1.2 billion citizens is a significant segment In the Indian context, the emerging middle class with 570 million people by 2021 will constitute a trillion dollar economy, and see a significant number churn through this segment. In the global context, the Global Emerging Middle (GEM) comprises over 2.3 billion people and over the coming decade is expected to be a $6 Trillion economy The Emerging Middle class in India is significantly youth oriented, and rural in its composition but is aspiring for change, given the strong connectivity and communication with the rest of India. Across the 5 sectors analyzed by this study, we see three areas where leaders have focused to succeed in this market place: New Value Propositions, Innovative Business Models, and Shift in Mindset. Successful companies create new value propositions which focus on Aspiration Tradeoffs, Beyond Cost Position and Mass Customization Those companies that are able to successfully address this segment create strategic capabilities that allow it to address the upper segments as well as other countries with similar emerging middle classes
Professionals entering this market have the opportunity to work on new challenges across areas of marketing, operations, finance, human capital and technology
