Overview
The role of social media in digital marketing is diverse. From interacting with the target
market and raising awareness to business growth and customer service, the role of
social media is profound. It gives your business a more human identity and connect
with audience on a personal level.
However, the way Indian businesses use social media is still in its nascent stage.
While big businesses are still adopting, startups somehow have grabbed the
opportunity well to connect with their audience. Not to mention it offers a costeffective advertising option.
We tried to quantify the results of these efforts using our In-house Social Media
Analysis tool. This report publishes its ndings.
Since each startup is ghting the battle of customer attention with its own competitors,
we have segmented the startups in 13 categories:

The primary reason for ByJu's and Simlilearn topping the total engagement chart is
their videos which garnered them higher engagement.
Edtech startups were not as focused on social media conversations as startups from
other segment. Even Simplilearn, which was most active on social media, did not try to
create social media conversations.
Hyperlocal E-commerce
This is one of the segment where video engagement was most evenly distributed
except for a patch of 15 days from Aug 17, 2016 to Sept 3, 2016.
