ResearchSelection Process

India’s Best Brand of the Year research & survey methodology discovers what brands consumers trust the most and find the best in their respective industry category based upon the quality, features, pricing, discounts, after-sales service & reputation, etc.

The study was conducted by Berkshire Media, USA, a company specializing in market research & brand surveys. The rigorous survey techniques and research strategies of Berkshire Media uncover insights that decode the consumer mindset and reveal what drives purchase decisions and trust.

The entire research platform was divided into the following levels:-

The list of brands was prepared using existing listings, rankings, other research reports, and available sources.

A consumer survey was conducted on these 500 brands where the consumers were asked to vote for the brands they find BEST in that particular industry segment and at the same time survey questionnaire further requested the respondents to give their valuable feedback on the quality, features, pricing, discounts, after-sales service & reputation of the brand, followed by a trust rating by the consumers for the brands they voted for. The Berkshire Media research team took the parameters mentioned above into consideration to shortlist the highest voted 200 brands to reflect the consumer’s choice best.
