When a company has many brands in its kitty and customers start getting confused among the brands in terms of differentiation, quality and image, then it makes sense to contract your portfolio and focus its resources on few brands which are leader in their category. After all, resources are scarce. This strategy is known as power branding. This strategy was implemented by HUL in early 2000. Although this was very successful all over the globe, it failed in India. This paper is an attempt to understand this strategy in detail and also aims to uncover the reasons why this strategy didn't bear the expected results in India.Keywords

Indian economy's digital statistics are showing impressive trends from past few years. We have approximately 243 million internet users in our country. There's enough development in devices, internet networks, operating systems, processors and operator strategies to suggest that India is on track to resolving the challenge of affordable, easy and faster internet access. The average price of smart phones that deliver much richer content, including video, is falling rapidly as the customer base is growing. This digital revolution has not left the Indian car market untouched and it is affecting the consumer behaviour to a significant extent from awareness, evaluation, final buying to the post purchase-stage.
This paper aims to find the most preferred digital channel to target the customers while they buy a car. Paper also uncovers the demographic profile, background information and preferences of the people who use digital channels for buying or ordering online. Along with these objectives the paper attempts to understand the impact of digital marketing practices followed by car marketers on Indian consumers living in Delhi and NCR. To achieve these pre-decided objectives, primary data was collected with the help of structured questionnaires. The questionnaire was administered to the car owners residing in Delhi and NCR area. Data was analyzed with the help of statistical techniques like chi-square and t-test. The findings are presented in a summarized manner for understanding digital consumer behaviour.
