Before we started on the journey of creating this report, we went through resources which were available on MarTech (India) and realised that more focus is given on broader topics like digital marketing. During our discussions with industry associations, experts and vendors from MAS space, we observed lack of information on the adoption of Marketing Automation Solutions (MAS) in India, specifically for the B2C market.

Objective of this report is to understand the adoption of MAS in Indian B2C organisations, identify most commonly used features, drivers and restraints. Share insights on Pricing Models, ROI Measurement & Challenges while implementing MAS. And help B2C marketers make the right decision while evaluating and implementing MAS in their organizations.

During the research, it was exciting to find that the trend of Marketing Automation is swiftly picking up in India. The way it is growing we are sure that in couple of years India will be on the same platform as US in terms of usage of technology in Marketing. Indian market is at an early majority stage of adoption and we observed high level of awareness on the need and benefits of MAS amongst Indian B2C Marketers.
