These consumers, especially from Tier 4+ cities, are frequent repeat buyers, particularly in categories like women's fashion, footwear, and baby care. Gen Zs appear to be the fastest-growing demographic in India, with one in three shoppers under the age of 25, as per the report. Additionally, vernacular languages and voice search have seen a surge raising the demand for adoption of regional languages and and support more user friendly search methods.
