Methodology:

'Brands with the biggest Word-of-Mouth surge' highlights top ten brands that experienced the highest increase in Word-of-Mouth exposure scores in India every month. The scores are based on responses to the question: ‘Which of the following brands have you talked about with friends and family in the past two weeks (whether in-person, online, or through social media)?’ The data was collected from surveys of adults aged 18 years and above residing in India between 1st and 30th October 2024. Word of Mouth scores were calculated using a four-week moving average, and the change in scores for each brand was determined by comparing the highest and lowest scoring days within that period.
