Available for over a year

As the global economy slows down, people's purchasing power is taking a hit. The International Monetary Fund has forecast that the global economy will grow at just 3% this year - the slowest since the recession of 2008-09. India's central bank too says that consumer confidence has dipped to a six-year low in the country. According to experts, consumer confidence is like an oil tanker - once moved, it can take a very long time to turn around. So, how significant are the current consumer trends? And what can be done to revive consumer confidence? #WorklifeIndia discusses the best ways to create fresh demand and asks what some of the innovative measures are to reform the market and to boost consumer confidence.
