Preetha Athrey, Director and Global Business Marketing of Twitter APAC, said, "People on Twitter are influential, receptive, and drive results like nowhere else, and Tweets give us signals where the culture is headed or what could be the next big Ah! movements that are shaped by public conversation. Twitter, as a driver of both trends and real-world change, has evolved as a service that not only provides people a space to connect but a window into the culture. The Twitter Trends Report captures the themes and interests that are shaping consumer behavior in the Indian market, and outlines top trends for brands to lean into to become a part of conversations that are happening right now, and will continue to grow."
