All kinds of brands available in India (38,756) were considered and a list of 1057 brands was short listed based on the growth, reach, demand and availability (in at least the 4 metros) in India through various secondary sources and company websites.

Moreover, as per the list given alongside 44 broad categories with 38 sub categories were taken into consideration.
