With leading international brands recognizing India’s potential and increasing their footprint in the country’s market, affluent consumer bases have taken a colossal interest in this lifestyle.
India’s upper middle class and wealthy individuals have been expanding fast. With their increasing disposable income, many Indians aspire to a luxurious lifestyle, which generates demand for high-end products and experiences.
To a large section of the Indian audience, aspirational or luxurious things tend to denote success. Possessing high-end and exclusive products or indulging in premium experiences is most often considered a reflection of one's hard work. This deep-rooted association between luxury and personal success fuels the desire for such lifestyles, as consumers seek to showcase their achievements through the brands they choose.
On top of that, luxury lifestyle influencers’ portrayal of such lifestyles influences affluent consumers to experience them. They introduce global fashion, beauty, and lifestyle trends to the Indian audience, influencing the country’s consumer behaviour.
Not to mention the degree of impact they possess, as they also provide educational content and offer deep insights into the value and quality of luxury products, helping audiences make confident, quality purchases.
For instance, Cottons and Satins, a luxury home decor brand, partnered with Tarini Manchanda, one of the leading luxury lifestyle influencers in India, for a lively pre-Diwali campaign. The core of the campaign reel was to showcase glimpses of how the brand’s products, like the bedposts, cushions, bedding, blinds, and lampshades, transformed Tarini’s bedroom with a colourful and festive touch. Through her creativity and elegance, Tarini successfully delivered the brand message in a way that connected with her audience, making it a success for the brand.
For that matter, our leading influencer marketing agency in India has put up a list of the top luxury lifestyle influencers in India for luxury brands to partner with and propel their growth.
