Industry Overview

India is a critical market for Japanese businesses, especially in automotive, electronics, infrastructure, and B2B manufacturing. However, India’s media ecosystem is fragmented, fast-paced, and linguistically diverse.

22 official languages
, hundreds of regional dialects
100,000+ newspapers and magazines
TV news in dozens of regional languages
Social media dominated by regional content and hashtags

Understanding and interpreting Indian media—especially beyond English—is crucial to success.

Common Challenges

Language Diversity
Most news and discussions happen in Hindi, Tamil, Telugu, Bengali, and other Indian languages—often inaccessible to Japanese teams.


Reputation and Policy Risks
Unseen media narratives in regional outlets can escalate into PR or regulatory challenges.


Missed Opportunities
Insights into local market demand, sentiment shifts, or new tenders are lost without local media visibility.


Coordination Gaps
Regional teams lack a centralised media intelligence solution, making it hard to act quickly.
