WPP-owned agency, VML Qais, says in its latest study that 75 per cent of 36-60 year-olds and 70 per cent of 18-35 year-olds in India fear the ongoing erosion of traditional values. GenAsia is a consumer attitudinal study on connected Asians, and spanned 2,000 respondents in Mumbai, Delhi, Hyderabad, Bengaluru and Chandigarh.
