Audience Segmentation
MILLENIALS
We have seen consistent growth among 18-25 year-olds. South Asian millennials bring the East-West mix in their purchasing and brand choices.
GENERATION X
With the new hybrid model, we have added another growing demographic into our audience base. Studies show that this category spends more than millennials on wants and were the early adopters of technology. Uniquely, this generation spends more on brands to gift to a younger demographic.
YOUNG PROFESSIONALS
We have had an increase in attendance and following from this category over 14 years. For many young professionals and families, DESIFEST is the perfect brand that is inclusive.
