YouGov’s latest survey revealed that people have a higher intent to shop this Diwali as compared to last. 59% of urban consumers said that they will shop this Diwali as compared to only 39% who will shop during big online sales, and it is the men who will be more likely to shop on Diwali than women (62% vs 55%).
