Methodology & notes
Advertiser counts are drawn from industry-standard ad monitoring; channels are ranked by the number of distinct advertisers tracked, not by rupees. Full methodology →
Coverage: these figures reflect the advertising we were able to track across our data sources, a large sample but not every ad placed in India. Treat them as a directional, relative picture, not an absolute or complete record.
