Conclusion
India is big country. Population is more than 100 corers.

Thus the Indian consumer market is absolutely unsaturated

in all fields. Creating segmentation is also neo thoughts
here. Although some segmentation process on the basis of
geographic or demographic are done here. But the
psychographic segmentation especially VALS is a rare story
in this market. All the previous case studies are showing the
some unstructured model of segmentation. But even with
that model companies are gaining some profit and they
become role model for others. So if company can implement
the segmentation process in a scientific way they can earn
more profit and may be the pioneer in their field. VALS
psychographic segmentation process brought a lot of
success in develop countries, and it is also expected that
psychographic segmentation process can create history in
India.
