We will be tackling the rural market from a sales and marketing perspective, uncovering innovative marketing and business strategies that companies can adopt to market their products to the rural sector.

• understanding the rural institutions of retailer, haats and melas (rural markets and fairs) and their impact on corporate marketing planning.
