ICMR conducted a research on the brands based on their consumption patterns over the years as well as cult following. A survey was initiated by preparing a list of 20,000 brands across India under 40 different categories and 92 sub-categories. In the initial list, 10,000 brands were short-listed based on their reach, availability, demand and growth. In the second stage, a review was done to list the top 1,000 brands, based on the parameters of brand recall and brand perception. The parameters focused on the high recall value and other factors such as brand following and brand connect, garnered via various marketing activities conducted by organisations to promote their brand.

Thereafter, a consumer survey was conducted among a sample size of 11,000 consumers in 22 cities pan-India including Delhi, Mumbai, Kolkata, Bengaluru, Chennai, Hyderabad, Ahmedabad, Pune, Jaipur and Chandigarh. Finally, the list of top 100 brands emerged which includes Lux, Cadbury Dairy Milk, CNN-IBN, Van Heusen including Dr Batra's and many more.
