How multiple-income family types differ across cities
As India and Indian consumers change rapidly, there is one churn that has already played out in urban India. The joint family is dead and the extended family is dying. It is now the era of nuclear families.
Households in India can be classified into three types: nuclear families where one married couple lives with, in some cases, unmarried siblings; extended families which have more than one married couple from different generations; and joint families where more than one married couple of the same generation live together, which are essentially multi-income families.
That the joint family system is out of mode in urban India is clear from the fact that only 8% of the households belong to this category in India’s top 112 cities. Nuclear households dominate the urban landscape with almost 70% of households falling in this category, while extended families take up the remaining 23%, a sizeable share. This reflects, to some extent, the lack of housing capacity to accommodate nuclear families, a status that upwardly mobile urban Indians seem to aspire to.

India Beyond the Metros
Opening Address at 101 Markets
how are the next 100 markets different from the large
8-10 metros and million plus cities? The answer is, of
course, very different.
Almost all major Indian cities are close to large water
bodies and located on a trade route. Delhi, Mumbai,
Kolkata, Indore, Pune, Jodhpur, Coimbatore, Trivandrum
etc. etc. all were some type of trading centres. If we go
back in history we find that each of these cities specialized
in one of two types of economic activities in their initial
phase of growth – whether they were manufactured
items, agri commodities, or even services. They were
quite specialized at some point. But as a city grew larger
and larger, gradually more and more activities got added
to the cities’ portfolio. In other words, as a city grew
larger and larger, it became less and less specialized.
Conversely some cities grew smaller and smaller, and
they became more and more specialized.
This is of course a generalization, and there are many
idiosyncracies built-in each city. But it helps us a lot in
trying to figure how smaller cities are different.

The largest Metros are the least specialized; conversely
they have the most heterogenous consumers. And so
they are by far the easiest to service because they have
enough numbers of all types of consumers. The
probability of not finding enough demand is therefore
lowest in the larger cities. And for this very reason these
cities are the first point of entry for most marketers. This
makes them highly competitive markets. In other words,
the demand is there, but so is the competition. …….. more
