The primary objective of this study was to provide insights into the dynamics of news consumption behavior in India and its implications for news and social media companies. By understanding the preferences, habits, and motivations of consumers regarding news consumption, companies can optimize their strategies to better cater to their target audience.

This highlights the importance of news in the daily lives of individuals, whether through traditional mediums like TV and radio or modern platforms like social media. The data also showed that 45.7% of respondents consumed news to have topics for discussion, indicating the social aspect of news consumption.
