India's Buzziest Brands Listed: Top 11 Tech Brands We Cant Stop Talking About

In its eighth year now, India's Buzziest Brands is one of the oldest, uninterrupted public polls in the advertising and marketing space. It has been conducted every year, without a break. In doing so, it has managed to capture how the nature of buzz has changed.

For the uninitiated, buzz takes place when consumers voluntarily talk about brands and only few brands achieve this. Even when brands do create buzz, consumer interest does not last for long. This is one of the reasons for brands to constantly vanish from the list of India's Buzziest Brands.

It is important to note that though many names have come in this report since 2006, only 15 of them have managed to make their way into the list every year. This year, there is a significant difference in the India's Buzziest Brands list and it even shows the growth and penetration of tech. Afaqs has posted the ranking of India's Buzziest Brands of 2013.

So far, in the seven editions of the marketing survey, the top spot has been occupied by only two brands - Airtel in 2006-2009 and in 2012, that is for five times. The other two years the telco was pushed aside by the social networking firm Facebook. However, in the eight edition of the survey, Samsung has managed to topple the list of India's Buzziest Brands.
