India is shifting to a new way of purchasing things. The way people buy has changed drastically over the past decade. Today, consumers have a new set of expectations from the ownership experience. They want easy and instant access to products and services. This has led many businesses to adapt to the paradigm shift. And, the result is – The Emerging Subscription Economy.

At its core, the subscription is about the ease of owning or buying. So, how does subscription works? The customers consume and pay for a product or service on a recurring basis, and businesses deliver and bill for these recurring services. It’s that easy!

Let’s explore what all can you can get as a subscription in India. Read on.
