YouGov India General Manager Deepa Bhatia said “India’s Biggest Brand Movers highlights the brands that have registered the most statistically significant month-on-month upticks in consumer perception metrics. SonyLIV saw improvements in 10 out of 13 brand metrics. The recent live streaming of UEFA Champions League 22–23 semi-final matches, along with the news of the Zee-Sony merger moving closer, may have added to the positive chatter around SonyLIV’s robust library of diverse content, making it the top mover this month.”
