The survey was conducted on 10,000 people across the US, the UK, India and China.
While people like to surf and find information, it noted that 41 per cent of people in India trust online reviews and 80 per cent of the people in India like technology and apps to automatically filter information for them in handling information overload.
It also found that India with a high percentage of millennials looked for the best deals, driven by discount and cashback.
While observing that the government's push to drive digital payments and digital transactions is leapfrogging, it noted that cash still plays a vital role in the payment mechanism.
Almost 68 per cent of the total wallet share in India is spent on necessities rather than luxuries, it added.
It found that consumers in the country are likely to cut down on their expenses on travel, dining and clothing if their disposable income reduces.
