CouponDunia, one of India's most popular coupon websites, has released a half-yearly report titled "Decoding Metro Shoppers'. The report, highlighting consumer shopping preferences and coupon redemption patterns of CouponDunia users in Mumbai, Delhi and Bengaluru from January to June 2015, is part of the 'How India Shops' series. It unveils insights around choice of brands, device, categories etc., along with a geographical comparison of the patterns across the three cities.

Ankita Tandon, COO, CouponDunia, says, "2015's half-yearly analysis emphasises on how shoppers are embracing discount coupons and deals as part of their lifestyle to derive more value out of their shopping experiences. In this analysis, we found that the shoppers use mobile more than any other device to access discount coupons. Shoppers in these three cities are using coupons extensively during weekends. With these trends, slowly and steadily, we are heading towards our goal of inculcating the 'habit of saving' in every Indian shopper."
