ACKNOWLEDGEMENT
The study revealed that Kia Motors effectively connects with a younger demographic,
with 60% of participants under the age of 35 actively engaging with the brand.
Gender representation is balanced, with 51% male and 49% female participants,
underscoring Kia’s appeal across a broad audience. The majority of respondents are
either working professionals, students, or business owners, demonstrating the brand’s
relevance across various occupational segments.
Kia’s digital marketing strategies have yielded positive results, with 49% of
respondents learning about the brand through social media platforms such as
Facebook and Instagram. Furthermore, 72.4% of users frequently engage with Kia’s
official website, primarily utilizing features like vehicle information, service
appointment scheduling, and test drive bookings. However, engagement on platforms
like LinkedIn and YouTube remains comparatively low, indicating room for growth.
User feedback highlighted areas of excellence, such as ease of navigation and visual
appeal, which received high satisfaction ratings. Nonetheless, aspects like post
frequency and engagement opportunities were rated average, suggesting the need for
more interactive and captivating content. Additionally, 47.86% of website visitors
leave without interacting, and the average session duration is just 0.52 seconds,
pointing to potential issues in user experience and content relevance.
Secondary data analysis reinforced the findings, revealing a slight decline in website
visits over three months, alongside a bounce rate of nearly 48%. However, metrics
like showroom OSAT (Overall Satisfaction) and NPS (Net Promoter Score) displayed
consistent improvement, signaling growing customer trust and satisfaction.
By implementing these strategies, Kia Motors Anand can solidify its position as a
leader in digital innovation, strengthen customer relationships, and drive long-term
growth in the competitive automotive sector.

INTRODUCTION
Industry Overview
India's car market has been steadily expanding and is predicted to reach a compound
annual growth rate (CAGR) of 9.7% between 2023 and 2030. By that time, it is
anticipated that the country would have produced more than 8.36 million vehicles.
This growth has been made possible in large part by government backing. Programs
like the Automotive Mission Plan seek to treble the industry's revenue, add almost 65
million jobs, and raise its GDP contribution to 12%. Furthermore, laws supporting
electric cars (EVs) are encouraging a change to more environmentally friendly modes
of transportation. By 2025, the Indian EV industry is expected to be worth $7 billion,
with the potential to generate 50 million employment by 2030.
The sector confronts obstacles such shifting customer tastes, supply chain
interruptions, and environmental issues despite its encouraging trajectory.
Nonetheless, these difficulties provide chances for creativity and adjustment. The
industry is changing quickly to satisfy customer demands while putting sustainability
first because to rising demand for SUVs, shared mobility options, and green
technology. India is now a vital link in the global supply chain, drawing substantial
investment and technical breakthroughs because to the automobile industry's tenacity
and expanding local market.
Seasonal fluctuations and frequent rains caused a 1.8% drop in automobile sales to
dealers in the July–September 2024 quarter, although the October–December quarter's
holiday season is predicted to increase demand. The future of the Indian automotive
sector is bright as long as companies and consumers support environmentally friendly
and cutting-edge mobility solutions. All things considered, this industry remains a
vital component of India's economic expansion, innovation, and advancement.
COMPANY PROFILE
KIA MOTORS

automotive manufacturers and an integral part of the Hyundai Motor Group. With a
strong global footprint across more than 190 countries, Kia has evolved into a highly
innovative brand synonymous with cutting-edge design, advanced technology, and
sustainable practices. The company strives to deliver world-class vehicles while
steering toward a future marked by eco-friendly and connected mobility solutions.
Corporate Profile
Kia Motors offers a diverse range of vehicles, from compact sedans and SUVs to
electric and hybrid options, balancing quality, affordability, and cutting-edge features.
The company’s design philosophy, encapsulated in its “Opposites United” approach,
harmonizes natural elements with technological advancements to create vehicles that
resonate with modern consumers.
Key Highlights:
The company has received numerous accolades for its innovation, reliability, and
customer satisfaction, establishing it as a global leader in the automotive sector.
In the digital age, Kia Motors has embraced online platforms to strengthen its
connection with customers. The company has implemented comprehensive digital
strategies, including interactive websites, mobile applications, and robust social media
engagement. These initiatives aim to create seamless and personalized experiences for
customers.
A case study conducted at Kia Destination, Anand, Gujarat, highlighted the impact of
Kia’s online presence on consumer engagement and sales. The findings underscored
Kia’s effective use of digital marketing techniques, such as targeted advertising and
SEO. However, the study also identified areas where Kia could enhance customer
interaction and refine content personalization.
Kia is at the forefront of sustainable mobility, with ambitious goals to achieve carbon
neutrality by 2045. The company is investing significantly in electric and hydrogen-
powered vehicles and exploring cutting-edge technologies like autonomous driving
and smart mobility solutions.
Kia also promotes environmental responsibility through its use of renewable energy
and sustainable materials in manufacturing. These efforts align with the global push
toward greener automotive solutions, ensuring Kia’s leadership in eco-friendly
innovations.
Looking ahead, Kia envisions transforming into a leader in the mobility sector, going
beyond traditional automobile manufacturing. Its “Plan S” strategy focuses on
expanding its electric vehicle lineup, developing purpose-built vehicles (PBVs), and
introducing connected services to enhance the customer experience.
The brand is also eyeing growth in emerging markets by tailoring its offerings to local
demands. In India, Kia aims to strengthen its presence further by launching new
models designed to meet the needs of cost-conscious and environmentally aware
consumers.
Problem Statement
Boosting Kia Motors Anand's online presence, which is essential for lead generation,
brand awareness, and customer interaction, is a problem. Uncertain customer
impressions of digital content, irregular social media involvement, and unfulfilled
user expectations are among the main problems. Although web analytics provide
quantitative data, comprehension of user behavior and preferences is limited when
qualitative insights are lacking. In order to close these gaps, web analytics and
customer feedback must be integrated in order to assess performance, improve digital
strategy, and raise consumer engagement and satisfaction.
Opportunity Description
By leveraging data-driven methodologies, the project aims to:
Purpose of Analysis

engagement) and business outcomes (like lead generation, brand
visibility, and customer engagement), primary data sources such as
questionnaire will provide insights into Customers' opinions about Kia
Motors Anand's digital platforms will be gathered through surveys,
with a focus on social media involvement, content relevancy, and
website usability.
