This article explores how P&G’s consumer insights and Workday’s cloud-based Workday Human Capital Management (WPHCM) solutions can drive engagement, operational efficiency, and market expansion in the gaming sector.
1. Understanding India’s Gaming Market

P&G’s expertise in consumer behavior and brand loyalty can inform gaming strategies:

Data Analytics: Leverage P&G’s AI-driven consumer insights to personalize in-game experiences (e.g., regional content customization for cricket fans in India).
