Only eight per cent of Indian customers who are unsatisfied with their digital experience would continue to remain loyal to the brand, added the "India Digital Experience" report by SAP, a leader in enterprise application software.

It found that 59 per cent of consumers were delighted and 15 per cent unsatisfied with their digital experience.

"Digital transformation will be crucial for accelerating the growth of India's economy. The report corroborates the need for the industry to identify 'Digital Business Leaders' who can address the digital experience that businesses provide to their customers," said Deb Deep Sengupta, President and Managing Director, SAP Indian Subcontinent.
