Abstract

This study empirically investigates the non-adoption of digital marketing in the rural villages of the Sahyadri region, a crucial but under-researched area of India. Despite a nationwide surge in digital penetration and high reported awareness of digital marketing among rural populations, a significant gap exists between this awareness and actual adoption. The study concludes that a holistic approach combining infrastructural development with targeted, community-based digital skills training is essential to effectively bridge the digital divide and foster digital marketing adoption in rural communities.
