How Guwahati buys
Guwahati decides in Assamese, Bengali, Hindi — and in Assamese, which is what a creator’s caption actually sounds like. National campaigns in English reach the part of the city that already speaks English; the rest listens to local voices. Oye’s network in Guwahati is built from those voices: tea-garden and travel creators, North-East music pages, home cooks.

A sample intent for Guwahati
As a brand would state it
I want first orders for a new snack range across Guwahati, from home cooks and food creators, on Reels and Facebook, in Assamese, over the next four weeks.
Beyond the city
The same intent scales sideways to Shillong, Dibrugarh, Silchar — different pin codes, the same dashboard. See hyperlocal influencer marketing and the tier-2 and tier-3 India chapter for why the towns around Guwahati are where growth is.
