They not only make purchase decisions for personal consumption but they also influence family purchase decision-making (Kaur and Singh, 2006).

Indian literature gives a brief scenario of Indian culture and its impact on children purchase behaviour. Inorder to answer the research questions, the study undertakes qualitative approach particularly using in depth interview for obtaining detailed, open ended explanation of children influence in family purchase decision. Children between the ages 6-16 years are interviewed. Their interviews were later transcribed and analysed and then the interpretation of the findings was undertaken. Limitation, marketing impaction and future research scope has also been proposed.
