Abstract: This study finds out how influencer marketing and online customer reviews influence Generation Z consumers' buying behaviour in Hyderabad, India. Being digital natives, Gen Z (people born from 1997 to 2012) strongly depend on social media and peer comments for purchasing decisions. The study finds that influencer credibility, authenticity, and content reliability greatly influence Gen Z's trust and buying intentions. Similarly, review volume, tone, and regency powerfully drive their product perceptions. With a quantitative approach utilizing standardized questionnaires, the study examines the effect of these digital tools using regression and correlation analysis. The results are intended to inform marketers on how to develop effective digital initiatives for involving Gen Z in urban India.
