Our unique “Consulting-Analytics-Research Model” operates in tandem with Research, Analytics & Consulting divisions. A team of analysts & researchers with deep domain expertise in ‘Research’ supports Consultants with accurate background information & analysis during execution of any project. USP of this model lies in combining Primary with Secondary Research, analyzing and then offering strategic & most feasible advisory solutions on various industry trends, market sentiments and business environment conditions.

Phase I: Secondary ResearchRather than re-inventing the wheel, after receiving a request we start with an in-depth research on the public domain. We have access to more than 3000 paid databases that provide us with most recent, authentic and reliable information from sources like books, newspapers, trade journals, white papers, industry & trade associations, government agencies, and published reports etc. Our researchers summarize the findings and forward it to the

analytics team.

Phase II: Gap AnalysisOur analysts review the project requirements thoroughly vis-à-vis available information and identify information gaps using our in-house analytical tools and methodologies.

Phase III: Primary ResearchTaking into account the findings of gap analysis, we design survey questionnaires and identify a list of survey respondents. Our highly experienced market research team gathers information as per the agreed questionnaires using email & telephonic interviewing techniques. After completion of a survey, we either use MS Excel or statistical analysis tools like SPSS, Quantum and SAS to analyze this information and draw our conclusion on specific trends and market sentiments.

Last Phase: Information Analysis & ConsultingOur analytics & consulting team then evaluates the findings and come up with its recommendation using different analytical & modeling tools like Judgmental Forecasting, Ratio Analysis, Historical Trend Analysis, Linear Regression Analysis and Cause & Effect Analysis etc.

In the last stage, our Subject Matter Expert (SME) reviews these findings & recommendations after consultation with the concerned team members. Once we agree that the conclusions and recommendations is the best possible solution, we either invite the client for the final presentation or send the final report to the client through email.
