Our Understanding

Behavioural science

  • Two decades of research in various domains has given as a deep understanding how human brain functions in terms of their behaviour. This understanding helps us why an individual would buy into an idea or concept or for that matter a product, and what needs to be done to make them buy into the same. This also helps us understand the political behaviour of human beings.

Understanding of the SDGs

  • The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) formulate the road map for the development sector, we do have a deep understanding of all 17 goals and the indicators thereof.

Understanding of various evaluation frameworks

  • The evaluation frameworks worked over by various scholars and the data from syndicated research conducted to provide a deep understanding. We have studied them well, and wish to use these insights for future projects.

Market understanding

  • Another outcome of understanding behaviour gives one the ability to understand the market. Coupled with that closely following the agri-business and FMCG markets as well as the automotive markets provides us with the capacity to read them better.

Projection and estimation

  • We have good team with statistical background to be able to project our findings to the universe of your choice, be it the programme area, the market your product wants to reach to or the constituencies you would like to win.
