Our market research process involves with the four specific stages.

  • Data Collection
  • Data Synthesis
  • Market Deduction & Formulation
  • Data Screening & Validation

Data Collection: This stage of the market research process involves with the gathering and collecting of the market/industry related data from the sources. There are basically two types of research methods:

  • Primary Research: By conducting primary research, it involves with the two types of data gathering; exploratory and specific. Exploratory data is open-ended and helps us to define a particular problem involving surveys, and pilot study to the specific consumer group, knowing their needs and wants catering to the industry related product/service offering. Explanatory data gathering follows with the bit of unstructured way. Our analyst group leads the study by focusing on the key crowd, in this manner picking up bits of knowledge from them. In light of the points of view of the clients, this data is used to plan advertise techniques. In addition, showcase overviews causes us to comprehend the current scenario of the business. Specific data gathering on the hand, involves with the more structured and formal way.

The data & information is gathered with consideration to the heterogeneity of sources. Scientific and statistical methods are implemented for synthesizing dissimilar information sets and provide the relevant data which is fundamental for formulating strategies. Our organization has broad involvement with information amalgamation where the information goes through different stages:

  • Information Screening: Information screening is the way toward examining information/data gathered from the sources for errors/mistakes and amending it before data integration process. The screening includes in looking at raw information, identifying and distinguishing mistakes and managing missing information. The reason for the information screening is to ensure information is effectively entered or not. Our organization utilizes objective and precise information screening grades through repetitive quality checks.
  • Data Integration: The data integration method involves with the incorporation of numerous information streams. The data streams is important so as to deliver investigate examines that give overall market scenario to the investors. These information streams originate from different research contemplates and our in house database. After the screening of the information, our analysts conduct efficient integration of the data streams, optimizing connections between integrated surveys and syndicated data sources. There are two research approaches that we follow so as to coordinate our information; top down methodology and bottom up methodology. 
    • Top-down analysis generally refers to using broad factors as a basis for decision making. The top-down approach helps in identifying the overall market scenario along with the external and internal factors effecting the market growth.
    • The bottom-up approach takes a completely different approach. Generally, the bottom-up approach focuses its analysis on micro attributes and specific characteristics of the domain specific market.
