December - 2014 issue > 5 Most Promising Market Research Companies   


'Know Your Market' is the biggest mantra that modern day businesses must never overlook. Varying inclination and choices of consumers, changing business and market paradigm, rapid advancement in technologies and amplifying competition, demands businesses to be on their toes all the time. Knowing and sensing the market and its ever changing fundamentals is an inescapable business affair, and those who know how to gather and use information strategically, set for them the top place in the ladder.

Successful businesses engage in continual research to keep up with market trends and to maintain a competitive edge over others. Regardless of whether a business aims to launch a new product, expand operations, diversify to a new product or market its products or services, research is a vital and fruitful business activity. But one has to be very cautious while choosing a research partner as there are very few players in the industry who provide authentic and reliable business insights. Most of the players offer their services at a very low cost and provide manipulated and spin doctored results that lead businesses to incur heavy losses. Thus what seems to be cheap may turn to be really costly.

Addressing the vital need for business entrepreneurs and leaders to find a perfect market research services provider, siliconindia identifies "5 Most Promising Market Research Companies". A distinguished panel of the industry's topmost CEOs, CMOs, Marketing Heads, VCs and analytics including siliconindia's editorial board scrutinized the list of market research firms and marketing companies in Social, Mobile and Digital space.
