The Biggest Problem with Primary Market Research, and How You Can Fix It
Traditionally, market research has meant outsourcing your research problem to an established agency. The agency then uses primary and secondary data sources to provide the needed market intelligence.
But this traditional approach suffers from a few problems:
- Effort, Time and Cost Intensive: Primary Research projects take months, and are very cost-intensive, even when executed by established research firms.
- Accuracy and Reliability of data: Customers’ needs are constantly changing. So data becomes outdated fast in this constantly evolving market. This means repeating the exercise, again at great effort and cost.
Moreover, many companies depend on online sources of data. But in a country like India, over 850 million Indian consumers live in rural areas, and where the internet usually does not work or the connectivity is patchy, and most of the people are not tech-savvy. Accessing information through online means like surveys is out of the question.
A unique proposition is disrupting the traditional market research paradigm through market research services through an extensive network of trained ex-soldiers across India.
“Market Research and Ex-soldiers? Really?”
