Proprietary Research and Consulting

For 30 years, IMA India has built significant experience in the field of proprietary research and consulting. We have conducted research projects and partnered thought- leadership studies for some of the world’s best-known companies, including Fortune 500 firms from across a wide range of industries.

We enable CXOs through actionable intelligence in critical areas – Macroeconomic, Political, Global and Industry Analysis, and Functional and Management Insights – delivered through in-depth reports, benchmarking studies, pulse surveys, best practice cases, policy research, CXO interviews, thematic papers, sectoral analysis, country reports, and a range of investigative papers/studies on specific business issues or decisions.

Besides strong in-house research capability, IMA has extensive professional access to senior industry practitioners, domain specialists and other stakeholders to provide unbiased, fact-based research that is grounded in market reality.

Partnered Engagements: Building Thought Leadership

Leveraging its research capabilities and the power of a wide network, IMA offers partnered research engagements on diverse, operational and leadership issues. Through a mix of focused surveys and CXO interviews, we generate actionable insights on issues that matter to the business community. The output – typically in the form of reports, whitepapers and presentations – is co-branded for use by our partners to send powerful messages to their customers. Crucially, the research findings are arrived at independently and are thus both authoritative and credible.
