Market Research Services from India for Global Clients

Market Research Services in India for Global Clients

Planning to sell in, source from or invest in India? ARS Market Research Services is a Chennai-based research practice, founded in 2010, that runs primary market research in India for companies headquartered anywhere in the world. You get one accountable team on the ground, reporting in English, with fieldwork in Tamil, Kannada, Hindi and other regional languages.

Why overseas companies commission research in India

  • India is not one market. Consumers in Chennai, Mumbai, Delhi and Coimbatore differ in language, income, channels and brand preference. A desk report on ‘India’ rarely answers a pricing or channel question.
  • Local languages matter. Reliable answers from dealers, plant heads and households often need an interviewer who speaks Tamil, Kannada or Telugu, not a translated English questionnaire.
  • Cost and speed. Fieldwork based in India is typically far more economical than running the same study through a Western agency, with the same discipline: back-checks, validation and clear reporting.

What we do

  • Market entry and market sizing for India
  • Consumer research: awareness, trial, usage, brand tracking, concept and product testing
  • B2B, dealer and distributor research: interviews with buyers, plant heads and channel partners
  • Competitor analysis and market intelligence
  • Feasibility and location studies
  • Mystery shopping and retail audits
  • Customer satisfaction and NPS
  • Social, CSR and impact studies (baseline, mid-line, end-line)

How a global project works

  1. Brief: you share the decision you need to make and the markets involved.
  2. Proposal: we usually respond within one working day with scope, sample, method and timeline.
  3. Fieldwork: surveys, focus groups or in-depth interviews, with back-checks on interviews for quality.
  4. Report: clear findings, tables and a recommendation in English, with a call to walk your team through it.

Confidentiality: client identity and data are protected at every stage, and we sign an NDA on request.
