Praveen Nijhara, CEO, HANSA RESEARCH
Market Research and Insights industry faced new challenges as a result of technological and social change. COVID 19 restricted as much as disrupted the industry into thinking of new and innovative ways to function through the pandemic. Our focus for the upcoming year will be on how effectively we stay innovatively creative and take advantage of new technology by utilizing the in-house proprietary tools for research.

Engaging with clients across multiple sectors, with an array of packaged and customized offerings, Hansa Research in 2021 will be focusing more on innovation and horizontal integration across market segments, to help clients make insightful decisions. Our packaged integrated solutions will have Market Research at its core, but supported by integrations across various verticals such as … PR, Digital, Media, and Strategy. We look forward to adding demonstrable value through these integrated offerings in the coming year.
New Tech Disruption- Digital Experience
As research integrates into broader insight; the functions the role of the researcher is shifting ever so subtly. Simultaneously, technology has developed so that many of our time-consuming tasks, from data coding, text analysis, sample selection, and management, as well as questionnaire creation, can now be done at the touch of a button. So we have the opportunity and the tools to lead the charge.In light of this, panels have emerged as an effective and efficient source of powerful insights about customers and can provide close to real time data that help marketers identify and understand consumer trends, experiences regarding purchase, product needs, service experiences, life style activities or even media consumption. Hansa Cheetah is one such proprietary smartphone based application that provides high quality, unparalleled, reliable customer data’ with expedited timelines, by deploying technology and essential processes effectively to enable the same. Additionally, use of technology amongst the already connected consumer ensures real time responses at a significant cost advantage. Hansa Research also employs multiple engagement programs and incentivizes panel participants to ensure they remain engaged and provide unbiased, quality responses.
Exploring New Business Streams
We offer a series of syndicated products such as ‘IPLomania’ which tracks advertising and marketing performances during IPL, ‘Festive Monitor’that tracks consumer shopping behavior during festivals, and ‘Brand Endorser’that helps brands choose the right brand endorsers.
We have greater plans to venture into research areas which have high potential and are largely untapped. Hansa Research will unveil an entire new suite of syndicated studies in the area of CX. We also look into strengthening our internal processes to manage accelerated growth and new revenue streams. 2021 will be an exciting year as Hansa Research will make an entry into a couple of new industry segments and continue to consolidate on its syndicated studies.
Getting Creative with Insights
‘Intelligence over instinct’ is what we believe 2021 will be all about. Intelligent insights using modern intelligent technologies like AI and ML will be the way the world will take the emotion out of its decision making. We saw this in 2020 where even something like the US Presidential elections were run on real time data filtering into systems that predicted the sway of votes in swing states. India has been on and off dabbling with new tech over the last 5 years. 2021 will give a big push to corporates to reform the way they use data, research and insights in their decision making. Proper insight will allow India Inc; to discover new products, efficiently manage its workforce and even understand the intricacies of the competitive turf it operates on globally. Hansa Research will be among the first homegrown companies that will bring a new wave of intelligence led insight that will help its clients gain a competitive and strategic edge in the market in 2021.
New age work culture
Hansa Research already has one of the best workforces in its segment. People who come with decades of experience in the industry and who understand client and operational challenges in India. Hansa Research’s workforce and its capabilities is what has made it a partner of choice for local as well as international companies. In view of the pandemic and the limitations it forced upon companies such as ours, it was this very street smart workforce that kept the ball rolling by finding innovative ways of making sure that work did not suffer. Hansa Research continues to invest in young, dynamic, forward looking executives and hopes to fuse them with an already seasoned and experienced workforce in a company with the lowest attrition rate in the industry. A progressive work environment that nurtures learning and provides a clear path to growth for its people is what we look forward to making ourselves known for in 2021.
