These are the actual research mandates we have executed — described with the specificity that most consulting firms bury in vague case study language. You will see what we built, what method we used, and what the client did with it.
NDA Note: Client identities for white-label mandates are withheld per confidentiality agreements. Where client identity is named, permission has been granted or engagement was conducted as a direct (non-white-label) mandate.
A Global Tier-1 management consulting firm required ongoing India cement industry intelligence to support a long-running client engagement. The deliverable needed to meet their internal editorial standards and be delivered on a fixed monthly cadence — under their brand, with no attribution to Swadhyay.
The client needed consistent, publication-ready India cement sector intelligence — production volumes, capacity additions, regional demand trends, pricing dynamics, and regulatory developments — delivered monthly with no lag and no quality variance.
The constraint: the end client could not know the research was externally sourced. Every deliverable had to carry the quality and voice of internal consulting research. Inconsistent sourcing, weak triangulation, or editorial drift would immediately undermine the relationship.
Swadhyay built a structured monthly intelligence brief covering India's cement sector — tracking capacity utilisation across major players, regional demand signals, government infrastructure spend impacting demand, raw material pricing, and competitive dynamics across the top 10 producers.
Each issue was delivered in a clean, annotation-free format matching the client's internal house style. AI agents were used for source monitoring and aggregation; every data point was human-reviewed and cross-referenced before inclusion. Retainer delivered consistently over multiple months.
A Global Tier-1 strategy consulting firm required primary research on India's electric vehicle market, focused on consumer adoption patterns and infrastructure readiness in the National Capital Region. The engagement required original interview-based data — not desk research repurposing published reports.
The client needed ground-truth data on EV adoption barriers, consumer willingness-to-pay, infrastructure perceptions, and competitive dynamics in the NCR market — at a level of specificity that secondary research simply could not provide.
The research needed to be triangulated across consumer segments, channel partners, and infrastructure operators, with synthesis structured to support a strategic recommendation for an automotive sector client.
Swadhyay designed and executed a structured primary research programme in NCR — covering consumer surveys across segments, structured interviews with EV dealers and charging network operators, and expert conversations with policy and infrastructure stakeholders.
Findings were synthesised into an adoption curve analysis, willingness-to-pay segmentation, and an infrastructure readiness map for Delhi-NCR. Delivered as a data file and synthesis brief formatted to the client's specification.
A Global Tier-1 strategy consulting firm required comprehensive secondary research on the global air conditioning industry — covering market structure, consolidation trends, competitive dynamics among global players, and emerging market growth patterns — to support a client engagement on industrial sector strategy.
The research required mapping the global AC market across multiple geographies — tracking M&A activity, market share shifts, manufacturing footprint changes, and competitive positioning of the top 10–15 global players over a multi-year period.
The challenge was scale: synthesising publicly available data, industry reports, and corporate filings across Japanese, Chinese, Korean, European, and US players into a coherent consolidation narrative usable at the strategic advisory level.
Swadhyay executed a structured global secondary research programme — building a competitive landscape matrix across the top 15 AC manufacturers, mapping consolidation events (acquisitions, JVs, exits) from 2015 onwards, and modelling market share dynamics across key geographies.
The AI-augmented research pipeline significantly accelerated the data aggregation phase across non-English sources (Japanese, Chinese corporate filings). All data was human-validated against primary corporate sources and structured into a deck-ready output with a full source annex.
PropertyFinder — the MENA region's leading real estate platform — required multi-component research intelligence to support its expansion into Egypt and Bahrain. The mandate covered competitive landscape mapping, database hygiene, and geographic data standardisation across both new markets.
Competitor mapping: PropertyFinder needed a clear picture of the competitive landscape in Egypt and Bahrain before launch — who the incumbent platforms were, how they operated, their market share signals, pricing, and product positioning.
Database hygiene: The existing property listing data for both markets required systematic validation — deduplication, field standardisation, and quality scoring before the platform could go live with reliable inventory.
Geographic standardisation: Property listing data lacked consistent geographic coordinate data. Mapping thousands of listings to accurate GPS coordinates was a prerequisite for the platform's location-based search functionality.
Competitive intelligence: A structured competitor map across Egyptian and Bahraini real estate portals — covering traffic estimates, listing depth, agent relationships, and product feature comparisons. Delivered as a positioning matrix and narrative brief.
Data cleansing at scale: Systematic validation and cleaning of PropertyFinder's Egypt and Bahrain listing databases — deduplication logic, field normalisation, and quality scoring applied across thousands of records.
Geo-coordinate standardisation: Geocoding programme applied across the full listing inventory for both markets — mapping each property to validated GPS coordinates, enabling the platform's search and map functionality to operate accurately from launch day.
A Global Tier-1 management consulting firm required secondary research on automation technology adoption in the Spanish and broader European bakery and food manufacturing sector — covering available automation solutions, adoption rates, investment levels, and key vendors — to support a strategic mandate for a food industry client.
The engagement required building a factual landscape of automation adoption in European bakery manufacturing — covering robotics and process automation penetration, key technology vendors, investment patterns among large and mid-sized operators, and regulatory considerations around food safety and labour.
The challenge: bakery automation is a niche intersection of food manufacturing and industrial automation, with limited consolidated research. Building a credible landscape required sourcing across trade publications, vendor materials, academic research, and industry body data across Spanish and European sources.
Swadhyay executed a targeted secondary research programme — mapping the automation technology landscape for European bakery operations, profiling the top 10–12 automation vendors (robotics, packaging, mixing, proofing), estimating adoption rates by operator size, and benchmarking capital investment patterns.
Spanish-language trade sources were processed through the AI-augmented research pipeline alongside English-language industry data. Delivered as a structured vendor landscape, technology adoption matrix, and investment benchmarking brief — formatted to client specification.
