The consumers have become increasingly complex in their decision making. This has engendered a butterfly effect, propelling market leaders to go beyond run-of-the-mill survey results, and in turn Market Research companies to mine a lot of ‘gray-area’ information behind the black-and-white quantitative answers. Today, with market providing copious choice for customers and with brand loyalty not where it was before, more organizations across the world are discerning the alarming need for qualitative research. But despite the demand flaring up in magnitude, around 95 percent of research companies regardless of the domain still restrict their radar to quantitative surveys. In consonance with the perception of Rajiv Sharma (Founder & CEO, Radma Research), the rationale behind this phenomenon is no rocket science.
“The state-of-the-art qualitative research takes a specialization in subjects and impeccable moderation skills to engage people for a significant amount of time. Having a handpicked team of people who are provided with access to state-of-the-art technologies, and coupled with a strict process-driven approach, we have been able to successfully deliver such demanding projects,” states Rajiv, who is also the one & only business partner of Times Internet for Economic Times RICS.
One among who quickly recognized this dire need was a leading automobile manufacturer in India. They decided to listen to the nuances of what their market echoes, and since there is no room for error, they traced-out a premium qualitative market research organization – Radma Research and Consulting, which belongs to the elite five percent of market research companies globally, performing high-end qualitative research (rest do quantitative research). Yet, they hardly know the impacts that Radma’s meticulous & technologically advanced research could produce.
Banking on state-of-the-art qualitative research methodologies, Radma has successfully completed over 75 qualitative projects in the last one year. Of late, Radma Research became one of the very few research companies to successfully execute video research project for a large global FMCG manufacturer. In truth, the video research has become a buzzword in town owing to the countless ways it helps organizations to savour exceptional outcomes. Radma on behalf of its clients captures (in offline/online mode) hundreds of videos from their target audience that can be in the forms of short videos, IDIs or lengthy focus groups & Ethnos according to the requirement. Once the capture is finished, the offline videos are simply synchronized back and instantly auto-transcribed, translated (into over 80 supported languages), and quality assured. Videos subsequently are rated for sentiments, and interactive charts and word clouds are prepared. This disciplined approach takes its clients into a world of priceless insights. “Organization can see how customers truly feel about
their brands, products, and services. They can read the sentiment behind every single sentence, in every response, or take a step back and view sentiments at a theme level to see where exactly the brand delights its customers,” adjoins Rajiv.
A Strong Team Creating Friendship with Technology
The crux of Radma’s prowess has always been its robust & experienced (eight years on an average) team, which is specialized & trained in domains such as ICT, Automotive, Consumer Products, and FMCG, among others, and above all, acts as the client’s extended team. This backbone combined with its flexibility in adapting into technologies based on the needs & requirements allows the company to decipher the complexity of demanding projects ranging from in-depth qualitative studies to Online Bulletin Boards, Video Surveys, Online Communities, and even High-profile Recruitment, which most of the market research companies refrain from doing due to the level of capabilities it calls for. “Our team comprises seasoned researchers. It’s a mix of MBAs and Engineers from top Colleges/Universities and most of them have worked abroad in sectors such as BFSI, Retail, Automotive and Research. We promote meritocracy and encourage learning & new skill development at every level,” adjoins Rajiv.

The Next Big Thing
Radma is in the process of launching one of the largest Live Streaming Apps in India in collaboration with a Chinese company. It’s one of the oldest, most popular & largest live streaming apps in China, amidst 200+ apps existing. “We got the opportunity,” divulges Rajiv. If the success of Chinese apps in the Indian digital soil is anything to go by, Radma is awaiting huge success and its revenue growth expectations of 25-30 percent is highly justified. While this intrinsically alarms the need for a large team of Developers, Content Writers, Sales & Marketing people, the company predominantly focuses on the strength of the team rather than size. However, it’s currently exploring the possibilities of Campus Recruitments. With sustainable & organic growth trajectories in mind, Radma thus strives to improve efficiencies by encouraging and engaging its workforce towards value-added work, reminding them that the sky is the only limit.
