Services · for organisations
Sourced India intelligence for the questions your organisation needs answered.
Tell us what your organisation needs to understand about India, where it is exposed, and when it needs an answer. We assemble the evidence, resolve the research gaps, deliver a reviewed brief, and — if you want — keep the relevant facts current.
Three ways to work with us
India Evidence Sprint
from $1,000 per project
One bounded question set with a deadline — a client presentation, an internal review, a board paper.
- A reviewed brief answering your questions
- A source register: every claim to its primary
- An explicit gaps log: what could not be established, and why
One question set agreed at scoping. Specialist interviews, translation and licensed data are quoted separately and only with your approval.
Start with a scoping call →State / Sector Evidence Pack
from $2,500 per project
A defined comparison across several states, schemes or institutions, on criteria you set.
- A sourced comparison matrix with a verification status on every cell
- An institutional responsibility map
- An assumptions register and an unresolved-questions log
- An executive summary for your internal review
Jurisdictions, criteria and evidence standard fixed at scoping. Extensions are re-scoped, not absorbed.
Start with a scoping call →Maintained India Desk
from $1,500 per month
A defined India exposure that your team needs kept current — institutions, schemes, states and projects you depend on.
- A watchlist of the claims and instruments you rely on, re-checked against their sources
- Material-change briefs when a source changes what you assumed
- A set number of research requests per month
- A periodic review of the assumptions register
Set numbers of watched entities, topics, users, requests and review depth, agreed up front. We do not offer "unlimited" India intelligence.
Start with a scoping call →Prices in USD for internationally contracted work; the final price is fixed at scoping. Where we coordinate external specialists — interviews, local-language verification, licensed datasets — that work is approved by you in advance and carries a disclosed coordination fee.
Who this is for
Consultancies and advisory firms
Hand us the India research workstream from a client mandate you already have — delivered white-label, to your deadline.
Public-policy and regulatory teams
Keep the evidence behind your India operating footprint current, and know when a notification changes an assumption.
Expansion and project teams
Compare the documented incentive frameworks, responsible institutions and implementation status across the states under review.
How a mandate runs
- 01
Qualify
What decision or obligation the research supports, and by when.
- 02
Scope
The exact questions, jurisdictions, evidence standard, deliverable and acceptance criteria.
- 03
Quote
A fixed price for the agreed scope. Nothing proceeds without your authorisation.
- 04
Research
We check existing evidence first, then source only the gaps — official primaries before anything else.
- 05
Review
A human reviewer checks consequential interpretations, conflicts and that every citation supports its claim.
- 06
Deliver
Against the acceptance criteria, with the answer, its evidence and its limits.
- 07
Monitor
Optionally, we keep the facts you depend on under watch.
What we do not do
We sell research competence, not influence. We do not give investment or securities advice, lobby, broker approvals, obtain privileged or confidential government material, or produce conclusions to order. India's National Single Window System already lists the approvals a business needs; our work is the comparative evidence, change history and unresolved dependencies around your questions.
See the standard of evidence first
Our public comparisons and trackers use the same evidence model as paid work.
Questions
- Does IndiaStand give investment, legal or policy advice?
- No. We establish what is documented, what changed, which institutions are responsible, where evidence conflicts and what remains unknown. The recommendation stays with you or a separately engaged qualified adviser. Our fee depends on delivering the agreed research, not on reaching a particular conclusion.
- Can you tell us which Indian state is best for our investment?
- We will compare the states under review on the criteria you set, with every cell sourced and every gap stated. We do not rank or pick a winner — that judgement depends on your priorities and belongs to your decision process.
- What happens if a source is not available?
- You get a disclosed gap, a revised scope or an approved escalation — for example a specialist check or a local-language review, quoted separately. We never fill a gap with an unsourced answer.
- Is our research request confidential?
- Yes. Client questions, documents and plans are kept out of our public pages and in a separate private workspace. A commission never becomes a public page; we reuse client-specific work only under rights agreed with you.
- Do you work white-label for consultancies?
- Yes. Evidence packs can be delivered for a consultancy to use in its own client work, under agreed confidentiality and attribution terms.
Have a question with a deadline?
Describe the decision it supports. We reply with a scope, not a sales deck.
