The Chennai market is shaped by the world's largest generics industry, Hyderabad's Genome Valley, the Mumbai and Ahmedabad pharma belts and fast-growing private hospital chains. Our recruiters and moderators know these stakeholders and the compliance rules that govern talking to them.
We are headquartered in India, so our India teams run fieldwork in English, Hindi and major regional languages, across both metro and tier-2 markets.

Fieldwork
How fieldwork runs in Chennai
Four stages from brief to readout. The recruitment and fieldwork steps change with the market — metro panels carry most of the load here.
- 01
Scope, screener and feasibility
We turn your objectives into inclusion criteria, quotas and a screener, then sanity-check feasibility against who is genuinely reachable in Chennai before anything goes to field.
Day 0–1
- 02
Local recruitment in Chennai
Recruitment runs off local panels, hospital and clinic networks and referral chains in Chennai. Metro depth means narrow inclusion criteria usually fill without widening the geography. Every respondent is verified on licence, practice setting and decision role, and screened for conflicts and confidentiality.
24–48 hours for expert calls
- 03
Consent, language and moderation
Consent is recorded before anything is asked. Sessions are moderated in Tamil and English; transcripts and deliverables come back in English. In-person IDIs, group discussions and in-facility visits are routine in Chennai, and anything that does not need to be face to face runs on video or telephone.
5–10 business days to field
- 04
Quality control, analysis and readout
Open ends and recordings are back-checked, outliers re-contacted and data cleaned before analysis. You get a decision-ready readout with verbatims, plus adverse-event and product-complaint reporting handled inside agreed timelines.
Debrief and report
Compliance
The rules a Chennai study runs under
Healthcare research is not general market research. These are the codes and laws that shape screeners, honoraria, consent and reporting.
CDSCO
Studies touching regulated products are scoped against CDSCO rules, so nothing we field solicits off-label promotion or unapproved claims.
UCPMP
The Uniform Code for Pharmaceutical Marketing Practices governs how companies engage healthcare professionals. Honoraria and engagement terms in Chennai are set to stay inside it.
DPDP Act 2023
India's data-protection law. Consent is recorded, personal data is minimised, and respondent identities are kept separate from the deliverables you receive.
EphMRA and BHBIA
International healthcare market research codes, including adverse-event and product-complaint reporting inside agreed timelines.
Local context
What makes research in Chennai different
Chennai sits in Tamil Nadu, known for Chennai's hospital corridor, medical-device manufacturing and a deep clinical talent pool. That shapes who is reachable locally and how a study has to be run.
Corporate hospital networks
Large private hospital groups operate in Chennai, so clinicians can be paired with the procurement, value-analysis and administration layers that sign purchases off.
Device and engineering base
Local engineering and light-manufacturing capacity supports medical-device and consumables work, including supplier, service-engineer and distributor conversations.
Teaching-hospital density
Medical colleges and teaching hospitals concentrate senior specialists, department heads and residents in a small radius — useful for specialty depth and KOL mapping.
Referral and inbound patient flow
Patients travel in for treatment, which shapes case mix and out-of-pocket pricing locally — relevant to procedure-volume and patient-journey research.
Metro-scale respondent base
Chennai has enough specialty depth that narrow inclusion criteria usually fill without widening the geography or relaxing quotas.
Moderation in Tamil and English
Clinicians, pharmacists and patients answer more fully in their own language. Sessions are moderated in Tamil and English and delivered back in English.
