The Mumbai 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 Mumbai

Four stages from brief to readout. The recruitment and fieldwork steps change with the market — metro panels carry most of the load here.

  1. 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 Mumbai before anything goes to field.

    Day 0–1

  2. 02

    Local recruitment in Mumbai

    Recruitment runs off local panels, hospital and clinic networks and referral chains in Mumbai. 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

  3. 03

    Consent, language and moderation

    Consent is recorded before anything is asked. Sessions are moderated in Marathi, Hindi and English; transcripts and deliverables come back in English. In-person IDIs, group discussions and in-facility visits are routine in Mumbai, and anything that does not need to be face to face runs on video or telephone.

    5–10 business days to field

  4. 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.

Compliance

The rules a Mumbai 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 Mumbai 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 Mumbai different

Mumbai sits in Maharashtra, known for India's pharma and financial capital region — the Mumbai–Pune corridor, the Ahmedabad–Mumbai pharma belt and major hospital chains. That shapes who is reachable locally and how a study has to be run.

Industry head-office access

Pharma, medtech and diagnostics head offices cluster here, so commercial, market-access and brand-side respondents are reachable alongside clinical ones.

Same state as our head office

We are headquartered in Pune, Maharashtra, India, so Mumbai sits inside the state our research operations know best — its hospital groups, trade channels and regulators included.

Corporate hospital networks

Large private hospital groups operate in Mumbai, so clinicians can be paired with the procurement, value-analysis and administration layers that sign purchases off.

Trade and distribution reach

Stockists, distributors and chemist channels cluster here, so channel-level pricing, stocking and availability questions get answered from the ground rather than modelled.

Metro-scale respondent base

Mumbai has enough specialty depth that narrow inclusion criteria usually fill without widening the geography or relaxing quotas.

Moderation in Marathi, Hindi and English

Clinicians, pharmacists and patients answer more fully in their own language. Sessions are moderated in Marathi, Hindi and English and delivered back in English.
