The Shillong 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 Shillong
Four stages from brief to readout. The recruitment and fieldwork steps change with the market — local referral chains do most of the recruiting 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 Shillong before anything goes to field.
Day 0–1
- 02
Local recruitment in Shillong
Shillong sits outside the usual panel footprint. Recruiters work referral chains — clinicians, pharmacies, labs and distributors — rather than assuming metro behaviour holds, coordinated from Guwahati. 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 English, Khasi and Hindi; transcripts and deliverables come back in English. Most Shillong fieldwork is video, telephone or online. Where in-person is essential, a field team travels in and clusters the sessions into one trip.
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 Shillong 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 Shillong 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 Shillong different
Shillong sits in Meghalaya, known for north-east referral market centred on Shillong. That shapes who is reachable locally and how a study has to be run.
North-east India access
Referral patterns, access and supply in the north-east differ from the rest of India. Fieldwork is run with recruiters who know the regional referral chain.
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.
Coverage beyond the panel footprint
Shillong sits outside the usual panel footprint. Recruitment runs through local clinicians, pharmacies and labs, so you get real behaviour instead of a metro proxy.
Moderation in English, Khasi and Hindi
Clinicians, pharmacists and patients answer more fully in their own language. Sessions are moderated in English, Khasi and Hindi and delivered back in English.
