Market Intelligence

The goal of market intelligence is to quickly and cost-effectively assess and validate opportunity for your product. When technology companies first look at India many have unanswered questions: What is the scope of the market opportunity for my product? What is the competitive landscape? Are there barriers to entry? Do I need to rethink my pricing strategy? Is there a beachhead strategy that I should adopt? As part of TaraSpan’s Unlock India™ platform, Explore is a service that answers these questions. The components of the service include:

• India market assessment for your product
• Market opportunity sizing
• Identification of technical, competitive or regulatory challenges
• Early stage business development to validate your product’s value proposition in the India market, pricing strategy and potential partners
• Customer and partner identification
• Hosted executive trip to India to meet potential partners, customers, channel, government agencies, etc.
• Market entry strategy recommendations to build the ‘business case’ for India
