Research

At Pentagon, we've always believed that customers are integral to a brand, and that this is something we should never lose focus of. On our own initiative, we’ve always spoken to customers who use the products of the clients we work with, in order to better understand how the brand is perceived among customers. In addition, we’ve also interacted with non-customers who fall within our target audience in order to know how they perceive the brand and why they haven’t used it as yet. This has helped us immensely to better understand the brand and it has always proved to be very useful in our work.

Over the past 3 years we've worked on three very large research assignments for bigbasket. The objective has been to understand customers, other online grocery shoppers and non-online grocery shoppers to know their grocery shopping journeys and how they’ve arrived at their current patterns. In addition, these assignments have helped us develop the positioning for bigbasket for their TVCs. The research studies have been qualitative in nature, consisting of a mix of focus group discussions and depth interviews. These have been conducted by us across the country, with sample sizes ranging from around 100 to 200 people in total for a study.

We’ve published three research books based on our findings. The research studies were qualitative in nature. In addition, we also analyse and interpret secondary quantitative data.
