Buyers want proof before they sign, clear answers on AI and data, and a product that fits how they buy.

Our approach

## What we work on

Current practice for taking products into Indian enterprise and government markets — tested with real buyers from our network.

Worth knowing

### Trials are now part of the purchase

Forrester reports that more than 60% of business buyers use a trial, and 78% do so for purchases above $10 million. We design pilots that answer the buyer’s real question — will this work here, at this scale, within this budget?

01

### Buyer-validated positioning

Interviews with real buyers from our network test the problem, the value and the category you should compete in — before you spend on a launch.

02

### Pricing and packaging

Value-based tiers and commercial models that suit how enterprises and governments buy — per site, per user, outcome-linked or with AMC — including fit with GeM catalogues.

03

### Pilot design that converts

Time-boxed pilots with success criteria, owners and a budget path agreed before day one, so a successful pilot turns into a purchase order rather than another pilot.

04

### A clear AI and data story

Plain answers to what your AI does, what data it uses, where it is stored and how it is governed — the questions buyers now ask first.

05

### Compliance and trust by design

DPDP consent and data handling, CERT-In reporting duties, security certifications and data-localisation expectations built into the product and the pitch.

06

### Launch plan

Reference customers, analyst and association briefings, and a launch roundtable with the buyers who matter.
