Navigate complexity. Decide with confidence.

Informed decisions set the strongest foundations for organisations looking to scale and grow in new directions. GCC Makers’ Research & Advisory services equip you with the intelligence, analysis, and clarity needed to drive growth, reduce risk, and lead with purpose.

Our insights aren’t off-the-shelf; they’re designed to meet the specific needs of organisations navigating expansion, transformation, or talent-led growth. From regulatory clarity to competitive insight and workforce analytics, we help you connect information with action.

Why It matters

Every strategic decision carries risk. The difference lies in how prepared you are to act. Our advisory services are built to eliminate guesswork, surface opportunity, and enable you to move with confidence, even in uncertain conditions.

We combine data, research, and domain expertise to give you a clear path forward - whether you’re launching a new initiative, solving a complex workforce problem, or future-proofing your operations.

From regulatory readiness and workforce planning to competitive analysis and beyond, our Research & Advisory solutions give you more than information - they deliver perspective, clarity, and the ability to lead decisively.

What We offer

Custom Research and
Bespoke Advisory

Every organisation’s growth path is unique and so should be the research that guides it. Our custom research frameworks are tailored to your specific context, geography, and strategic goals. Whether you're setting up a new capability centre, evaluating policy shifts, or comparing potential entry models, we deliver deeply contextual, insight-led analysis. This work is high-touch, grounded in stakeholder interviews, internal drivers, and nuanced organisational questions. It’s not trend reports or third-party decks - it’s strategic research built for your decision-making table. From feasibility studies to confidential board briefs, we turn ambiguity into action with research that is exact, relevant, and owned.

Regulatory and
Compliance Advisory

Growth across regions brings complexity and complexity can delay decisions. Our regulatory and compliance advisory helps simplify that. We decode the legal and statutory environment across states, countries, and sectors covering labour laws, tax regimes, export regulations, and industry-specific compliance. Whether you’re entering India for the first time or expanding to a new state, we help you anticipate and adapt to what’s required. We stay close to policy shifts, regulatory updates, and implementation best practices, ensuring you avoid fines, missteps, or delayed starts. With us, compliance becomes a strength, not a speed bump.

Market Research and
Competitive Insight

Where are your competitors investing? Which trends are shaping buyer behaviour? What gaps still exist in the market? Our market research focuses on the external landscape delivering sectoral trends, growth drivers, market maturity, and competitor positioning. We provide analysis you can act on: market share data, white-space mapping, regional adoption curves, and product strategy intelligence. This is not “background context.” It’s the foresight needed to launch new services, pivot models, or expand to new territories. Our competitor tracking tools also help you benchmark hiring, pricing, innovation, and customer strategy in real-time.

Talent Gap
Analysis

Need to know if the workforce you require is actually available? Our talent gap analysis gives you the current, ground-level view across skill types, experience bands, and job categories. We help you identify functional shortages, assess educational pipeline strength, and quantify demand/supply mismatches by geography. This is perfect for organisations planning hiring ramps, new verticals, or site selection based on talent density. From software engineers to sales heads to specialised blue-collar roles, we highlight where talent is accessible and where it may require investment, relocation, or upskilling.

Demand
Forecasting

Unlike talent gap analysis, which looks at now, demand forecasting helps you plan for what’s next. We use predictive models to estimate future workforce, infrastructure, and operational requirements based on your internal growth roadmap. These forecasts can simulate hiring waves, budget implications, and support system needs over 6–24 month horizons. Ideal for hyper growth teams, large GCC transitions, or post-funding scaling efforts, our demand models align with your business planning cycle. Each model is scenario-tested and custom-calibrated enabling you to move with foresight, not firefighting.

Business Intelligence and
Data Analytics

Your team likely already has data but are you using it to solve real problems? We help convert raw operations, hiring, and talent data into insights that drive performance. Unlike forecasting, BI focuses on the present: identifying bottlenecks, performance outliers, and behavioural trends inside your systems. We build live dashboards and diagnostic tools that speak to recruiters, team leads, and CXOs alike. From Excel to enterprise-grade platforms, we design for usability, not complexity. The goal? Give every team the insight they need, when they need it, to make faster, better decisions.

Compensation
Benchmarking

Are you paying at par with your competitors? Are you under- or over-rewarding your top performers? Our compensation benchmarking gives you the answer. We offer deep insights into salary structures, bonus plans, benefits, and total rewards across roles, industries, and geographies. From city-level comparisons to remote pay models, we decode what competitive compensation looks like today and what it will look like six months from now. Whether you're redesigning pay bands or entering a new region, we help you build a rewards strategy that’s attractive, equitable, and future-fit.
