Why AUM Research

The Difference Between Data and Evidence That Decides

We are not a general management consulting firm that occasionally does evaluation. Research, monitoring, and evidence generation is our sole discipline. Every team member, every system, and every output is calibrated to one purpose — producing evidence that decision-makers can act on with confidence.

True Mixed-Method Capability

We design and execute quantitative surveys and qualitative systems simultaneously — not sequentially outsourced. Our team holds expertise in SPSS, STATA, R, NVivo, and Atlas.ti.

Pan-India Field Infrastructure

1.8 million respondents across all 36 states and UTs. 400+ towns. CAPI-enabled field teams with GPS tracking, audio auditing, and real-time quality dashboards.

Government-Grade Accountability

Assignments with NITI Aayog, NABARD, and Ministry of WCD demand precision, traceability, and defensibility. Our systems and protocols are built to that standard.

From Evidence to Action

We do not stop at findings. Every report includes prioritised recommendations, implementation pathways, and dissemination support — bridging the evidence-to-action gap.

Ethical Research Standards

Informed consent, respondent confidentiality, DPDP Act compliance, data security protocols, and IRB-compatible study design built into every assignment from day one.

Our Research Approach →
Our Mission

To deliver truthful, rigorous, and human-centred evidence that bridges field realities with policy decisions — enabling governments and development partners to design programmes that are equitable, effective, and enduring across India.

Our Vision

An India where every public investment is grounded in field evidence, every community voice is reflected in programme design, and every rupee of government expenditure delivers measurable, lasting, and equitable development outcomes.

Commission a Study. Partner on an Assignment. Build Evidence Together.

Whether you need a baseline study, a national survey, a programme evaluation, or a rapid appraisal — AUM Research brings the design rigour, field infrastructure, and analytical depth to deliver.
