Decisions have the capability to make or break a business. A business decision is made not on whims but by considering the vision, mission, strength and weaknesses. A wrong analysis of data can create a lot of trouble once the decision is implemented. So it is often considered as a best practice to leave data to the experts.
Verace Market Research is one such data expert which was started in 2007 with one idea to bring accurate insights to all those seeking to understand their product or services better. The company has a passion for extracting meaningful data among the dearth of information we have at our disposal. Their motivation is simple; ensuring that through research, they can help businesses make decisions faster and better.

It helps analyse what goes on inside the head of a consumer at every step of the pre and post purchasing process.

It keeps employees motivated by ensuring that they are in a stimulating environment doing what they love to do. Once the motivation is intrinsic, the work gets done automatically. But, ensuring its consistency is difficult. Verace creates an environment where the creative ideas flow and are not restricted. They promote a culture of acceptance, where every idea is respected and every individual is given opportunities to charter their own path according to their needs. This enables its employees to become the best versions of themselves.
Mentoring the Millennials
Ananth believes that the millennial generation is brimming with so much potential that they can accomplish any task they put their mind to easily and effortlessly. But impatience has grown, people want results faster and they want them now. His advice for budding start-ups would be to keep the faith. He says, “If you truly believe in an idea, you have to persevere and go through the dark days where it seems like nothing is possible. Getting through the drudge is the tough part, everything eventually comes together.”
Future Reports
Verace is a futuristic company and Ananth wants to keep with the changes in the industry and constantly innovate to bring better customer satisfaction. The company wants to completely automate the research process so as to achieve higher gains in shorter spans. The idea is to reduce the turn-around-time per project undertaken. It is also looking to diversify its interests. Ananth says, “As a company, we want to place our bets on technologies such as AI which have great potential in today’s technology-driven world. Our venture looks to make the process of conducting research easier and more robust to ensure valuable insights are extracted with the help of technology.”
