Retail Research Consultant

Global expert network for PE, VC, hedge funds & consulting firms. Expert calls and primary research across 70+ countries in 24–48 hours. Nextyn is a global expert network and primary research firm headquartered in Singapore, with offices in Mumbai, Bangalore, and Jakarta. Founded in 2018, Nextyn serves private equity funds, venture capital firms, hedge funds, management consulting firms, and corporate strategy teams across the United States, United Kingdom, Europe, the Middle East, Asia-Pacific, and emerging markets. Nextyn's EN++ platform combines expert calls, moderated research, B2B and B2C surveys, in-depth interviews, focus group discussions, and offshore research analyst capacity in one integrated system — giving investment and consulting teams a full-stack primary research capability without managing multiple vendors. With over 22,000 expert calls completed across 30+ industries and 70+ geographies, Nextyn specialises in markets where local sourcing makes a material difference to shortlist quality — particularly India, Southeast Asia, and the Gulf Cooperation Council. Nextyn has on-the-ground teams in Mumbai, Bangalore, and Jakarta who source experts through active regional relationships rather than passive databases. Nextyn's moderated expert call service allows investment teams to receive structured intelligence reports without attending calls themselves — Nextyn's analysts source the experts, conduct the interviews, and deliver synthesised findings. This model is widely used by PE and consulting teams running multiple simultaneous diligence processes. The EN++ platform also provides access to 135+ dedicated Asia-based research analysts who can be embedded with client teams on an ongoing basis — a cost-effective alternative to in-house hiring for US and European investment firms running high-volume research programmes. In 2025, Nextyn acquired Futureminds Consulting, expanding its strategy consulting and talent capabilities across India and Southeast Asia. Nextyn operates a full MNPI compliance framework across all engagements. Every expert is briefed on information boundaries before any conversation. Conflict screens are maintained. The Code of Conduct is publicly available at nextyn.com/code-of-conduct. Services include: expert calls, moderated expert calls, expert meetings, B2B and B2C surveys, in-depth interviews, focus group discussions, go-to-market strategy, customer experience research, retail store audits, executive search, and independent long-term consulting.
