Review: Vivek, it's great to hear that the movie is close to release. I remember the time when it was just a concept and you were raising funds to produce it. What a journey! Vandana Chahal

Review: Successful new products are typically the result of filling an unmet market or consumer need. Needs are often unarticulated and can be spotted by keen observation of consumer behavior or data analysis. Proper use of market research can yield great insight and provide a powerful basis for new product launch and success. To say that consumers in focus groups can't come up with your next big innovation is like saying you can't saw wood with a spoon. No kidding. A tool used poorly will net a poor result. Don't use this to assume that you should not do consumer research. More often than not the research, if done properly and well interpreted, nets a savings or market leverage many times over its expense.
