Getting Closer to Clients – Geographically and Technologically

Headquartered in New Delhi, Pure Research started working with a couple of US-based clients in 2012. Over the years, it has diversified its client-base to include leading corporates from the Europe, the Middle East and back-home in India. In December 2015, the company expanded its geographic footprint by opening an office in London, to gain proximity to existing and new clients in the region.
