 <\/p>\n

Remember the 2008 economic crash in the US? Guess what started it \u2013 Speculative decision making by major companies across the spectrum. And we at QuestionPro are determined to not let that mistake be repeated in the World\u2019s fastest growing major economy \u2013 India, where every year nearly 10 million students graduate from colleges.<\/p>\n

In a globalized world that we do business today, research driven innovation and business plans are the corner stone of a successful economy. Research based decision making is a habit, and that needs to start from the very base where young minds bloom \u2013 our universities and colleges.<\/p>\n

The All India Academic Sponsorship Program<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

With this aim, about a year ago we at QuestionPro introduced something that had never been done before \u2013 We gave our premium \u201ccorporate survey software accounts\u201d for free to students across more than 400 universities and colleges across India. This also includes IIMs, IITs, NITs and an array of other top notch schools and the list will only continue to grow.<\/p>\n

The idea was to allow these students to innovate products and ground-breaking business models based on concrete market data and statistics.<\/p>\n

Prior to this, most students had to use freely available basic survey software like Google Forms. While these products are free, their eco-system is highly restricted, are difficult for beginners to use without any experience in survey designs, provide little or no analytical insights into how people are filling their surveys and lack concrete customer support systems.<\/p>\n

Free cutting edge technology for a better future<\/strong><\/p>\n

On the other hand, with QuestionPro\u2019s premium corporate survey accounts<\/a>, students are now able to select from a wide range of ready-made survey templates and over 50 advanced question-types. They can also create their own guided survey designs from scratch with highly customizable fonts, colours, backgrounds, media and several other \u2018drag and drop\u2019 features. This allows them to prepare and get their personalized surveys ready for shoot-out in a matter of minutes! Moreover, with our premium accounts, these students will be able to access our sophisticated, yet easy to use features such as advanced analytics, mobile app, offline data capture, multi-user collaboration, add more than 500,000 email lists, live customer support and a lot more!<\/p>\n

Beyond Make in India – Innovate in India<\/strong><\/p>\n

We are already proud to see that our efforts have encouraged over 2 lac students to actively use our platform for conducting research on market disrupting and innovative products and business ideas. We at QuestionPro too have been deeply active in the \u201cMake In India\u201d campaign. However, we also have a vision that we particularly want to promote \u2013 \u201cInnovate In India\u201d. And smart, sellable and real solution oriented innovation starts with real market data and insights.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
