GAIN Group Pty Ltd

GAIN is a boutique consultancy that focuses on contract research through a team of highly specialised individuals with relevant project experience and reputable academic track records that have led to industry-valued research outputs. GAIN offers an interdisciplinary perspective to complex problems drawing from a broad set of disciplines and expertise. A global paradigm with roots in Southern Africa grounds our work in the realities of developing markets and their dynamic – often bewildering – growth paths. GAIN believes that businesses and economies are the collective results of people, their institutions and their interactions; therefore, understanding the behavioural, socio-economic and political elements that impact business is foundational to our approach. Anchored in our core competencies, we ensure that outputs are innovative, insightful, and add expert value to our clients. GAIN incorporates quantitative models, thoughtful market engagement strategies, rigorous desktop research and methodical surveys in its problem-solving analytics. Strong ties to local and international universities, research forums and academic thought leaders ensure we remain at the bleeding edge of our fields of expertise. Developing the solutions required by our clients is an inclusive and engaged process where we ensure that the client remains an integral part of the end product. Our models are data-rich and purpose-built to answer specific macro trade, transport and logistics research questions. These models are updated annually and continuously refined. Their depth, accuracy and continuous updates require dedicated resources, therefore, very few competitors are willing to invest in developing comparable products. Blending the statistical results with knowledge of the underlying trends and drivers provides a substantive interpretation that not only tells the customer what the current reality is, but allows them to understand how the ideal future can be influenced.
