SAI GENiUS is an Ahmedabad-based AI-powered strategic intelligence firm serving Indian startups, SMEs, corporate strategy teams, and investors. We deliver custom market research reports, competitor intelligence, GTM strategy, startup business plans, subscription intelligence products, and retainer-based strategic advisory, all powered by an AI-augmented research workflow and verified through our proprietary DEPTH Research Protocol™. Our primary advantage is delivering MBB-quality research depth at startup-accessible price points, in 5–15 days rather than 6–12 weeks.

Our clients span four primary segments: (1) Startup founders from pre-seed to Series B who need investor-grade market intelligence and GTM strategy; (2) MSME and SME business owners seeking market expansion research, competitor benchmarking, and growth strategy; (3) Corporate strategy teams requiring custom research for market entry, M&A intelligence, or competitive benchmarking; (4) Investors, VCs, and family offices needing sector intelligence and deal-specific due diligence research. We also serve agencies and consulting boutiques through our white-label research partnership programme.

Three fundamental differences: (1) Institutional accountability we are a DPIIT-recognized, MSME-registered, Private Limited company with full contractual enforceability, not an individual operating informally; (2) Proprietary quality protocol every deliverable passes through our DEPTH Research Protocol™ (5-layer quality standard), which no individual freelancer operates; (3) AI-augmented workflow our 60–70% AI-augmented production capacity allows us to deliver at a depth and speed that a solo human analyst cannot match. We also provide strategic recommendations, not just data and a structured delivery walkthrough session that most freelancers do not offer.

Syndicated reports are written for everyone, which means they are useful for no one in particular. They answer the general industry question, not your specific business question. SAI GENiUS produces custom research: designed around your precise decision, your target segment, your competitive context, and your geography. The intelligence we deliver is specific to you, not repurposed from a document written for a different buyer in a different situation. We also include strategic recommendations; syndicated reports provide data.

The DEPTH Protocol is SAI GENiUS's proprietary 5-layer quality standard applied to every research deliverable. The five layers are: Data (every claim sourced and disclosed), Evidence (behavioural evidence supports all major findings), Primary Research (original data generated where secondary sources are insufficient), Triangulation (every major finding verified across a minimum of 3 independent sources), and Human Strategy (senior strategist interprets, challenges, and recommends). The protocol ensures that every SAI GENiUS deliverable is factually reliable, strategically interpreted, and immediately actionable.

AI contributes approximately 60–70% of our production workflow, specifically: secondary source synthesis, competitor monitoring, market sizing data assembly, and first-draft structuring. These are tasks AI performs faster and more comprehensively than human analysts working without AI augmentation. The remaining 30–40% of every engagement research design, behavioural evidence interpretation, India-specific context application, DEPTH Protocol quality review, and final recommendations are entirely human-led. We never deliver AI-generated content that has not been verified, challenged, and enriched by a human strategist.

We currently serve clients across Ahmedabad, Surat, Vadodara, Rajkot, Mumbai, Delhi NCR, Bengaluru, Hyderabad, Pune, Jaipur, Indore, Chennai, Coimbatore, and internationally in the UAE and UK.

Subscription products start at ₹5,000/month. Retainers start at ₹25,000/month. All pricing is disclosed in full before any engagement begins. We do not have hidden fees, scope creep charges, or variable costs not disclosed in the project proposal.

Every engagement includes one full revision round at no additional cost if the delivered work does not address the agreed scope as documented in the signed Project Brief. We do not offer cash refunds for completed work because our work product is delivered in full and the time investment cannot be reversed but we guarantee revision until the scope is fully addressed.
