Qualitative Research Intern

Ember Foundry by Torrocks Brand Comm

Ember is new insight studio for Indian promoters to make better, more informed decisions for their businesses. We exist to uncover what people truly think, feel, and do beyond the obvious, so that promoters can shape brands, products, and experiences that last. Rooted in research and driven by context, Ember blends primary and secondary market intelligence, cultural listening, and human truths into clear, actionable insights for decision-making.
