About Us

Who We Are

Fountainhead Research Private Limited is a dynamic research and consulting organization committed to generating high-quality evidence to inform decisions, influence policies, and improve lives. Founded in 2022, we bring together decades of cumulative experience in social research, evaluation, and data analytics. Our mission is to deliver robust, actionable insights that drive transformation at scale.

At Fountainhead, we believe that impactful research stems from a combination of methodological rigor, contextual understanding, and a genuine curiosity to uncover the “why” behind the data. We serve a diverse range of clients including government bodies, multilateral organizations, donor agencies, private companies, and civil society institutions.

With strong roots in India and a growing global outlook, we operate across sectors including health, education, sanitation, gender, livelihoods, urban development, and technology. Whether it’s designing a nationwide impact assessment or piloting a new data collection method, we tailor every project to client needs and the realities on the ground.
