OUR FOUNDING STORY

Hi, I’m Taapsi and I can write backwards, upside down, and upside down backwards. I’m also the founder of Poocho and the Poocho Pals Network. The two companies are connected at the hip and you, dear reader, are the glue that holds them together. Here's how.

I started Poocho in 2019 with the mission to help brands have more real conversations with their consumers. You see, I am an anthropologist by training. I have spent the better part of the last 10 years learning how to do qualitative research - the type that is interpersonal and intimate. When I started working in the corporate sector I realized that this what’s missing from “big data” analytics - the human dimension, the human story!

So Poocho was born. Poocho is India’s first “human experiences” marketplace. We help connect brands to people like yourself in your own surroundings so they can really get to know you in a real sort of way (as real as you want to permit!).

This is also where the Poocho Pals Network comes in. It’s Poocho’s community of consumers like yourself who are interested in participating in market research that is more meaningful and humanistic. If there is one thing I can guarantee it’s that you have never experienced a market study like ours :)

This is one of my favorite quotes from a fellow Poocho Pal after he completed a study:
I had an amazing experience. In everything I do, I try and discover myself. And that was exactly what happened.
I hope you come away with the same feeling.

Welcome to the Network!

OUR GUIDING PRINCIPLES

🤝

Respect all views
Our society is polarized enough because “sides” aren’t talking to each other. We support multiple voices at the table.

💪🏽

Be courageous
We ask questions that are relevant and necessary, not trendy and superficial. We dare to go where most research doesn’t.

Give space
Good research takes time. We respect everyone’s time - their available time and their down time. It’s how we would want to be treated.

👇

Stay transparent
Trust makes the world go around. We stand for honesty and transparency in what we do. Yes, this also means being held accountable.
