An Exclusive Curriculum

Where India's insights industry learns to practice, not just present.

The same off-the-record candour that built The H.E.L.M.'s evenings, now as a curriculum, practitioner-led courses in market research, taught by people who still run the studies.

The Curriculum

Four tracks. Twelve courses. One craft.

Course codes follow a simple logic, 100-level is foundational, 200-level is practitioner method, 300-level assumes you can already run a study and want to specialise.

MR101Foundation

Fundamentals of Market Research

How It Works

Every course follows the same four steps.

Whichever track you pick, the path from enrolment to certificate looks the same.

One

Pick a track

Start at MR101 if you're new, or step straight into a 200/300-level course if you already have the fundamentals.

Two

Learn by doing

Every module runs on real, anonymised datasets, not toy examples, so the skills transfer directly to client work.

Three

Get assessed

A graded capstone project reviewed by a practising researcher, not an automated quiz.

Four

Get certified

A verifiable certificate for LinkedIn or a CV, plus access to the Hub's alumni network.

Why the Hub

Built by people who run studies, not just teach them.

Practitioner Faculty

Taught by working researchers

Every instructor currently practices or has led studies at a research agency, brand insights team, or analytics firm, not career academics alone.

Real Data, Not Toy Data

Capstones on real datasets

Courses use sanitised, real-world corporate and survey datasets, so your capstone looks like actual client work, not a textbook exercise.

The Hub Network

A room, not just a certificate

Graduates get access to the same off-the-record industry network the Hub is known for, introductions, not just a PDF certificate.

Who It's For

A curriculum for the whole room.

Research & Strategy Talent

Junior researchers and consultants building the technical fluency senior roles expect.

Technology & Data Movers

Product and data people who need to speak research fluently, without becoming full-time methodologists.

Founders & Career Switchers

Anyone entering the insights industry from another field, who wants the fundamentals fast and without fluff.
