The Research Series

Hidden Champions of India

Mid-size Indian manufacturers that are research and innovation intensive, with high potential for high-velocity EBITDA growth. Companies that dominate their niche in the global supply chain, growing faster than the large listed companies in their industry, whom almost nobody outside the industry knows.

The Study

Why we research these companies

The term comes from Hermann Simon's research in Germany, where mid-size, world-leading niche manufacturers form the base of the economy. India has these companies too. DeepThought studies them from public data and writes a profile of each: the wealth-creation engine, seen from outside.

Some study companies later work with us on EBITDA growth. That is business for us, later, only if the profile is useful.

What a profile contains
  • Revenue, EBITDA and margins
  • The moat: what the company does that others cannot
  • The market and the opportunity
  • High-value customer targets
  • The main workflows, as we read them from outside
The Publication Rule

The profile goes to the owner first, is corrected by him, and is published only with his consent.

Consented profiles will be listed on this page as they are published.

Is your company one of them?
