Overview

Ugam is a managed analytics and technology services company providing data-driven insights and analytics solutions to large enterprises across retail, high technology, banking, financial services, insurance (BFSI), distribution, and market research sectors. Founded in 2000 and headquartered in Mumbai, India, the company combines proprietary big data platforms, domain expertise, and end-to-end managed services to support business decision-making across industries including insurance.

The company delivers analytics services through several practice areas: retail analytics (price intelligence, assortment optimization, product content), market research operations (survey analytics, data warehousing), and data and technology services (data engineering, AI/ML, brand intelligence). For BFSI clients including insurers, Ugam applies these capabilities to analytics programs, customer research, and data infrastructure.

Prior to acquisition, Ugam had served more than 85 Fortune 500 companies including 9 of the top 25 internet retailers and 12 of the top 25 market research firms globally.
