About

I’m Disha Nayyar, a senior qualitative research and consumer insights consultant with 10+ years of experience across agency and independent consulting roles. Over the last several years, I’ve led end-to-end qualitative studies—designing research approaches, moderating IDIs and group discussions, running ethnographic and observational work, and translating complex consumer behaviour into clear, client-ready insight narratives.

I’ve built deep expertise in India consumer and cultural understanding, and I enjoy shaping strategic recommendations from qualitative data—whether it’s for technology and AI, healthcare, FMCG, personal care, laundry, baby care, food & beverage, travel, or media. In my current consulting work since July 2022, I partner with agencies and clients to deliver research synthesis, frameworks, and storytelling that directly support decision-making.
