| "I have recently completed a multi-country project for New Zealand Dairy Board that included three cities in India for which I worked with Dina Mehta of Explore Research. So impressed was I with Dina that I have since forwarded her name to another international colleague for possible market research work in India. Dina is clearly a specialist in her chosen field. She displays a strong empathy with, and genuine interest in, her respondents such that they immediately warm to her and open up. What stands her apart from many other qualitative researchers is her ability and willingness to probe beyond surface consumer responses therefore collecting far more insightful and useful information. She distilled this information into informative and strategic conclusions. Undertaking international research projects are unique in that one must understand a foreign brief, interpret this into a local context and then re-interpret the results back into 'foreign' language for foreign understanding. We therefore rely a great deal on the foreign moderator's ability to effectively understand and work within two cultures. Dina excels at this and because of this one is able to confidently place all trust in her ability to collect, distill and feedback research findings that fully meet research objectives. Having undertaken international market research for over six years, I have a fair basis for comparison of moderators in various countries, and I can honestly say that Dina Mehta is one of the best".

| "We have had an excellent relationship with Dina and her team at Explore Research. They have an excellent understanding of the Indian Media scene and in our opinion are one of the best for programming research and tracking.

| "In March 2004, Pitney Bowes contracted Dina Mehta of Explore Research and Consultancy to provide ethnographic research for a three month project in India. This research included work in a wide variety of rural and urban settings. Because of the high quality of results, Explore's contract has been extended into 2005. Dina has become a thoroughly integrated member of our project team. Dina's work in the field has consistently provided insightful and valuable learnings resulting directly from her high level of observational skills. Dina's participation on our team has enabled American team members to understand Indian culture, and has delivered useful insights for our business. Dina has been able to provide the ethnographic foundation from which we have innovated a wide range of potential concepts. This valuable work continues as this letter is being written. Pitney Bowes would highly recommend Dina as a contractor to provide ethnographic research services in India, based on her highly developed skills in deep ethnographic research and her ability to translate observations into business opportunities." Philip W. Swift, Manager and Project Lead, Pitney Bowes, Inc. |
