Amidst the ongoing global coronavirus pandemic, we were looking for an effective barometer to evaluate economic activity in the countries that have already implemented restrictive measures to “ flatten the curve”. Traditional indicators proved insufficient as the absence of daily reporting restricted real time analysis of economic activity. We settled on using city/region wise pollution index as a proxy for economic activity since it is a function of overall movement/commercial activity and is also reported on a daily basis.

Vol.14: Havas Media Italy conducted a quantitative ad hoc research on 706 cases 18+, a sample that represents Italian citizens.
The aim is to investigate how Italian habits are changing since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic.
The document provides a summary of the main economic trends in Ukraine for April 2023 according to a monthly survey of 560 Ukrainian enterprises. Key points include:
1. Enterprise performance remained good with optimistic expectations, though expectations declined slightly from the previous month. Assessments of the current situation and economic uncertainty continued to improve gradually.
2. Rising prices remained the top business obstacle while electricity interruptions decreased significantly as an impediment. It was also less dangerous for enterprises to operate.
3. Comparisons to one year ago showed enterprise situations improved overall with more reporting better conditions and fewer reporting worsening conditions. Plans for the next two years remained stable with moderate optimism.
To fill existing gaps in the humanitarian information management system, primarily caused by accessibility and security issues, REACH developed the Area of Knowledge methodology. Every month the humanitarian need for different sectors was assessed in 7 out of 10 states. The information was presented in a factsheet ideated by Marco Pizzolato in November 2016.
1) The document presents population and socio-demographic data of Barangay San Jose collected in August 2016, including distributions of population by age, marital status, family type, religion, and place of origin.
2) Tables and figures show the barangay's socio-economic indicators such as educational attainment, occupation, income, housing characteristics, and domestic issues including water sources, sanitation, animal keeping, and garbage disposal.
3) Data on environmental management, common calamities, evacuation areas, and cultural activities are presented, along with community awareness of health programs and preferences for health services.
The document provides an overview and analysis of past, present, and future media trends in relation to the COVID-19 pandemic. In the past section (January 1 - March 11), media consumption was stable but the ad market was in recession. In the present section (March 12 - June 30), there have been major cancellations of events, restrictions on movement, and increases in media consumption such as TV and streaming. In the future section (July 1 - onwards), advertising recovery will depend on consumer confidence and movement, with Q3 taking a soft approach and Q4 recovery uncertain depending on societal return to normal.

Covid 19 Market Impact Paradigms April 2020Niraj Singhvi
At the cusp of possibly the most significant market drawdown and economic shock we've seen since the financial crisis, MGP looks at market impact paradigms to assess basal market impact of such events. And while current private equity war chests are well equipped to help alleviate pressures enabled by some rationalization of deal multiples in the wake of current turbulence, it also faces a major risk if these events lead to genuine economic deterioration.
Contemplating Covid 19 Economic Recovery and a Market Performance Comparison ...Niraj Singhvi
Maple Growth Partners is of the opinion that the economic recovery will likely be W-shaped, however, it all depends on the stricter/ longer government interventions during the course of the virus outbreak. We looked at the market performance during the prior outbreaks to understand the length of the virus impact on to the economy. Interestingly, all the previous major virus outbreaks occurred when the world was already dealing with some political/ economic adversities. We provided a gist of typical leading/lagging economic indicators to be cognizant of the ongoing market impact driven by Covid 19 outbreak. Lastly,
we also analyzed gold prices to see if there’s any shift in demand for this safe haven asset during periods of pandemic uncertainties.
Indian Construction Equipment and Infrastructure Financing MarketNiraj Singhvi
This report is prepared by Maple Growth Partners, an investment research and strategic advisory firm.
One of our Singapore-based impact investing fund client had asked us to conduct a detailed study within the Indian NBFC market to identify growth segments based on their investment criteria. They were looking for tech-oriented companies with an investment ticket size of less than $1 million. This full report is a 300 pager document providing a detailed overview of the Indian NBFC industry.
We first provided a broad overview of the Indian NBFC market and identified 12 service segments such as SME, education, healthcare, auto, housing, infra finance, construction equipment finance, loan against property (LAP), affordable housing, microfinance, gold, and wholesale finance. Of these identified segments, we carried out a detailed study on the following 9 segments our client was broadly interested into: SME, auto, healthcare, education, housing, affordable housing, construction equipment finance, infra finance, and LAP.
Then, we compared and evaluated all these segments based on a strict investment parameter framework to come up with a more fact-based (rather than intuitive) investment rationale and go-to-market strategies. We later presented our sector insights, value creation game plan, and actionable targets for each of the attractive segments, along with a directory of industry experts and influencers so that our client had the primary first-hand resource to assess the investment opportunities within the identified attractive service segments.
While the entire report is exclusive for the said client, we have provided our piecemeal analysis of the two least interested sectors (from the client perspective) i.e. infrastructure financing and construction equipment finance in order to showcase our research and analytical skill-sets and capabilities.
USA Multi Level marketing Industry Research 2018Niraj Singhvi
This report is prepared by Maple Growth Partners, an investment research and strategic advisory firm.
We recently evaluated the US multi level marketing industry for our client, a US-based private investment firm. In this report, we provided a typical performance cycle of an MLM company; identified suitable KPIs to analyze and compare competitor firms; and commented on general MLM market dynamics.
We identified that ‘pop and drop’ is the typical performance curve for a MLM firm. Pop and drop can be defined as a paradigm when sales massively increase in the initial years and then subsequently experience a sharp drop right after hitting the peak level. Typically, drop in sales of the existing markets are usually covered by the gains in sales of new markets. This is pretty much a non-ending cycle of entering and exiting new markets.
Increasing number of people joined MLM industry during and post 2008-09 recession with the hope of additional/secondary income but sales dropped as it was difficult to sell (already inflated) products.
- Direct selling retail sales per person was the lowest in 2009, peak of recession
- As the number of people involved in direct selling is increasing, direct sales per person has been on a declining trend
We also included top 55 companies in the US and compared them using a standard template by populating data fields such as key products/services, compensation structure, sales method, geographies, financials, member churn rate, business entry fee, % of sales commission, etc.
USA Podiatry Market High Level OverviewNiraj Singhvi
This report is prepared by Maple Growth Partners, an investment research and strategic advisory firm.
The primary purpose of this quick-turnaround project was to provide a high-level market overview of podiatry practices’ growth prospects and market dynamics in the US. Our client, a US-based healthcare private equity investment professional, was largely interested in understanding the prevailing market trends, growth drivers, and podiatry economics.
Major pointers we highlighted for podiatry industry investment consideration:
- While podiatry overhead expenses has increased significantly, podiatrists are able to pass on the incremental cost to the patient/payer with a year in lag
- Current supply of ~13,000 podiatrists are most likely meeting sufficient portion of the unmet demand and this supply-demand gap will likely diminish going forward
- High student debt will likely inhibit incoming podiatrists to start their own practice and will likely compel them to join a group practice
- Podiatry is a local/regional play as opposed to other limited practitioners such as dentists which is truly a national play
Following trends were presented that influenced the economics of a podiatry practice:
- Gross income and net income for overall types of US podiatry practices have increased in recent years
- Contrary to the market perception, gross income for solo practices in the US has shown signs of decent growth in recent years
- On an overall basis (both solo and group practices) for net income, recently-formed group practices have been driving up the net income range for practices that are less than 10 years old
- They are utilizing new tech to differentiate themselves and to improve the diagnosis and treatment quality
- Podiatrists are looking to utilize assistance of nurse practitioners and physician assistants
- Share of older practices (>30 years) and aging podiatrists (>61 years) has been increasing in recent years
We had also included podiatry transactions in the previous 10 years; one-pager profiles of major competitors; and regulations by states.
USA Pharmacy Benefits Management Market OverviewNiraj Singhvi
This report is prepared by Maple Growth Partners, an investment research and strategic advisory firm.
Our US-based middle-market focused private equity client assigned us to review the pharmacy benefits management sector.
Here, they were largely interested in the broad overview of the sector and addressable market size opportunity for various services segments. In addition to this, we presented overall generic and specialty drug spending trend in the US, along with a detailed discussion on the shift to transparency and PBM rebates.
We also provided a detailed section on how do PBMs make money, segmenting PBM gross profits into five distinct revenue sources. Further, there is an interesting piece of analysis of President Trump’s changing stance on prescription drugs before and after presidency campaign.
Later, we analyzed the competitive intensity within the sector and gathered that top 3 firms account for ~80% market share. In such a highly concentrated industry, we presented our insights on how small or mid-sized firms are sustaining their operations largely by offering specialized services.
We identified ~200 relevant competitors or bolt-on targets across the 21 PBM service segments and provided a detailed one-pager profile for each of them.
This overall 300 pager report is categorized by ~100 page industry overview and ~200 page of company profiles
While the full report is exclusively prepared for the said client, we have provided a gist of our overall analysis to showcase our research capabilities, especially for a niche market such as PBM.
USA Information Security Compliance Market OverviewNiraj Singhvi
This report is prepared by Maple Growth Partners, an investment research and strategic advisory firm.
The project was commissioned by one of our $250mn+ private equity fund client. The primary objective of this report was to provide a market overview of the requested standards within the IT security compliance industry along with their adoption rates by relevant geographies, identification of the most attractive growth pockets globally to scale operations, and a detailed competitive landscape / bolt-on acquisition targets list.
Standards included were PCI; HIPAA; HITRUST; EI3PA; FedRamp; SOC 1 and SOC 2; GDPR; and NYDFS.
As a part of an exercise to identify the most attractive geography pockets for IT security compliance to scale operations globally, we provided a detailed cybersecurity preparedness research for each country to eventually come up with necessary insights to present the most suitable countries to invest in from a US PE portfolio company perspective.
We then screened hundreds of companies and identified 151 relevant competitors / bolt-on acquisition targets and have presented them in a matrix format outlaying their presence across standards along with ownership details in a standardized profile template.
From a PE perspective, we believe that this industry is perfectly positioned for a roll-up strategy. Broadening the scope of solutions offered to sell more to one client, coupled with scalability through cloud adoption and outsourcing the operations/support functions will likely enhance incremental value in the respective target.
While the full report is exclusively prepared for the said client, we have provided a gist of our overall analysis to showcase our research capabilities, especially for a niche market such as IT security compliance.
Indian Art Industry Overview and its Correlation with ChinaNiraj Singhvi
The document provides an overview of the Indian art/paintings industry, including its value chain, current size, growth drivers, market segmentation, and correlation with China. It notes that the Indian art market was estimated to be around 1,460 crore INR in 2017 but has declined in recent years. Two key growth drivers are the increasing number of high net worth individuals in India and rising prices of top-tier artwork. The market can be segmented based on the typical price ranges and artist categories within each range.
Vicinity Jobs’ data includes more than three million 2023 OJPs and thousands of skills. Most skills appear in less than 0.02% of job postings, so most postings rely on a small subset of commonly used terms, like teamwork.
Laura Adkins-Hackett, Economist, LMIC, and Sukriti Trehan, Data Scientist, LMIC, presented their research exploring trends in the skills listed in OJPs to develop a deeper understanding of in-demand skills. This research project uses pointwise mutual information and other methods to extract more information about common skills from the relationships between skills, occupations and regions.

"Does Foreign Direct Investment Negatively Affect Preservation of Culture in the Global South? Case Studies in Thailand and Cambodia."
Do elements of globalization, such as Foreign Direct Investment (FDI), negatively affect the ability of countries in the Global South to preserve their culture? This research aims to answer this question by employing a cross-sectional comparative case study analysis utilizing methods of difference. Thailand and Cambodia are compared as they are in the same region and have a similar culture. The metric of difference between Thailand and Cambodia is their ability to preserve their culture. This ability is operationalized by their respective attitudes towards FDI; Thailand imposes stringent regulations and limitations on FDI while Cambodia does not hesitate to accept most FDI and imposes fewer limitations. The evidence from this study suggests that FDI from globally influential countries with high gross domestic products (GDPs) (e.g. China, U.S.) challenges the ability of countries with lower GDPs (e.g. Cambodia) to protect their culture. Furthermore, the ability, or lack thereof, of the receiving countries to protect their culture is amplified by the existence and implementation of restrictive FDI policies imposed by their governments.
My study abroad in Bali, Indonesia, inspired this research topic as I noticed how globalization is changing the culture of its people. I learned their language and way of life which helped me understand the beauty and importance of cultural preservation. I believe we could all benefit from learning new perspectives as they could help us ideate solutions to contemporary issues and empathize with others.

Impact of Covid-19 on Economic Activity in South East Asia Measured Using
Pollution Index as a Proxy
Analysis of Major Cities in China, South Korea, and Singapore
31 March 2020
Amidst the ongoing global coronavirus pandemic, we were looking for an effective barometer to evaluate economic
activity in the countries that have already implemented restrictive measures to “flatten the curve”. Traditional indicators
proved insufficient as the absence of daily-reporting restricted real-time analysis of economic activity. We settled on
using city/region-wise pollution index as a proxy for economic activity since it is a function of overall movement/
commercial activity and is also reported on a daily basis.
Phase 1: This is just a preliminary attempt to understand the impact/recovery trend in the major cities of these
countries since the virus outbreak reached critical levels here in early February 2020. We intend to undertake a similar
exercise of European and North American countries in the weeks to come.
It is still early days as economies the world over brace themselves to combat the pandemic but we believe continued
analysis could provide useful insights into the extent of economic impact and eventual recovery in the future.
3. 2
• 2020 pollution index levels had largely surpassed or were similar to the previous years data in the first week of
February
• With the outbreak of coronavirus in China in February 2020, Chinese government imposed lockdowns and/or
travel restrictions across various cities to mitigate the risk of local transmission – in line with this, economic
activity reduced considerably and the pollution index declined by ~30-50% by mid February
• Since the beginning of March, there was some evidence in terms of partial economic recovery with an upward
trend in pollution index across most cities
• However, this uptick was largely offset by a steep decline in pollution index in the last week of March
indicating subdued economic activity as of now
• We covered the capital cities of the provinces in China with most confirmed cases. Wuhan (Hubei – account
for ~81% share of total confirmed cases in China); Guangzhou (Guangdon – 1.7% share); Luoyang (Henan –
1.6% share); Hangzhou (Zhejiang – 1.5% share); Changsha (Hunan – 1.3% share)

Possible strong economic
recovery
Similar to the previous years’ levels, followed by a
marginal uptick and then a steep decline
10. 9
• 2020 pollution index was high at the start of February as compared to the corresponding period of previous
years
• However, with the outbreak of Covid-19 in mid February in South Korea, pollution index started declining
drastically. By the end of February, pollution index decreased by ~50-60%
• Since the beginning of March, when situation was largely getting in control, pollution index started to show an
ascending trend and largely returned back to the previous years’ levels in the mid week of March, with a delta
of ~10-20%
• However, this uptick in mid March wasn’t sustainable and these cities witnessed a steep decline of ~15%-25%
in pollution index in the last week of March across South Korea
• We covered Daegu, Busan, and Seoul primarily because these are the top three cities in South Korea with
highest population and most likely with high number of cases since the country is quite small and local
transmission can be high in densely populated cities

about the respective major industries
15. 14
• 2020 pollution index levels were largely high in the first week of February comparatively
• Through the end of February, pollution index was marginally impacted (10%-20% range) primarily due to the
outbreak of virus in mid February and reduced travel and tourism activity
• Index was recovered marginally in the first two weeks of March and situation seemed to have largely been in
control
• However, the virus impact in Singapore was primarily felt in the second half of March with the pollution index
going down by ~25-40% through the end of March, indicating a possible subdued economic activity
• We covered the whole of Singapore here, diving the country in five regions – north, south, east, west, central.
