Built on evidence. Driven by impact.

GRMCS is a leading research & consultancy firm based in Bangladesh, with over 14 years of experience delivering data-driven research and solutions across market research & consumer insights, public health, climate change, ecology, agriculture, education, protection, gender, RMG, and livelihood sectors, including humanitarian contexts, taxation, audit & advisory.

We also possess strong expertise in designing training curricula, facilitating training, and developing diverse policies for development partners.

Our Story

Founded in 2012 in Dhaka, GRM Consulting Services Limited (GRMCS) was established on a simple conviction: better decisions begin with better evidence. What began as a small team of researchers focused on social and development studies has grown into one of Bangladesh's most trusted full-service research and consultancy firms.

Over the past decade we have completed more than 500 research and evaluation assignments for UN agencies, bilateral donors, international NGOs, government bodies and leading private-sector clients. Our portfolio spans baseline and endline studies, impact evaluations, large-scale household and facility surveys, nationwide market trackers, KAP studies, formative research, policy reviews and rapid assessments in humanitarian contexts.

Today GRMCS operates across all 64 districts of Bangladesh, supported by a deep bench of senior PhDs, sector specialists, methodologists, statisticians, qualitative researchers and more than 1,000 trained field enumerators. We invest continuously in our digital data systems, quality controls and field-management protocols so that every dataset we deliver is one our clients can defend, publish and act on.

We believe research should not sit on shelves. Our work is designed to inform strategy, shape policy and improve the lives of the communities we study.
