HARCO is a registered Research and Development Consultancy Organisation under Companies Act of 1956. HARCO was set up in 1994 by a team of experienced, eminent and young professionals with a capability to provide a wide range of research and consultancy services in the areas like Social Science, Project and Programme Evaluations and Market Research.

To gather and spread knowledge providing quality service, authentic information, and effective consultancy are the primary objectives of HARCO.

The complexities of the Development Process have given rise to the need for unbiased understanding of the social setting and authentic information before intervention. The motto of HARCO is to equip the policy makers and the implementers with the knowledge of the space specific socio-cultural dynamics for successful operation of Development Programmes.

Due to high competition risks and the growing product failures in the emerging Globalised Indian Economy, the Corporate Managers, Businessmen, Advertising Professionals and Policy planners are fast shifting their dependence from "gut-feel" qualitative- based information to quantitative "Research Base" information for their decision making, creating a demand for authentic and actionable information.
