We independently assessed ninety-nine India-based Data & Analytics firms on rate intelligence and scored them on delivery quality — talent input, delivery track record, organizational capability, retention, domain depth, and risk. No supplier participated, was consulted, or paid for inclusion. This is less than half of our full dataset: Holmes tracks over two hundred firms for this category alone.
The findings challenge assumptions most procurement teams hold. The four highest-value suppliers are all boutique specialists. Every Big 4 firm and every WITCH firm delivers less value per dollar than the top boutique. Roughly one in ten firms scores below our quality threshold.
- Rate ↔ quality correlation of just 0.47
- The four best-value firms are all boutiques
- Two Big 4 firms sit in the lowest-value quadrant
- ~1 in 10 firms below the quality threshold
