Company Spotlight
NEW DELHI - Claight India Private Limited, the Indian subsidiary of global market intelligence firm Claight Corporation, has been named a finalist for the MRSI Golden Key Awards 2026, widely regarded as the most coveted recognition in India’s research and insights industry. The nomination follows a first-of-its-kind nationwide dark spot identification study in which Claight’s research teams surveyed more than 2,400 kilometres of Indian roads and flagged over 340 high-risk zones plagued by poor lighting, missing signage, and dangerous road geometry.
The 7th edition of the Golden Key Awards, organised by the Market Research Society of India (MRSI), is scheduled to take place on March 6, 2026, in Mumbai. The annual ceremony recognises research work that has made a demonstrable contribution to business growth, public policy, or social impact, and being shortlisted places Claight India among a select group of organisations operating at the frontier of India’s research ecosystem.

Dark spots, stretches of road characterised by absent or inadequate street lighting, poor reflective infrastructure, and elevated accident frequency, remain one of India’s most persistent road safety challenges. While government agencies have previously identified thousands of such hazard zones across national highways, granular, independently verified field data has remained scarce.
Claight India’s study set out to bridge that gap. Researchers traversed a corridor of over 2,400 kilometres, collecting geospatial data, conducting on-site risk assessments, and documenting infrastructure deficiencies at each location. The result: a verified database of more than 340 dark spots, each classified by severity and accompanied by specific remediation recommendations, from improved lighting installations and crash barriers to road geometry corrections and pedestrian safety upgrades.
The findings have already drawn interest from infrastructure agencies and road safety advocacy groups looking for actionable, evidence-based inputs to guide remediation budgets and policy decisions, demonstrating the power of rigorous, field-based market research in addressing real-world challenges beyond traditional commercial applications.

Claight serves some of the world’s top companies, including Fortune 500 corporations, across sectors ranging from automotive and chemicals to healthcare, food and beverage, energy, aerospace, and pharmaceuticals.
The firm has sustained an annual growth rate of over 40 per cent, driven by its unwavering focus on actionable intelligence, technology-enabled research platforms, and a client-first service model that spans syndicated studies, bespoke consulting, data analytics, and IP strategy.

Claight’s operational model is engineered for seamless global coverage.

The MRSI Golden Key Awards nomination signals a broader evolution in how India’s market research industry is contributing to society. Companies like Claight are demonstrating that research can move well beyond quarterly forecasts and boardroom presentations to address issues of genuine public concern, in this case, the persistent road safety crisis that claims over 150,000 lives annually across India.
For Claight, the recognition also marks its emergence as a diversified, global research and consulting enterprise capable of executing complex, field-intensive projects with measurable real-world impact. With the Golden Key Awards ceremony set for March 6 in Mumbai, the industry will be watching closely to see if Claight India’s dark spot study claims one of the night’s highest honours.
