What MIRIM Consultant does

MIRIM Consultant LLC is a Ulaanbaatar-headquartered management consulting and market research firm founded in 2013, operating across Mongolia with field reach covering all 21 aimags and 280+ soums. The firm delivers four interlocking service lines: research (market, business, economic, election, and export studies), management and business consulting (strategic, financial, marketing, and investment planning), training and coaching (research methodology, business administration, HR), and data management anchored by the proprietary INGUMEL cloud-based plagiarism and intellectual-property authenticity-checking platform. Research and analysis work accounts for approximately 70% of organizational activity, with services delivered directly by a team of 8 full-time employees, 30+ specialist consultants, and 10+ contract workers spanning sociology, economics, finance, modeling, marketing, and IT disciplines.

The business operates a sales-led, project-based consulting model targeting government agencies, large Mongolian enterprises (banking, telecom, mining, automotive, electricity distribution, healthcare), SMEs and cooperatives, and international development organizations (World Bank, ADB, EBRD, JICA, GIZ, FAO, Asia Foundation, Caritas Czech Republic, People in Need). Revenue is generated primarily through custom project fees, with select multilateral engagements delivered under cost-sharing arrangements (e.g., EBRD SME advisor roster) and INGUMEL offered as a standalone subscription platform. MIRIM is ISO 9001:2015 certified since 2021, holds no disclosed external institutional investment, and is affiliated with IRIM (Independent Research Institute of Mongolia) through shared leadership and joint project execution.
