What Chase India does

Chase India, rebranded to Chase Advisors in 2025, is an APAC-focused research and public policy consulting firm headquartered in New Delhi, with a regional office in Malaysia. Founded in 2011, the firm operates as a subsidiary of We. Communications and is integrated with the broader We./Avian We./FIPRA International network, giving it cross-border public affairs delivery capability across India, ASEAN, and global markets.

The firm's core offerings span policy monitoring, research, multi-stakeholder outreach, advocacy, and crisis management. It serves three primary client segments: private sector companies (including a named engagement with a leading e-commerce player on policy risk mitigation), NGOs and global foundations (including work with a global healthcare foundation on human trafficking initiatives), and state government partnerships. The underlying deliverable is expert advisory - regulatory analysis, stakeholder mapping, government engagement strategy, and communications support around policy issues - rather than any technology platform or productized software.

The business model is project-based and retainer consulting, with revenue generated from professional fees billed against engagement scope. Go-to-market relies on the firm's accumulated regulatory relationships, the credibility of senior practitioners, and cross-sell via the parent We. Communications network. With 61 employees across India and Malaysia and no disclosed pricing or financial data, the firm operates as a mid-sized specialist within the broader We. Communications APAC platform rather than as a scaled independent consultancy.
