The Research World (Threws)

What The Research World (Threws) does

The Research World (Threws), legally Strengthen Educational Welfare Society, is a Delhi-based research support and academic networking organization founded in 2013. It is registered under India's Society Registration Act, 1860 as a nonprofit foundation and operates with a five-person team. Threws runs three primary lines of business: paid academic services for students (research paper writing at Rs.40,000 and UG/PG projects at Rs.40,000 discounted from Rs.99,999), the annual International Conference on Sustainable Development (ICSD) — a Scopus-indexed conference on ML, AI, and IoT whose proceedings are published by Springer in the CCIS series — and a selective fellowship and membership program with an acceptance rate below 5%. Supporting assets include Threws Communities and Threws Societies platforms, quarterly newsletters, the Threws Talk multimedia series, and Collaboration Projects that link researchers globally.

The technology underlying Threws is primarily organizational rather than software-based: a WordPress website (threws.com) handles service purchases, conference registrations, and member onboarding, with EasyChair and Google Forms integrating submission workflows. There are no proprietary software products, APIs, or patents. Revenue mechanics span one-time service fees, pay-as-you-go conference registrations tiered by participant type (USD 200-500 international; Rs.7,500-9,500 Indian), recurring annual membership subscriptions, and content publishing.

Go-to-market is community-led and event-driven: the annual ICSD conference and the fellowship funnel act as primary acquisition channels, supplemented by content marketing (blogs, newsletters, podcasts), organic social (LinkedIn, Facebook, Twitter, YouTube), and academic partnerships — most notably with Springer Nature for proceedings and with Vivekananda Institute of Professional Studies (VIPS-TC) in New Delhi as the conference venue. Threws positions itself as a global research community serving students, researchers, academicians, and industry professionals across India, Australia, and the US.

• IEEE: IEEE is the largest technical professional society, running flagship conferences, publications, and member societies globally. The ICSD conference directly overlaps with IEEE's ML, AI, and IoT conference portfolio and SAARC IEEE members are explicitly priced into Threws' conference.
