Our Story

3i-s Research was born in 2008 from a vision to revolutionize the market 
research industry in Indonesia. Founded by Gunawanto Tamawidjaja, our 
company started with a simple yet powerful idea: businesses need more than 
just data – they need actionable insights that drive real change.

“The important thing is not to stop questioning. Curiosity has
its own reason for existing. One cannot help but be in awe
when he contemplates the mysteries of eternity, of life, of the
marvelous structure of reality.”

Albert Einstein

The name ‘3i-s’ embodies our
core philosophy

Our Philosophy

Our Believes

Intuitive Research

3i-s Research use a wide and varying range of approaches and tools in their work, but are not guided by methodologies. More than anything they apply their own intuition and experience to any research problem. Research should be enabling, it should inspire. It should not be thought of as a consumer arbitration process.

Insightful Thinking

Research without thinking is at best superficial, and at worst dangerous. 3i-s Research professionals work through consumer response, looking at where that response comes from, and what it means for brands going forward. Their language skills and backgrounds contribute to a world view taking cultural relativism as given; this leads to marketing solutions that understand cultural idiosyncrasies, while looking to the big idea which gives a brand its force.
