Insights
Sector intelligence and benchmarking for India
See how a company really stacks up against its peers
Infyner Insights turns 23 million Indian company filings into sector dashboards, peer benchmarks, startup-funding intelligence and side-by-side company comparisons. Built for analysts, investors, M&A teams, founders and competitive-intelligence groups who need to know what is happening in a sector without buying three different data tools.
Why this exists
Sector intelligence in India is either expensive or stale
If you want it expensive, the global brands sell access for INR 12-30 lakh a year. If you want it cheap, you scrape MCA21 yourself and discover three months later that the data lacks the cuts you actually need. Most analysts settle into a middle ground - a half-built Excel sheet, a Tofler subscription, a Tracxn login from someone in the team, and a lot of manual stitching to answer any sector question. The week that ought to go into the thesis goes into making the data presentable.
Infyner Insights is the third option. The data engine is the same one that powers our company-profile pages, so the underlying records are already verified and live. The dashboards are built for the questions Indian analysts actually ask - sector by NIC, peer set by revenue band, geographic cut by ROC and state, funding aggregated from PAS-3 and FC-GPR. Pricing is for SMEs and small funds, not just for the global names.
In plain words
What Infyner Insights actually does
Infyner Insights is a hosted analytics product on top of the Infyner data engine. The engine ingests every audited financial statement filed with MCA, every funding round visible through PAS-3 and RBI FC-GPR, every EPFO contribution that proxies for headcount, and every public-record signal that sits around them - charges, related-party transactions, litigation hits, ROC compliance hygiene. The dashboards turn that into sector views, startup intelligence, peer benchmarks and side-by-side comparisons.
Two consumer types. Analysts and bankers use the console - point, click, filter, export to PDF or PPTX. Engineering teams in larger firms subscribe to the data tier and pull the underlying datasets into their own BI - Tableau, PowerBI, Looker - via the API or a daily SFTP drop. Both share the same source pipelines and the same source attribution.
The boring infrastructure is in the background. We keep up with the data sources - MCA21 schema changes, RBI advisory updates, EPFO ECR format revisions - so the dashboards keep working. You spend the time on the thesis, the deck, the call, the deal.
What you can actually look at
Every dashboard you would otherwise build in Excel
Each module below is a pre-built view over the same data engine that powers Infyner company profiles. No Excel, no manual stitching, no Tofler-vs-Tracxn licensing decision.
Sector dashboards
Pick a sector (or a sub-sector at the NIC 4-digit level). See total entities, growth in incorporations, average revenue, profitability distribution, top players by market share, geographic distribution, and the five-year revenue trajectory of the leaders.
Startup intelligence
Funding rounds aggregated from MCA filings, RBI ECB filings and Crunchbase-style trackers. Filter by sector, stage, ticket size, and lead investor. Founder networks are mapped from director cross-holdings.
Peer benchmarking
Build a peer set from your own list or auto-generate one by sector + revenue band + region. See revenue, EBITDA, RoCE, debt-equity, employee count, and growth percentiles across the set. Export as CSV for the next deck.
Side-by-side company comparison
Pick any two or three companies and see them column-by-column - financials over five years, director overlap, charges with the same lender, GST filing regularity, MCA compliance hygiene.
Geographic and ROC dashboards
Sector activity by state, district and ROC. Useful when picking a fulfilment city, a sales-team-deployment plan or a regulatory-strategy view.
FDI and ECB tracker
Foreign direct investment and external commercial borrowing flows aggregated from RBI public filings. Useful for sector heat-map analysis and for boards looking at offshore funding trends.
How it works
Pick a sector, get a deck
Pick the cut
Sector by NIC code, region, ROC or your own peer-set CSV. Combine cuts (e.g. SaaS in Bengaluru with revenue between INR 50 and 250 crore) with one click.
Read the dashboard
Headline numbers up top, distribution charts in the middle, top-N table at the bottom. Every chart is annotated so you know what 'revenue' actually means in this context (consolidated, standalone, audited, latest available).
Export the deck
PDF for the board, PPTX for the partner, CSV for the analyst. Every export carries Infyner's source attribution and the cut definition so reviewers can replicate the slice.
Who it is for
Whom we built this for
Free first sector report. Plans from INR 4,999 per month.
Single sector + 5 saved peer sets from INR 4,999 per month. Multi-sector + 25 saved peer sets from INR 14,999. Data subscription tier (raw data via API or SFTP) starts at INR 49,999 per month - quoted on use.
Trust and security
Where the numbers come from
MCA financials, audited
Revenue, profit, EBITDA, balance-sheet items come from the audited financials filed in AOC-4. Standalone and consolidated views are clearly distinguished.
Funding from primary filings
Funding rounds verified against ROC return of allotment (PAS-3) plus RBI FC-GPR / FC-TRS filings, not just press-release scrapes.
EPFO for employee proxies
Headcount and headcount-trend signals come from EPFO contribution counts. Useful for hiring-momentum analysis and for verifying claims in pitches.
Quarterly refresh
Sector dashboards are refreshed at the end of every quarter; ad-hoc cuts pull live from the data engine. Last-refresh timestamp is on every chart.
FAQ
Common questions from analysts and bankers
NIC 4-digit. So 'manufacture of pharmaceuticals' (2100) drills down into 'manufacture of basic pharmaceutical products' (2100) and 'manufacture of pharmaceutical preparations' (2100). Custom peer sets bypass the NIC tree if you have a different definition of the sector.
Yes. Every Indian Pvt Ltd company files audited financials with MCA. We extract them and keep the latest seven years per company. Some smaller companies file in XBRL with limited detail; for those we show what the schema permits and flag the limitation.
The most recent reported FY for every company. Indian companies file AOC-4 within 30 days of AGM, so the latest available data is typically FY ending 12-18 months ago. Listed companies report quarterly to the exchanges - that data feeds into Insights with a lag of 5-15 days.
Three-source verification: (1) ROC return of allotment under Form PAS-3 - the legal record of new share issuance; (2) RBI FC-GPR / FC-TRS for foreign-investor allocations; (3) press releases and Crunchbase-style trackers as a sanity check. We surface only deals where at least one primary source confirms.
Yes. Every dashboard exports as a board-ready PDF or as an editable PPTX. The PPTX preserves the chart objects so your team can re-skin to your house style.
For companies that file EPF returns, yes - we surface the EPFO contribution count as a proxy for active-employee headcount. The trend (3-month, 12-month) is often the real signal. Companies without EPF filings (very small or service-only) do not have this signal.
Either auto-generated by sector + revenue band + region, or custom by uploading a CSV of CINs. The benchmark set then shows median, p25, p75 and your-position-vs-set on every metric. Useful for board decks and for performance reviews.
Functionally close. The differences: Insights is built on top of the same primary-source pipelines that power Infyner Verify and the API, so the underlying data is identical to what the verification side serves. Pricing is more SME-friendly. The interface is built for India - NIC codes, ROC cuts, state heat-maps - not retrofitted from a global product.
Yes. Each plan includes a base seat count; additional seats are charged per user per month. Team views (saved peer sets, watchlists, exported decks) are shared across the workspace. Individual users keep private notes if they want.
The data subscription tier returns the underlying datasets via the Infyner API or as a daily SFTP drop, in your choice of CSV or Parquet. Useful when your team already runs Tableau, PowerBI or Looker and wants to merge with internal data.
