Igor Lokhmakov

Co-founder, SunPay

Between 2019 and 2021, we worked with Indeso on three financial-sector projects: securing a license for a financial company in Hong Kong, obtaining a banking license in Saint Kitts and Nevis, and updating internal company documents to meet Canadian regulatory standards. Although we had hands-on experience in running similar businesses, we preferred not to get involved in the bureaucratic process of document preparation, submission, and regulatory communications.

Olga Mazure

Licensing Specialist

Eagle BNX Limited approached Indeso to develop internal procedures for the company, preparing to submit documents for a European payment license. The documents were fully compliant with regulatory requirements and delivered on time, without delays. Working with Tatyana was a true pleasure — communication was effortless, tasks were easily understood, and responses were fast and efficient. This isn’t our first project with Indeso, and we look forward to continuing our collaboration in the future.

Aislu Babakanova

Head of start-up department

Siberian Wellness Corporation operates in 65 countries worldwide, and marketing research in target countries is a key part of our strategic planning. We have been partnering with Indeso for several years on multiple key markets. Southeast Asia is strategically important to us, and we have received detailed market studies from Indeso on Malaysia, Indonesia, and the Philippines. This information helped us identify priority markets, select one, and start operations in a SEA country.
Currently, we are relaunching our business in India, and Indeso provided thorough insights on critical factors for market entry, such as business model, entry strategy, and more. In South Korea, we have a long-standing collaboration with Indeso on audience segment research, hypothesis validation, and competitor comparisons across several product categories. Several other markets are also under discussion.
I would like to sincerely thank the entire Indeso team for their effective collaboration and the consistently high-quality materials that meet our requirements.

Svetlana Novikova

Founder, Luxstroy A

I am thoroughly impressed with Indeso’s services, particularly Tatyana Kovpak’s dedication. She responded to my emails and requests promptly and professionally, and went above and beyond in promoting our company. Special thanks to Tatyana for her professionalism, friendliness, and commitment to achieving the best possible results. I highly recommend Indeso and am confident that the team’s devotion to every client’s success will be a great advantage for all of their customers.

Oksana Scott

Founder and director of a trading company in Singapore

In the first quarter of 2022, Singapore Pte Ltd partnered with Indeso for market analysis and research to support their wholesale alcohol and wine business in Singapore and the Asia-Pacific region. The work was of high quality, highly useful, and delivered on time — completed in under two weeks. Tatyana effectively presented all key market metrics, competitor insights, and situational trends, and provided an in-depth consultation on the next steps for business growth based on her expertise. I strongly recommend her — working with Tatyana turns the process into a smooth and enjoyable experience.
