INT Consultants Pvt. Limited was found with the vision to provide various services to clients based on impeccable research on subjects including but not limited to conflict, political economy and geopolitics in the region with emphasis on utilising primary sources and thorough methodologies.
Over time, the company has also come up with a flagship product that has a noticable digital presence under its subsidiary The Khorasan Diary to democratise information by releasing it in the public domain via multiple platforms. The Khorasan Diary also provides subscriptions and monetised services for clients who want to look beyond what is visible in the mainstream media.
The company also owns TTrack, a product that is under-development, which utilises big data and artificial intelligence to predict patterns, divergences and convergences of conflict overall as well as that of the players involved. Once fully developed, the platform will be a one-stop-shop for universities, research institutes, think tanks, public and private companies, and policy bodies to track violence, both at granular levels as well as at a regional level.
