Why us, why now
Dutta Walker Research was founded on the premise that not all information is meaningful. In fact, we believe (and studies have proven) that most information is either false, of little value or arrives to late to have any meaningful impact. We take pride in distilling massive amounts of information down to thoughtful analysis that is not only relevant, but also timely and actionable for our clients. We focus on macro economics as well as company specific analysis in only technology, media and telecom. We do not propose to be experts in all sectors or industries. Our core expertise has been developed over 28 years of experience in these select sectors of the economy.
