COST BENCHMARKING

India's first free cost benchmarking for companies of every size.

Comparing costs with peers used to be something only big companies could do. tDoBe puts your sector's published numbers side by side with your peers — no audits, no jargon, just clear facts you can act on.

"Every company sets its own budget. Almost none of them know how it compares to everyone else's. That's the gap tDoBe closes."

Why this exists

Getting a real picture of how you compare to competitors usually means months of work and a large consulting bill. We built tDoBe to get you the same clarity in weeks, at a fraction of the cost.

Built for every company, not just the largest

Any company in any of our 58 sectors can use our free Think report — you don't need to pay for a research subscription to see it.

No audits, no complicated language

We show you what your own published numbers say, next to your peers. Your team decides what to do next — we're not the ones telling you what to do.

Fast and focused, not a big audit

Consulting engagements focus only on the cost categories you choose — not a sweep through every category.

What We Benchmark

We sort every cost line by what it actually means — not by whatever label a company used for it — so every sector follows the same, consistent framework.

tDoBe cost framework board A framework board diagram showing 12 core Other-Expenses categories in a navy grid and 4 firm-level categories in a gold row beneath, inside a single bordered panel titled tDoBe Cost Framework. tDoBe Cost Framework CORE OTHER-EXPENSES CATEGORIES 12 Rent & Occupancy Repairs & Maintenance Power & Fuel / Utilities Legal & Professional Fees Travel & Conveyance Advertising & Sales Promotion Insurance Communication Printing & Stationery Corporate Social Responsibility Freight, Distribution & Logistics Miscellaneous / Others FIRM-LEVEL CATEGORIES 4 Employee Cost Headcount Manpower Supply / Contract Labour Royalty & Brand / Technical Fees

Coverage note: We added 4 more categories in 2026, and we're adding them to each sector as we go. Some reports and sector pages still show only the original 12 — we always mention this where it applies.

Frequently Asked Questions

Straight answers to what people ask before starting a Report or Consulting engagement.

Who are we?

We're tDoBe. We check if a company's "Other Expenses" — a messy cost line most businesses never really examine — is normal or too high, by comparing it to similar companies. No one else does this properly, so this cost usually just gets ignored without a way to check it.

What does a company achieve from this?

They find out exactly how their costs compare to similar companies, category by category. If costs are higher, we show where and by how much. If costs are lower, we tell them if that's genuine efficiency or under-spending — like too little on marketing. Either way, real numbers to act on, not a guess.

How do you arrive at the tDoBe Average?

We line up every peer company's cost as a % of revenue and take the middle number — not a plain average that one extreme company could skew. That middle number is the tDoBe Average.

What tools do you use / where's your data from?

None, on purpose. We read each company's own official, audited annual report and manually sort hundreds of cost line items into consistent categories ourselves — nothing pulled from a database or third-party summary.

How much does this cost?

Think is free. Report is $999. Consulting is $4,999 for a 7-day deep dive using your own ledgers.

What's the difference between Think, Report, and Consulting?

Think is free and shows the sector average only — no company named. Report puts your company's numbers next to that average, category by category. Consulting goes deeper, working from your own ledgers.

What if I disagree with your numbers?

We show our work — which categories, which filings, which line items went where. If something looks off, we'll walk through the source numbers with you.
