Mystery shopping (also called secret shopping or hidden audits) is a market research method where trained evaluators pose as normal customers to assess service quality, compliance with SOPs, product knowledge, staff behaviour, and overall customer experience. This unbiased feedback helps brands troubleshoot service gaps, improve customer satisfaction, and refine operational standards.
In India’s increasingly competitive retail and service market, mystery shopping has become an essential tool for businesses across sectors — from retail outlets and restaurants to banks, hotels, and healthcare facilities.
