2. How is M3 India and Select Opinion collaborating?

As of April 2025, M3 India has joined forces with Select Opinion – our sister company. This partnership enables us to provide M3 India members with access to a wider range of paid market research opportunities.

Select Opinion has its own website where healthcare professionals can create an account to join the research panel and access paid surveys, among other paid opportunities. Due to our partnership, M3 has now opened its panel to doctors in India!

To be able to access paid surveys and other paid opportunities, you’ll need an Select Opinion account.

3. Why do I need an Select Opinion account when I already have an M3 India Account?

Because the Select Opinion platform features a modern interface and is equipped with high-tech tools such as a ‘Digital Wallet’ and ‘Survey Dashboard,’ we have decided to move all survey opportunities from the M3 India website to the Select Opinion website.

To access paid surveys moving forward, you’ll need to create an Select Opinion account and verify your identity and medical profession when signing up. Some members of M3 India have received an email with an invitation to set up their account more quickly than the general registration process.

4. How do I create an Select Opinion account?

There are two ways to create an Select Opinion account if you are an M3 India member:

You may have received an email with a direct invitation to set up your account, with the email subject line: Log in to your new Select Opinion account.

If this is the case, we have helped you set up your account by transferring your M3 India account details to the Select Opinion website to make the process quicker for you.

The only thing you need to do is follow the link in the email and create a password to access your new account. You will not need to provide all your contact or professional details, as they have been safely transferred from your M3 India account.
If you did not receive this email, it means you are not a verified M3 India member or we were missing some data to complete the transfer on our end.

If you want to create an account and access paid surveys, you will need to follow the general registration process by signing up as a member here. You’ll also need to get verified, meaning you must verify your identity and medical profession, in order to access paid surveys and receive payments via the Digital Wallet.

5. Is my personal data safe?

Yes, your personal data is safe. Select Opinion is an ISO-certified company that follows industry data protection standards and adheres to both local and international laws. Your data is never shared or sold to anyone. Your personal details are protected, and your participation in market research studies is always anonymous, unless written consent is given to share the results in an anonymous way.

If your M3 India account details were transferred to the Select Opinion website, they were handled with end-to-end encryption and strict safety protocols.

You can read M3’s Privacy Policy here.

6. How do I get verified at Select Opinion?

When you sign up the standard way as an Select Opinion member, you will be asked to confirm your identity by uploading your ID and scanning your face through a safe verification tool called Yoti. You’ll also be asked to provide proof of your current profession. You can see the step-by-step process here and read more about why panel members need to be verified.

7. How do I get paid for taking part in market research studies or other paid opportunities with Select Opinion?

When you participate in paid market research studies or other paid opportunities, you will be paid through a Digital Wallet called the Wallet. The Wallet is accessible when you log into your Select Opinion account. You must be a verified M3 member to access paid opportunities and request payments through the Wallet.

All payments are processed in INR. In the Wallet, you can select a payment option that suits you. Please be aware that it can take up to two business days for the payments to be processed.

8. Why can I no longer earn points via M3 India website?

As per 1 January 2025, you are no longer be able to collect points on the M3 India site, as all paid opportunities have now been moved over to Select Opinion.

9. What happened to my points collected in 2024? Can I redeem them?

All points collected on the M3 India website during 2024, and not yet redeemed, will be transferred to the Select Opinion platform, as all payments will be processed through the Wallet moving forward.

If you collected 250 or more points in your M3 India account prior to April 2025, your points have been converted to INR (250 points equals 100 INR) and transferred to the Wallet, where you have multiple payment options.

As per M3 India’s usual policy, we require you to be a verified member before redeeming points. Since your points have been moved to the Wallet, you must now verify your profession as a doctor on the Select Opinion site before you can request payments through the Wallet.

10. What happens to my M3 India account?

Your M3 India account at www.m3india.in will function as normal, except for the ‘Paid Market Research Survey’ section, which will be moved to the Select Opinion website with exciting new features.

As usual, we will continue to deliver high-quality medical content, such as medical articles written by doctors, medical news, daily quizzes, short videos, and monthly webinars and vodcasts featuring Indian doctors and medical experts.
