As someone who generally keep doing market research on different products and companies. I have learned survey are the least effective way of doing research bcz most of the time user don't fill survey or those who do fill are just filling it for the sake of person asking them to fill the survey which generally not very effective. So what to do? Find people whom you consider to be your customers in future. Reachout them and just talk regarding them asking various questions not just yes/no but open ended questions. This is the best method of doing research it's take lot of time and efforts but gives the best result also.

For B2B products, I've found joining relevant Slack/Discord communities incredibly useful for gauging demand and customer voices, also linkedin

Best is talking to existing users/customers

Bhai, free trial lo apne product ka. Let people experience it and give you direct feedback before scaling up. Best market research possible.

I'd recommend competitive analysis as one of the first steps. Thorough study of existing players, their strengths/weaknesses and any gaps in the market
