 Amit Adarkar, CEO, Ipsos India speaking on the development said, “Our Client First approach ensures that despite being among the top 3 MR firms in India and around the world, we provide our clients with small agency kind of attentiveness and counsel. “Accessibility of senior staff to clients is extremely critical. It also sends a tacit message that your work is our priority too.”

 Vivek Gupta, MD (Research) who is responsible for Mumbai and Bengaluru business further elaborated, “Both Mall and Doshi come with rich experience and sectoral expertise. Our endeavor is to provide our clients access to specialists as opposed to generalists, thus further strengthening our servicing capabilities in these focused geographies.”
