AI is creating an opportunity to move from fragmented research and point-in-time insights towards systems that learn continuously and help teams make decisions much faster. Our Navi Mumbai centre will be an important part of building that future. We see India not simply as a delivery location, but as a strategic product and AI hub where teams can help shape the technologies that will define the next generation of market research. Over the coming years, we intend to build deep capabilities here across AI, engineering and product development while creating opportunities for teams in India to work on technology with global impact."
