Amit Adarkar, CEO, Ipsos India is highly bullish on the foray, “Clients are on the rebound and are hard-pressed for time to conduct market research; Ipsos Digital provides them a combination of an AI platform based, end-to-end automated online data collection, analysis & dashboarding system with best professional expertise from Ipsos – the world’s most innovative market research organization (GRIT 2020). Ipsos Digital crunches the entire process to 24-48 hours, facilitating agile research. We are committed to bringing multiple products via Ipsos Digital platform to India, where traditional face-to-face data collection accounted for 95% of how market research was done in India, before the pandemic. And I’m pleased to announce the launch of our first digital tool of Fast Facts, which is extensively being used by Ipsos clients across geographies and we are now making it accessible to our clients in India."

Conventional face-to-face research continues to be our mainstay, but we are looking forward to transforming the industry by bringing in cutting edge technology to our clients," clarified Adarkar.

Clients design their own questionnaires using AI, choose from a pre-loaded list of categories and they even pay online, so all the processes are streamlined with no human interface or with Ipsos expert assistance, on demand or from regular client facing teams,” said Vincy Jathanna, executive director, observer & champion Fast Facts, Ipsos India.
