Kantar Partners to Study Indian Trends

Kantar-owned global trend research consultancy The Futures Company (TFC) has partnered with sister firm TNS to serve multinational and local clients in India.

TFC, which was formed in 2008 through the merger of Henley Centre HeadlightVision and Yankelovich, explores the future needs, motivations and behaviours of consumers, and the broader dynamics in the marketplace.

Through the alliance, TFC will partner with the TNS Consult team to support client work in India, while TNS India will be able to offer its clients the full range of foresight and futures services developed by TFC.

'I am excited that two strong Kantar companies will partner together to bring more value to our clients,' states Neerja Wable, CEO of TNS India and Sri Lanka. 'The exchange of knowledge and ideas will also be very stimulating for us.'

Will Galgey, Global CEO of TFC, adds that the partnership will strengthen his firm's ability to serve clients who are looking to develop strategies for future success in India.
