MRSS India Buys Stake in EMTEE Research

Full service agency MRSS INDIA has acquired a majority stake in New Delhi-based digital MR specialist EMTEE Research and Consultants. Terms of the deal were not disclosed.

EMTEE Research was founded by former Nielsen exec Mukund Tripathi, who worked for the company for more than eleven years, and most recently served as its Head of Retail Measurement Services in Malaysia. During his time with the firm, he was also its Country Head for Bangladesh and Sri Lanka Retail Measurement Services, as well as its Director of Client Solutions.
