Patel has spent fourteen years at the firm, leading trends and cultural insights engagements with a broad set of clients, as well as heading up the company's global thought leadership program on health and wellness.

Hirebet worked previously as a copywriter, youth consultant, ethnographer and trend consultant in China and Singapore, most recently leading Asia Pacific business for trendwatching.com .

Stephane Alpern, MD of The Futures Company in Asia Pacific comments, 'with the addition of Radha and Tara our team is now ideally positioned to help companies across Asia-Pacific develop robust growth plans and recommend immediate action that will enable them to shape the future and get ahead of competition.'
