Ebiquity Plc
New office launch in India
Ebiquity plc ("Ebiquity" or the "Company"), a world leader in
media investment analysis, announces the opening of a new office in
Gurgaon, India, in response to the significant growth in the Indian
advertising market. The office builds on the presence of
FirmDecisions, Ebiquity's contract compliance specialist business,
which has been operating in Mumbai since March 2017.
India is among the fastest-growing advertising markets in the
world and expected to attain 9(th) rank in overall ad spending by
the end of 2021. Ad spend in India is forecast to grow by 23.2%*,
and Digital is expected to grow by 28%* by the end of this
year.
India's digital transformation is moving at a rapid pace, and
Ebiquity recognises the need to have a strategic local presence to
support current and new clients.
Reflecting on the significant growth in the Indian market,
Ebiquity has appointed Sandeep Srivastava as the Managing Director
of its India office, responsible for its expansion in the market.
Sandeep brings more than two decades of media management experience
across agencies, as well as media consulting. In his previous
14-year position with Accenture's media management practice, he
developed its offerings in new and emerging markets, besides
India.
Sandeep's experience and expertise in the media and marketing
industry will prove invaluable to clients looking for greater
transparency and accountability of their media investments.
Sandeep Khewle continues to lead FirmDecisions, and the Ebiquity
Group will offer Media Management, Media Performance, and Contract
Compliance services to optimise clients' media investments in the
region.
Nick Waters, Group Chief Executive Officer, said:
"I am delighted that Ebiquity is now entering India, following
the successful launch of FirmDecisions several years ago. India is
one of the most exciting and complex media markets in the world
with a strong track record of growth over the past 20 years, and
many years of high growth ahead. We see a tremendous opportunity to
help our clients eliminate waste and create value from their media
investments to achieve better business outcomes."
Sandeep Srivastava, Managing Director India, said:
"I'm excited to join Ebiquity at a time when our industry needs
greater accountability of marketing investments, especially in
digital media. I truly believe that Ebiquity provides world-class
services that enable advertisers to maximise the efficiency and
effectiveness of their media investments, as digital enters a new
era."
