Why MRSS stands ahead of the pack?
Majestic MRSS
About a decade and half ago when Mr. Sharma started most Indian Research firms scoffed at the concept of 'Telephonic Interviews' chiding " India mein phone par interviews nahin hota hain, idhar sirf Face-to-Face chalta hain!" (In India, interviews are not conducted over the calls; instead, they have to be face to face!). Not one to be deterred by this, MAJESTIC pioneered the first CATI setup in India i.e. Computer Assisted Telephonic Interviews. Today with Telephone penetration almost 100% and arguably even more CATI has become the most preferred methodology in India. At a time when India was struggling with 9.6KBS modems, MAJESTIC introduced video streaming in India. This basically meant Market Researchers could be in any part of the world and see and listen to their consumers in INDIA real time. Not stopping there, they launched 'Ethno streaming' which basically connected Boardrooms to Bedrooms and Bathrooms thus giving the global companies to further customize their offering for the Indian consumers. The quest for introducing newer methodologies and technologies became a habit for them. This continued with things like SMS Research; Online Panels; Eye Tracking; Online Communities; Mystery Shopping; Digital Tracking. Today, they are talking Neurosciences, Indoor Audience Measurement Systems, Sensory Sciences and aiming to revolutionize the Digital Landscape of Insighting in India.
