Truesight Consulting Expands Global Footprint with Formal Launch of Expanded Delhi Office

It will provide full-service advanced marketing analytics and solutions for both regional and international clients.

Truesight also announced that Nitesh Sahay, 41, officially joins the firm on March 1 as its Delhi-based country leader for India and regional leader for Asia, a new role with titles managing director and associate partner.

“We are delighted that Nitesh Sahay will lead our efforts in India and throughout Asia. He was an essential member of our management team at another firm and delivered tremendous growth in client relationships, new business, new capabilities and developing first-tier talent. He brings a level of experience, rigor and expertise that is virtually unmatched in the industry,” said David Dixon, founder and managing partner.

In addition to management and client-facing responsibilities, Sahay will leverage his academic background (MPhil, Economics, multiple publications) and long-standing relationships in academia to help support Truesight’s global R&D and innovation efforts, several of which will be announced during the next few weeks.

Describing the strategic value of India and Asia for Truesight, co-founder and partner Sebastian Shapiro, said, “India and greater Asia are vital to our firm and represent huge opportunities. India is poised to become the 5th largest economy in the world in 2018 and was one of the top six fastest-growing economies during 2017. But that’s only part of the story. We know first-hand that India is a remarkable hub for marketing talent, R&D, innovation and is also an ideal anchor location for Asia. Few people know the region’s marketing landscape better than Mr. Sahay, and we’ve already had overwhelming response and support for launching Truesight in India and Asia directly from companies in those markets.”

Truesight combines and unifies technology, data, modeling and business intelligence solutions to drive significant improvements in results and revenue for its clients. Among the firm’s distinctions are the relationships it forges with blue-chip thought leaders and academic institutions. It’s already established partnerships with top faculty at Stanford University, Bentley University, VU University in Amsterdam, and others in the pipeline. These relationships give Truesight a type of vetting, neutrality and credibility not available elsewhere.

Commenting on joining the firm, Sahay said, “Truesight’s transparency-based approach to marketing analytics and client engagements is both radical and perfectly timed.

This is particularly evident in India and throughout Asia,” he said. “Additionally, Truesight’s multi-tiered solutions approach aptly fits the requirements of markets across the globe, each at different levels of data and analytics maturity. I’m privileged to have this opportunity to help Truesight and its clients crack the market in this part of the world and globally. Our opportunity is enormous, and our global team is top tier.”
