MMRSS to Expand to Japan and South Korea

Market research services firm Majestic MRSS has announced plans to expand its footprint in Japan and South Korea in the next two years.

Established in 1992, Majestic offers full service market research, including qual and quant services, mystery shopping, mobile and online surveys, panel management, polling services, usability testing and advanced analytics.

Earlier this month, the firm opened full service offices in Taiwan, Hong Kong and Singapore - adding to its existing presence in India, China, Thailand, Indonesia, Sri Lanka, Bangladesh, Vietnam and the UAE.

Co-founder and President Raj Sharma said his company only enters those markets where it has a good client base, adding: 'We have traditionally been focused on emerging markets, but with many of our multinational clients based in developed markets in the region, full-service offices in these locations [were] a strongly felt need'.

According to Sharma, his firm has already invested around Rs 40-crore ($8.6m) in setting up overseas offices and acquiring new technologies, and plans to invest another Rs 10-crore ($2.1m) to enter Japan and South Korea.
