Mumbai Office and New Financial Service for PSB

WPP-owned market research and political polling specialist Penn Schoen Berland (PSB) has opened its second Indian office, in Mumbai, following its launch in Gurgaon last year.

PSB conducts research into public opinion on behalf of corporations - including Hollywood studios - and political leaders.

To coincide with the launch of the new Mumbai office, PSB has introduced the Capital Market Communications (CMC) service, to help clients create business and financial communication plans. This service is led by chartered accountant Mehul Mehta, who joins PSB Mumbai as a Director to head the CMC team.

In South Asia, PSB is led by Ashwani Singla (pictured), who comments: 'Combining our research and capital market communications capabilities will provide clients with deep insights and an actionable programme to protect and enhance shareholder value. We chose to expand in Mumbai because it is the financial capital of the country.'
