Annik chief relocates to US as economy bounces back

Although headquartered in India, Sahgal says “the US has always been our largest market”. Most recently, the data analytics company had former Greenfield Online CEO Rudy Nadilo as one of its most senior US-based executives, however Nadilo left the firm this year to lead the North American division of Dapresy.

Sahgal was based in the US earlier in his career, while IT director for NFO, and has been a board member of the Council for American Survey Research Organisations (Casro) since January 2010.

Joining him in the US is Ankita Sethi, head of Annik’s research and analytics account management group, who is relocating to Chicago.

“I feel this is the right time to strengthen our presence as the US economy comes back,” said Sahgal.
