Roopam Bahl, director of business development for Toluna in India, will relocate to Melbourne to be the local point-of-contact for the company. Bahl has led the company’s domestic business in India for the past three years, and now joins the team in Australia led by Stephen Walker.

Filling Bahl’s role in India is Himanshu Verma, who joins Toluna as director of India domestic business. Himanshu has more than 15 years of business leadership within the marketing research industry across Asia Pacific. Most recently, he headed the TNS Thailand business and has also worked at Kantar, Ipsos, Synovate, IMRB and Millward Brown.

Ludovic Milet, managing director, Asia Pacific, said: “Toluna has seen tremendous business growth across APAC over the past five years, in every country we have offices. We thought it was time to strengthen both our Australian and Indian businesses and these nominations are designed to answer the rapid adoption of Toluna’s research automation services delivered through our insights on demand platform.”
