Oh, brilliant! Let’s give a standing ovation to whoever decided that the entire AM organization desperately needed a play-by-play on India Innovation Day, because nothing screams "peak productivity" like getting your inbox relentlessly flooded with promotional spam. Truly a masterclass in corporate communication.

Curious to know in Nielsen's 100 year history in the US which of those years any innovation came out of the US?
@dn
Nielsen is an 'American' company in name only. It was sold to India long ago. Once remittance is due on the outbound cash flow -- India salaries/facilities -- The company will fully officially move out of the USA. It may even IPO on the Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE) instead of the NYSE.
Must have been great for motivation. Weird they only let India participate..
Hurrrrr Durrr HurrrrHrrrrr
The word, "India" has absolutely no business (literally) even being placed next to the word, "innovation" in a sentence.
Unless you mention that all the innovation in the US is done by Indians and other immigrants because, you know, you guys are so fu--ing d-mb in general! LOL!
