Datamatics launched this award in 2013 in association with the Market Research Society of India (MRSI) and global MR association ESOMAR. This award, now in its fifth year, was instituted with the objective of acknowledging and rewarding innovators who have made significant efforts towards introducing breakthrough technology within the market research industry processes to transform the quality of consumer insights.
The nominations were reviewed by an independent jury comprising industry experts based on multiple pre-defined criteria such as uniqueness, relevance, quality of solution, potential applicability to other areas and overall cost of implementation; however, the most important criteria was that the solution should already be functional and operational.
