Chahal (pictured left) was previously global chief operating officer at YouGov PLC, where he spent 18 years and was a key part of the company’s growth from a team of 15 when he joined to employing more than 3,000 people across 60 countries.

Milieu Insight is a global market research and data analytics company that aims to help brands and businesses gain actionable business insights and which runs survey and data analytics software platform Canvas.

Gerald Ang (pictured right), founder at Milieu Insight, said Chahal’s appointment would allow him to focus on innovation and business strategy, alongside the new chief executive.

“With Sundip on board, we’re entering a new phase of growth. His experience and network will be invaluable as we expand into new markets, particularly the US and UK,” said Ang.

“We’ve built a great team and a powerful platform. Now, with Sundip’s leadership, we can scale up rapidly while maintaining our commitment to innovation.”

Chahal added: “I have observed Milieu during my many years in the market research sector and have admired them for their agility, innovation and offering best in class survey software technology.

“The potential for growth in the US and UK markets is immense, and the company’s commitment to push boundaries will be a powerful advantage to drive industry disruption and redefine market research on a global scale.”
