A data driven approach enables better customer and operational insights to provide information, experiences and services tailored to specific customer needs.

We are pleased to partner with a digital technology leader like Cognizant to help us achieve this vision," said Gaurav Gupta, Chief Commercial Officer, MG Motor India.
