Generation1.ca’s founder and CEO, Professor Arundati Dandapani, has been honoured with the Best Paper of the Year Award at ESOMAR’s 2024 global conference in Athens, Greece competing against conference publications from South Africa, Argentina and the UK. The award recognizes her publication Voicing the New Global Immigrant Realities: Empowered Insights for an Underserved Market of which she is the primary author emphasizing the vital role of immigrants in North America’s industry, economy, society and culture. You can read Dandapani’s entire publication here excerpted from her book What is the Point of Canada? A No Holds Barred Guide to Immigrant Success in North America:
Dandapani’s paper draws from her larger and extensive research and book “What is the Point of Canada?” on North America’s immigrant journeys and experiences providing actionable strategies for brands and institutions to better engage with this fast-growing and disruptive demographic, a critical part of the talent pool, labour market and post-AI society.
