But, if you are applying in any other hub of NielsenIQ, get a good knowledge of questions and business related to FMCG domain. Nielsen is a consumer market expert and a fabulous work is done in other NIQ hubs related to FMCG marketing domain.

All the best ! And don't apply for any position in NIQ Pune hub.
