Location in India

Successfully Establishing a Presence in India

Setting up or expanding operations in India—whether a factory, production site, service location, or Global Capability Center (GCC)—requires a tailored approach.
While India offers significant advantages in terms of cost efficiency and workforce availability, companies also face major challenges. These include navigating a complex bureaucratic and regulatory landscape, as well as managing infrastructural and, most importantly, cultural barriers that can heavily impact local operations.

India presents great opportunities thanks to its strong talent pool, advanced technology, and favorable cost structure. Despite these advantages, entering the Indian market demands careful planning—especially in regard to regulations and infrastructure. Moreover, there are significant differences between the country’s various economic regions.

Cultural adaptation is another critical factor.
Decision-making processes, hierarchies, and expectations around quality and communication often differ significantly from Western norms. Companies establishing operations in India must understand how local teams and partners operate and how to deal with India’s often opaque business environment.

We help companies minimize these risks, identify the right locations, and address legal, tax, and operational requirements from the outset—to ensure long-term success.
