FREE ConsultationWhy Choose India for Your Subsidiary or Branch Office?
1. Access to a Growing Market
India is not just standing still. Every year, more and more people are elevated to middle class, more industries open up, and we see more spending power. For a foreign company, these are not just numbers - they are opportunities.
2. Skilled and Cost-Effective Talent
India is one of those places where you will find highly qualified engineers, accountants and managers at a cost that you can afford. This blend of both quality and affordability is what keeps MNCs coming back to India to setup a business.
3. Supportive Policy Environment
The government in India is keen on foreign investments, offering incentives and simplifying rules to make entry easier. This clearly indicates that India wants global companies to come in, stay and succeed.
4. Strategic Global Positioning
Operating here does not just open Indian market. The geography, trade links and growing infrastructure here means that your subsidiary can also serve as a base for Asia and beyond.
Options For Setting Up Your Business in India
Foreign businesses can now enter India in different ways - and we offer dedicated services for each option.
