Strategic Board Support for Foreign Mid-Sized Companies’ Indian Operations

We act as active Advisory Board Member for Indian subsidiaries of foreign mid-sized companies, leveraging nearly 25 years of experience in internal audits, external controlling, and performance management. Our involvement in regular board meetings ensures a strong focus on strategy, operational efficiency, and sustainable success. Through quarterly business reviews and strategic guidance, we help enhance performance, strengthen governance, and maintain accurate reporting and compliance. This approach supports foreign companies in effectively overseeing their Indian operations, driving growth while ensuring robust control and transparency in a complex market environment.

/How are you managing your subsidiary—Resident Director, local partner, or strategic governance?

Appointing a Resident Director ensures legal compliance without operational involvement. It’s the ideal solution for controlled governance and risk mitigation in India.

/ Who are your ideal customers, and what drives their buying decisions in India?

India is a diverse and highly segmented market. Understanding your ideal customer profile—whether industrial buyers, distributors, SMEs, or large corporations—is key to positioning your products effectively. Factors like price sensitivity, brand perception, and decision-making hierarchies differ across industries, so a localized approach is essential

/ Is setting up your own entity the right move, or would collaborating with an Indian partner accelerate your success?

Setting up a wholly owned subsidiary provides full control but involves high initial investment, regulatory approvals, and operational complexity. Partnering with an established Indian firm—via joint ventures, mergers, or acquisitions—can offer faster market access, but ensuring alignment in business goals and ethics is crucial.

/What legal and operational structure will ensure compliance and efficiency in India’s regulatory landscape?

India’s business laws, tax structures, and compliance requirements vary based on the type of business entity you choose (liaison office, branch office, subsidiary, or joint venture). Selecting the right structure ensures smoother operations, tax benefits, and long-term sustainability.
