9. India Market Entry In order to make a successful entry into the Indian market, the following steps should be taken care of: • Development of a good understanding of the potential of the Indian market • Formulation of a sound strategy before entering India Market • Successful implementation of such a strategy Innoversant has the in-depth knowledge and understanding of local business conditions, climate and culture of India that is required to ensure rapid, successful market penetration. Combined with our extensive list of strategic partners and local contacts, Innoversant is uniquely positioned to assist companies seeking entry or expansion into Indian markets. “ A company's success in India will depend on the correct estimation of the market potential. Overestimation of possibilities and underestimation of complexities that a company might face may lead to its failure. Due consideration needs to be given to the inherent difficulties and functional hazards that a company might encounter while working in the Indian system. The entry into the market of India necessitates the formulation of a well-designed plan which in itself should be a product of thorough research. Above all, the company's should bear in mind the objective of growth in the long run and not profit in the short run in order to make their stay in India a permanent one. www.innoversant.com ”

10. There are many choices open to companies seeking to enter Indian Markets. Each choice comes with its own cost, risk, opportunity size and complexity of operation. The market potential in India is undoubtedly big. The key lies in developing a well-thought out Entry Strategy that takes into account the vast complex issues that govern India both from a market and legal & regulatory perspective. India is not short of examples where multinational corporations with vast resources have run into obstacles in rolling-out their entry and have fallen short of exploiting the vast potential of the Indian sub continent. A right way of looking at India would be to compare it with European Union. Like the European Union various states in India have their own languages, cultures, and unique market dynamics. The policies are framed at state and federal levels which need to be carefully considered for evaluating possibilities and making right entry decisions. No surprise it is called a sub-continent. At Innoversant we understand this complexity and challenge for companies either seeking to enter or expand their existing business in India. We work as a trusted partner to companies planning to enter Indian markets or needing help in expanding and sustaining their growth in Indian Markets. www.innoversant.com
