One project manager takes your product or brand from paperwork and pricing through stock, channels and the launch campaign to your first sales in India.
India Launching is our single-accountability programme for entering the market. We work backwards from your launch date: entity and licences where needed, import and labelling compliance, pricing and channel strategy, distributor or marketplace onboarding, warehousing and first stock placement, launch creative and PR, and a trade launch that puts product in front of buyers. One project manager owns the whole plan, with milestone reporting so you always know what is done and what is at risk.
We plan backwards from your launch date: first sale, trade launch, stock in place, compliance cleared, entity ready. That way you can see straight away which step has no time to spare. One project manager owns the critical path and reports against it, including when a milestone is at risk.
Setting up in India is mostly about doing things in the right order. A GST registration needs an address, an address needs a lease, a foreign-owned entity needs apostilled documents that take time to obtain abroad. Most delays we see are caused by paperwork requested too late. We give you the document list and the critical path at the start, and we handle the departmental follow-up that consumes the most time.
Then we skip that workstream and price only what you need. The programme is modular.
That’s usually what we recommend. Prove your pricing and channels in one city before stocking the whole country.
Media spend, inventory, statutory fees and freight. Those are quoted or passed through separately so the fee stays transparent.
Generally no. Most registrations can be completed with apostilled or notarised documents couriered to us, plus digital signatures obtained remotely.
In most sectors yes, under the automatic FDI route. A few sectors have caps or need approval, so we’ll check your activity before you commit.
