Businesses with a pre-determined mindset and less exposure to international markets might find the commerce culture in a country with a population of 1.3 billion people too intimidating.
Finding the right partner goes a long way in helping you navigate through the multifaceted market environment. A local partner will have the knowledge and expertise needed in valuable market insights, existing competition, the complex rules and regulation of the land and other important issues. Different business priorities, divided short term and long-term goals and business models that do not suit the industry are usually the reasons for fallouts with partners and a short stay in India. Therefore, it is important that foreign businesses evaluate their Indian partner carefully before signing up with them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
By 2020 the Indian economy is predicted to be the second largest in the world! It is also supposed to be increasing its global GDP from around 7% to 15% in the same time period. India still has much to offer to the world and though the market and the growth is huge, it is important that international businesses understand and narrow down the right opportunity for them in this diverse market. This is essential to ensure that they take accurate investment decisions. This may pose to be an impossible task due to India\u2019s complicated market structure, the horde of unorganised players and lack of reliable data.
To this end, it is pivotal that international businesses work alongside their Indian partners to collect and build a strong information base for the market they wish to expand into consisting of facts about market size, industry dynamics, and future growth path.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n
India is vast and has a pluralistic, multilingual society and this is why a one solution fits all approach doesn\u2019t work. It is a land that has multiple languages, cultures and business opportunities and consequently, the needs of B2B and B2C customers are distinctive and varied from one region to another. Therefore, international businesses approaching to expand and establish in India should study and attain deep and meaningful insights about their target market and design custom models that will best suit the target audience.
At this stage, it is also imperative to understand that price sensitivity is extremely important for a new entrant into the Indian market. Though there is a visible and consistent growth in the economy and the middle class, India is still considered a low-middle income nation with a per capita income of $2,338 and with much of the population still under the poverty line.
The Indian government does not pay for education nor does it provide healthcare coverage for its citizens. This expenditure along with the disposable income left after covering basic amenities doesn\u2019t provide a lot of room for the middle-class man to spend extravagantly. Therefore, it is imperative that the pricing for the products and services are set appropriately for them to be welcomed and spent upon!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
