If you would like to have a representation of your own in India, you need to take some decisions; in which economic region, in which Indian state and in which Indian city do you want to locate your business? For these decisions, you need to compare and evaluate the specific needs of your business, like the market, access to suppliers, availability of personnel and infrastructure etc. for different locations.

Do not underestimate a decision like this. When you have located yourself, a later relocation is very time-consuming, complex and expensive. For instance, on your current location you have qualified personnel. I India, people are not as mobile as you are used to. This has to do with very strong family-ties. Also cultural- and language aspects make a relocation of personnel practically impossible.

Furthermore, the quality of locations differs considerably from state to state, city to city and even from quarter to quarter. ‘Cheap’ locations with ‘cheap quality’ are located just across the street from expensive locations. Furthermore, a location in the north and the south cannot practically be compared, because of big differences in culture, climate, infrastructure, politics and economy.

However, ‘the optimal location’ cannot be found in India. Every location has its advantages and disadvantages. That is why a location-analysis cannot be done globally, but solely specifically directed towards your needs. You need to find the best compromise between the existing advantages and disadvantages of different locations and minimise the risk of choosing the wrong location.
