HELPING YOU PROCURE GOODS AND SERVICES FROM INDIA, DEVELOP BUSINESS AND SELL INTO INDIA AND ADMINISTER THE PROCESS ALL ALONG THE WAY

We understand the need and desire to communicate in the native language of the party you are dealing with. While most people in India will speak English in business the level of proficiency varies greatly. Certain nuances of your negotiations and of making a 3rd party comfortable can benefit from speaking to that party in their mother tongue. To that end we provide services to translate in person, via phone calls, and in creation and distribution of collateral marketing materials and in support documentation.

Our services include everything from writing a greeting card to having business cards made up that will raise an eyebrow in the region in which you are conducting business. We aim to give you a competitive edge in your business dealings.

If you are going to be in country for any length of time you may need assistance in activities of daily living for which you desire to perform them on your own such as going to the fruit / vegetable

markets or going shopping in wholesale markets or the mall. We will prepare you for the same and provide you a guide with text and pictures which will easily help you and the supplier to identify your needs in case language becomes a problem.

You should be aware that while Hindi is the national language of India not everyone countrywide knows it or is willing to speak it even if they know it. That is even more true of English. Many people understand a little English but don’t feel comfortable enough to speak to you in it. Be careful however in your conversations as the person sitting across from you may completely understand what you are discussing amongst your team and pretend otherwise.

Having experienced guides who speak local languages and dialects is important as is having some documents translated into local languages to avoid confusion. Take into account instructions for production and research and development for example where any little misunderstanding could lead to disaster.

We will help you to be prepared for any exigencies of the day.
