HELPING YOU PROCURE GOODS AND SERVICES FROM INDIA, DEVELOP BUSINESS AND SELL INTO INDIA AND ADMINISTER THE PROCESS ALL ALONG THE WAY
   
   
 
 
Security should be your number one concern when traveling abroad in addition to safely transacting negotiations and making payments not to mention ensuring your goods and services are delivered without fail. Your personal safety and the safety of your intellectual property as well as the physical safety of your assets is a major concern. It is of a heightened sense when in India. While India is a democratic country it is made up of many diverse peoples including modern day tribals and ruthless political rivals. It is not uncommon to experience what is called a Bundh or complete strike and shut down of a city or state. There are also 'Dacoits' or bandits as well as Naxhalites or socialists/guerillas throughout the country who are dangerous and should be avoided at all costs.

India Source has the knowledge and experience to keep you and your company safe either while traveling or operating a business in India. Prior to any trip you will receive a dossier giving updates on any regional hotspots, anticipated problems, and tips to avoid problems should they arise unexpectedly. We are like your AAA representative times 10!

In addition we work to combat industrial espionage and piracy as well as to enforce confidentiality agreements and to perform services which limit the desire of 3rd parties to want to interfere with you or your business operations

Our goal is to ensure your safety by securing your hotel and vehicle as well as your person, even if this requires a personal body guard trained to deal specifically with westerners and their needs. Before you leave the US you will have a detailed list of security precautions as well as information on how your stay will be secured for you and situations to avoid.

Specifically for Americans the US Embassy in New Delhi and the various consulates scattered around the country provide information about traveling in India and security updates via the ‘American Citizen Services’ division. It is highly recommended that you register with the authorities ahead of your trip and that you are aware of any potential threats that exist.

It is important to note that Americans are generally well liked in India but it is not uncommon to hear comments which are misconceptions of our foreign policies. The U.S. has unwavering support for Pakistan and this is a point of contention for Indians. It is wise to avoid conversations that center on religion or politics as tempers can flare and situations can get out of hand very quickly.

It is also wise to keep abreast of local news in the areas you will be traveling by looking online. This will help you to take a decision as to whether it is an area you are comfortable to travel in or not. We will of course have day to day communication with security personnel in any city or area which we guide you in visiting.

Safety also relates to health and it is important to know what foods you can and can’t tolerate well for one and to have medications with you along with a list of prescriptions in case you lose them or they run out. How you will respond to differences in time zones, noise and air pollution, and general density of people around you could impact your ability to think and respond clearly. We ensure you are comfortable and able to maintain your peak performance levels.

We welcome you to read through the following well written information provided by the US State Department on the topic of diplomatic security. We strongly believe the comments are just as appropriate for any executive business traveler.
