Understanding the Indian Market
India is a vast, populous and diverse nation encompassing many different identities, languages, cultures and religions.
250 years of shared history between India and the UK have led to a widespread understanding of Indian food, people, film and literature in the UK. But businesses often make the mistake of misjudging their knowledge of Indian culture. Business success will require a good understanding of the underlying values, beliefs and assumptions of Indian culture and how they manifest themselves in the market and workplace.
However, India is both large and complex, and should not be seen as one market but a series of interconnected regional markets where the legislative and investment climate may change from one state to another.
The UK India Business Council have prepared a series of guides on key topics effecting business in India to help UK companies understand these differences, the challenges they present and of course how to overcome them. On each page you can also find relevant resources including factsheets, webinar recordings and guides.
