Ambassador’s Foreword Ladies and Gentlemen, I am happy to present to you the Finland-India Business Guide 2012-13. The Guide provides a lot of useful information on Indo-Finnish economic and commercial relations. This year the Guide has been slightly remodelled by categorising the Finnish and Indian companies sector-wise. We hope that through this change this Guide provides better and more relevant information to its readers. Finland and India enjoy excellent relations and substantive bilateral partnerships in various fields of cooperation. We are very pleased that the Agreement on Social Security between Finland and India was signed in New Delhi in June 2012. This Agreement complements the already comprehensive contractual relationship between the Governments of Finland and India. The Agreement affects the social security of people moving between Finland and India and applies to pensions, in particular. It enables preventing double pension contributions, which is important for Finnish companies operating in India and the staff employed by them. The active exchange of high-level visits between our countries continued during the latter part of 2011 into 2012. Both the President of the Republic of Finland and the Speaker of the Parliament visited India in spring 2012. We also witnessed several Ministerial visits from Finland to India and vice versa. The 17th session of the Indo- Finnish Joint Commission was held in New Delhi in November 2011. The Joint Commission deals with questions concerning bilateral trade relations, their development and potential and examines scope for new modes of co- operation. Our capital Helsinki is the World Design Capital in 2012. The theme of the Helsinki World Design Capital year “Open Helsinki, Embedding Design in Life” indicates that today design can be found everywhere around us – not only in arts and culture but also in public services, education systems or in policy making. Without design, there would be no roads, no airplanes, no mobile phones or no cities. Design is becoming increasingly important for businesses worldwide as they strive to stay competitive. Design is also an important sector in cooperation between Finland and India. The Government of Finland adopted a cross-sectoral Action Plan on Finland’s External Economic Relations in May 2012. According to the Plan, a strategic steering group and secretariat working under the Prime Minister will draw up long-term strategic guidelines in view of promoting exports and internationalisation of Finnish businesses. One of the key premises of the Action Plan is that the focus of our economic and commercial relations is shifting towards developing markets like India. We will see the diverse cooperation between Finland and India strengthening even further in the future. The Embassy of Finland in New Delhi stands ready to do its best to facilitate this positive development. H.E. Ms. Terhi Hakala Ambassador of Finland FINLAND-INDIA BUSINESS GUIDE 2012-13 l 5

There are already many India companies established in Finland. The goal is to attract further investments into Finland. Due to the changes in the international business environment and shift in economic focus towards the emerging markets, Finnish SMEs are increasingly evaluating business possibilities within India’s 28 states and adjacent markets. The growth in the international business sector in India is about 6% annually, which translates into market potential for Finnish companies in developing sectors like: urban infrastructure, transport, building, automation in manufacturing, ICT in software & services, healthcare, education systems, food supply chain etc..

FinNode Message Dear Innovator, FinNode India is part of the Finnish FinNode innovation network. FinNode connects Finnish and international experts and the know-how required to promote innovation. It reveals new openings for Finnish business and research organisations and supports their internationalisation. FinNode is an entity through which foreign partners can engage with all the central public innovation organisations in Finland. The other network countries are USA, China, Russia and Japan. FinNode India has identified opportunities for Finland-India collaboration in areas like clean water, energy efficiency, health and biotechnology, skills development and ICT. One overlapping interest area is frugal and inclusive innovation, where India has a lot to share with the rest of the world. FinNode India initiates joint projects in these focus areas to foster collaboration between India and Finland, to evaluate opportunities, and to identify new business models. Interest towards cooperation between Finnish and Indian organisations is growing fast. Finnish business, university and government delegations have visited India multiple times over the last year looking for concrete opportunities for doing things together. During the same time, three calls for joint research were executed with joint funding by Finnish and Indian government bodies. An interesting example of activities in FinNode’s projects was a piloting trip of small Finnish companies to rural Bihar. The companies were to test their innovations, such as an affordable house concept based on aluminium house frame, in real life settings with local people having long tradition of frugal innovation methods. Finland and Finnish organisations are strong in innovation and scaling up the innovations into wide use. Many globally leading and highly innovative Finnish companies are listed in this Business Guide. Let’s co-create solutions to the needs and problems of today and tomorrow!

Setting Up a Business in Finland Business operations in Finland can be conducted as: • A private entrepreneur • A partnership • A limited liability company (formed by one or more individuals or legal entities) • A cooperative • A branch of a foreign company Business can be carried on in Finland by a natural person who is resident of the European Economic Area, Finnish organisation or foundation or a foreign organisation or foundation which has established a branch in Finland, established under the laws of a country belonging to the EEA and which has its registered office, central administration or principal place of business in a country belonging to the EEA. Most businesses must be registered with the Trade Register. Limited liability companies and co-operatives are among the most common company forms that are created through registration. When determining the best suited form of conducting business activities in Finland, the following points should be considered: 1. Number of Founders Individual entrepreneurs can conduct business activities in the form of a single-member company or as a private entrepreneur. Partnerships require minimum of two founders and cooperatives, at least three founders. A limited liability company may be a single-member company or may have several founders. 2. Required Capital For setting up a limited liability company, a minimum share capital of EUR 2,500 is required. There are no minimum capital requirements for cooperatives or general partnerships. For limited partnerships, a monetary investment is needed from the silent partner. 3. Division of Responsibilities in the Enterprise Private entrepreneurs, partners in general partnerships and general partners in limited partnerships are responsible for any liabilities of the business with their personal property. Shareholders in limited liability companies and members of cooperatives are responsible only for the amount of capital they have invested. FINLAND-INDIA BUSINESS GUIDE 2012-13 l 15
4. Flexibility of Activities A private entrepreneur is able to make all decisions on his/her own, partners in a general partnership and general partners in a limited partnership make decisions either jointly or solely, and limited liability companies are represented by their Board of Directors. In cooperatives, decisions are based on one member-one vote principle, irrespective of the amount of each member’s investment. 5. Continuity of Operations In partnerships, if stated in the original agreement contract, the share of one partner can be transferred to another person with the agreement of the other partners. In limited liability companies, shareholder changes do not have an effect on the existence of the company. Memberships of a cooperative cannot be sold, but if a sufficient level of unanimity is reached, the cooperative itself can be sold. 6. Profit Distribution and Loss Coverage A private entrepreneur retains all profits but is also responsible for possible losses. In general partnerships, profits and losses are distributed among the partners either as decreed by the law or as stated in the partnership agreement. Silent partners in limited partnerships are paid a share of the profit stated in the partnership agreement, but they do not contribute to the coverage of losses. Limited liability companies pay their shareholders dividends, based on the amount of shares of each shareholder. Dividends can be paid only from the profits of previous accounting periods or unrestricted shareholders’ equity after subtracting possible losses. In a limited liability company, the shareholders are responsible for the losses only for the amount they have invested, unless personal guarantees have been pledged for the company’s debts. The purpose of cooperatives is to provide services for their members, not obtaining profit as such. Surpluses can however, be distributed to the members, for example, in the form of extra wages, after first filling the reserve requirements laid on the cooperative. 7. Taxation Tax treatment varies depending on the form of the business, especially in regard to direct taxation. The joint effect of tax burdens falling on the form of business and on the entrepreneur(s) determines the choice that is most profitable in each specific case. Permits Required from Foreign Entrepreneurs Non-EU citizens are allowed to stay in Finland with a tourist status for three months; however, if they wish to work, they are requested to apply for a residence permit, even if the period of stay is for less than three months. Entrepreneurs entering Finland with an entrepreneur status are requested to apply for an entrepreneur’s residence permit, while still outside Finland. More information can be found in the EnterpriseFinland web portal, www.yrityssuomi.fi 16 l FINLAND-INDIA BUSINESS GUIDE 2012-13
Setting Up a Business in India A foreign company can set up business operations in India either as a foreign company by establishing a liaison/representative office, project office or branch office or as a domestic company through equity participation in a joint venture company or as a wholly-owned subsidiary. A foreign company is one that has been incorporated outside India and establishes a place of business within India. Domestic companies are those incorporated in India. They are subject to same rules and regulations as Indian companies. Liaison/Representative Office A foreign company can set up a liaison/representative office in India to collect data about possible market opportunities, and provide information about the company and its products to prospective Indian customers. Liaison office is allowed to represent the parent company in India, promote export/import to/from India, promote technical or financial collaborations between parent company and companies in India, and act as a communications channel. Liaison office is not allowed to undertake any commercial, trading or industrial activity. Additionally, its operations in India are to be met out of inward remittances received from abroad. The companies willing to open a liaison office have to make an application to the Reserve Bank of India (RBI). The process of approval takes about three weeks. Permission to set up a liaison office is usually granted for an initial period of three years, which may be extended from time-to-time. Project Office A foreign company may open a project office in India provided it has secured from an Indian company, a contract to execute a project in India. Since project offices can be established only for a limited period of time, it is usually companies engaged in turnkey or installation projects that are setting them up. As per revised guidelines, recently issued by the RBI, no prior approval is required for setting up a project office. FINLAND-INDIA BUSINESS GUIDE 2012-13 l 17
Branch Office Foreign companies manufacturing or trading abroad are permitted to set up branch offices in India for export/ import of goods, rendering services, carrying out research work, promoting collaborations, representing the parent company, and acting as a buying/selling agent in India. Permission for setting up branch offices is granted by the RBI on a case-to-case basis. Before granting the approval, the RBI normally takes into consideration the operating history of the applicant company worldwide and its proposed activities in India. The process of obtaining approval from the RBI takes about three weeks. Wholly-owned Subsidiary The first step in the establishment of a wholly-owned subsidiary is to find out whether 100 per cent foreign equity and entry through automatic route are allowed. This means that no prior government approval is required. Nowadays, this is the case apart from a few sectors, which are either subject to Foreign Investment Promotion Board (FIPB) approval or restricted altogether. The norms for Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) in India are governed by the Foreign Direct Investment Policy of the Government of India, Foreign Exchange Management Act 1999 and the Foreign Exchange Management (Transfer or issue of security by a person residing outside India) Regulations 2000 issued by the RBI. For registration as an Indian company and its incorporation, an application has to be filed with the Registrar of Companies (ROC). A private limited company in India requires a minimum of two shareholders and a public limited company, a minimum of seven members. The minimum capitalisation norms for private and public companies are ` 100,000 and ` 500,000 respectively. Joint Venture The same rules applicable to wholly-owned subsidiaries, apply to joint venture companies, the only difference being the form of partnership between Indian and foreign companies. This is often a practical way to establish a presence. Setting up of operations through a joint venture can entail advantages like established distribution set-up, available financial resources and established contacts that help smoothen the process of setting up of operations. 18 l FINLAND-INDIA BUSINESS GUIDE 2012-13

Important Business Sectors for Indo-Finnish Cooperation TELECOM The Indian telecom sector is among the fastest growing in the world with 930 million wireless subscribers (31st May 2012) and corresponding teledensity of 76.68%. Mobile value added services have been a key growth driver over the last few years with strong future growth expected in m-health, governance, commerce, banking, education and entertainment; cloud-based applications will also witness substantial uptake. There is strong policy focus on promotion of telecom R&D, aimed at making India a hub for telecom manufacturing by incentivising domestic manufacturers with thrust on IPR, product development and commercialization, and also offering preferential market access for indigenously manufactured products. The Government aims to increase broadband access to 175 million and provide mobile access to all villages and rural teledensity of at least 60% by 2017. IT-BPO Indian IT-BPO constitutes 58% of the global sourcing industry in terms of market share. Aggregate revenues are estimated to cross the USD 100 billion mark with exports at USD 69 billion (Source: Nasscom). The buzzword of the decade is ‘innovation’ with emphasis on new business and delivery models, new products and services, besides the need to localize for the significant domestic market. India offers significant advantages of skills availability and cost effectiveness sustainable in the long term due to the young demographic profile of the country, in addition to the rapidly expanding global delivery footprint and enhanced service delivery efficiency. Other areas showing significant growth and offering opportunities to foreign companies are: IT Services (consulting, systems integration, IT outsourcing/managed services/hosting services, training and support/maintenance); Engineering and R&D Services; and Data Centre Services. The industry has also been moving towards Green IT, helping customers lower their carbon footprint through adoption of environment-friendly technology. Life Sciences Healthcare market is one of the fastest growing markets in India. The Euro 25 billion industry is expected to continue growing annually by 10-12 per cent and is thus, expected to reach over Euro 53 billion by 2012 and Euro 108 billion by 2017. The sectors showing highest growth in demand are medical infrastructure, medical equipment and medical textiles. The Indian domestic pharmaceutical market is around Euro 7 billion, being one of the biggest sectors in Life sciences. Growing number of the manufacturers have international quality certificates. Medical diagnostics is an interesting area for collaboration due to continuous market growth of 10-15 per cent per year, but also due to opportunities in manufacturing or R&D collaboration. Clinical research services sector in India is growing annually by 25 per cent and due to cost efficiency it offers an interesting opportunity for the Finnish manufacturers. FINLAND- INDIA BUSINESS GUIDE 2012-13 l 41
India is gearing up to be the ultimate health tourism destination by upgrading the existing infrastructure to world standards. The food industry is also interesting: the semi-processed and ready-to-eat packaged food industry is growing at over 20 per cent a year. The retail sector is growing at 6 per cent. Value addition in food processing and increased health awareness as well as demand for special foods, e.g. targeted for diabetics or persons with high cholesterol create demand for smaller players with special products or ingredients. “Food Safety and Standard act which came into force in August 2011 will increase hygienic practices and control, thus creating demand of tests and training.” Energy, Environment and Forestry India ranks sixth in the world in total energy consumption and needs to accelerate the development of the sector to reach the goal to provide energy security to all. The Indian energy basket has a mix of all the resources available including renewables. In the 12th Five-Year Plan, India plans to add about 75785 MW of energy of which 82% is proposed to be coal-based, with an estimated investment requirement of about €100 billion. The total fund requirements for Generation, CPP, Repair and Maintenance, Transmission and Distribution, Renewables etc. is estimated to be about €200 billion. Renewable energy sources are expected to add around 30500 MW of installed capacity, whereas captive power plants are expected to add around 13000MW during this period. The lack of availability of quality coal in the domestic market and increasing costs of imported coal has hit the Indian thermal power producers in a big way in recent years. This has raised the interest levels among many key stakeholders in the power sector to look at alternate sources of energy. Finnish companies, with their expertise in Cleantech and other advanced energy management solutions have the opportunity to tap this promising sector. The main areas offering investment opportunities are a) Green energy or renewable energies like wind, solar, biofuel, small hydro and alternative energy sources like waste to energy, b) Environment monitoring and measuring and industrial pollution control, c) Clean manufacturing technologies in different sectors, d) Energy audit and efficiency services, e) Waste management – especially solid and eWastes, f ) Clean water and sanitation, g) Carbon trading or CDM opportunities, h) Green buildings, i) Know-how and equipment for the upcoming nuclear power generation capacities, j) Power plant equipment and machinery, k) Transmission equipment and network automation. 42 l FINLAND- INDIA BUSINESS GUIDE 2012-13
India represents a key market for clean technology companies. India is investing billions into solar, wind, bio- agriculture, desalination, recycling, water management, waste, and e-waste, calling for international partnerships. The objective of the Indian government is to foster a second Green Revolution. There is a thrust in the 12th Five Year Plan towards private investments in the use of clean energy. Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) in environment equipment and services is allowed under the automatic route with up to 100 percent foreign equity holding. The main market drivers of the India Environment Market include stricter governmental regulations, growing public awareness, depletion of natural resources, increasing human-environment conflicts, rapid economic growth, and the pressures from the global climate negotiations, which are leading to adoption of newer and cleaner technologies, and a growing clean tech industry. Major opportunities in the environment sector include wastewater treatment especially municipal sewage treatment, clean water and sanitation, air pollution control, hazardous waste management, municipal solid waste-to-energy/composts projects, environmental instrumentation, environmental monitoring, measuring and industrial pollution control, clean manufacturing technologies in different sectors, energy audit and efficiency services, and consulting & training. The adoption of newer and cleaner technologies from Finland will help India to leapfrog into a more sustainable growth pathway as the Indian economy grows rapidly. India is a timber-deficient country. Given the decline in domestic production of industrial timber and the growing demand for wood products, India offers an enormous potential market for Finnish softwood, veneer, thermo-treated wood and wood treatment machinery. Other potential areas are paper production technology (equipment front); raw material handling, separation of pith and fibre technology (TECHNOLOGY front), tissue culture lab; environment: energy efficiency, waste management, training; Power generation: bio-methanation to power; technology for value addition of paper products like coating of paper and innovative packaging. Construction, Logistics and Machinery India’s infrastructure opportunities will continue to be a priority for the economy and the Government in the coming decade. The infrastructure sector accounts for more than 25 percent of India’s industrial output. The infrastructure today in India offers tremendous opportunities for industrial houses and foreign companies in construction, logistics and machinery. Irrespective of global or slight domestic slowdown, the need to develop the infrastructure in India has always been a top priority for government in power. The strong level of economic growth achieved in India in recent years has led to an expansion of industry, commerce and per-capita income, which, in turn, have fuelled the demand for infrastructure services. India is one of the largest and most dynamic infrastructure and project finance markets in the world with the total number of project based Special Purpose Vehicles (SPVs) at around 800, according to Ratings Agency Fitch. The investment in infrastructure is likely to touch 10 per cent of GDP in the 12th Five Year Plan (2012-2017). With the increasing investment, the share of private sector in the total investment on infrastructure has increased rapidly. The contribution of private sector in total infrastructure investment in each of the first two years of 11th Plan (2007-2012) was around 34 per cent. This is higher than the 11th Plan target of 30 per cent and 25 per cent achieved in 10th Plan period. It is expected to rise to 36 per cent by the end of 11th Plan and 50 per cent during the 12th Plan (2012-2017). Public Private Partnership is encouraged by the Government to meet the infrastructure objectives and hence there are many opportunities for the private players in Indian market. The sector does not have any restriction of investment by a foreign company and foreign investment is encouraged in this sector. Companies with medium to long term objective can grow manifold in this market as it offers ample opportunities for growth. FINLAND- INDIA BUSINESS GUIDE 2012-13 l 43
Construction & Mining The mining sector, particularly in India, is getting more organised, structured and transparent than in the past. This will allow more possibilities for international and domestic companies to participate in the mining opportunities. Heavy machinery and component manufacturing industry, especially earth moving equipment machinery, has a high demand in India. Shipping India’s Ministry of Shipping announced plans to carry out more than 22 new projects starting 2012. The projects will involve an investment of more than INR160bn (US$3.21bn). The ministry is also discussing Land Use Policy and Coastal Shipping. The Ministry of Shipping plans to invest US$ 13.45 billion for development of various projects in the port sector as a part of the 12th Five Year Plan (2012-17). Airports Aircraft maintenance, repair and overhaul (MRO) sector is on a growth path in the country. The sector holds a lot of opportunities for companies within the technical services outsourcing business domain. Passengers carried by domestic airlines during Jan-Jun 2012 (half yearly) were 31 mn as against 29.8 mn during the corresponding period of previous year, thereby registering a growth of 3.71 per cent, according to the latest data released by the Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA). This is despite slowdown globally and slight in India too. The number of scheduled passenger airline operators has grown to 15 and the number of aircraft in their fleet has risen to more than 400. International flights have increased to 706 flights per week. Due to enhanced opportunities for international connectivity, 69 foreign airlines from 49 countries are flying into India. Roadways In March 2012, the Indian Government had launched an INR200bn (US$4bn) tender for 15 road infrastructure projects under a design, build, operate, finance and transfer (DBOFT) basis. 10 of the projects will involve the widening of roads to four-lane highways, whilst a further three will see roads widened to six-lane highways. E-Waste As per the E-waste Management and Handling Rules 2011 which came into effect from May 1, 2012, it is now the producers’ liability for recycling and reducing e-waste. These rules apply to every producer, consumer or bulk consumer, collection centre, dismantler and recycler of e-waste involved in manufacture, sale, purchase 44 l FINLAND- INDIA BUSINESS GUIDE 2012-13
and processing of electronic equipment or components. This also creates a tremendous market opportunity for e-waste management service providers. India as a Major Manufacturing Hub India is being recognised as a destination for outsourcing of custom-based, high-technology manufacturing activities. Although, India is more on service sector, the need to focus on manufacturing is emphasised and manufacturing will gain momentum in the coming years.There are various incentives for manufacturing in India. Logistics is a fast growing sector, with approximately 110 logistics parks and 45 million sq ft of warehousing space to be developed across the country. Services – Education, Knowledge-Intensive Businesses, Design, Travel And Leisure, Well- Being Services With increasing affluence there is a rising demand in high end services especially in the sectors of Retail, Education, Transportation and Construction. Retail has seen revolutionary changes with radical policy changes and various players entering the organized retail. The organized version of retail is poised for doubling the market size in the next 3-5 years. High quality education is seen as a must not only in primary but also in vocational education. Finland has opportunity in introducing innovative learning concepts not only at the primary level but also at higher academic levels and in adult education. Private sector education would be the focus point. The growing population demands better facilities for transportation and India’s cities and towns have been evolving in this front. The utilization of better technologies and mechanisms to facilitate efficient transportation is the need of the hour in terms of intelligent transport systems, integrated services, etc. High-end construction especially the LEED certified projects are much in demand in India and the construction sector has grown by leaps and bounds. Green building technologies, building management systems, etc. are some of the sub-sectors that have good potential. Tourism between India and Finland is increasing, and Finland is also being marketed by Visit Finland as a destination. FINLAND- INDIA BUSINESS GUIDE 2012-13 l 45

    Ambassador’s Foreword Ladies andGentlemen, I am happy to present to you the Finland-India Business Guide 2012-13. The Guide provides a lot of useful information on Indo-Finnish economic and commercial relations. This year the Guide has been slightly remodelled by categorising the Finnish and Indian companies sector-wise. We hope that through this change this Guide provides better and more relevant information to its readers. Finland and India enjoy excellent relations and substantive bilateral partnerships in various fields of cooperation. We are very pleased that the Agreement on Social Security between Finland and India was signed in New Delhi in June 2012. This Agreement complements the already comprehensive contractual relationship between the Governments of Finland and India. The Agreement affects the social security of people moving between Finland and India and applies to pensions, in particular. It enables preventing double pension contributions, which is important for Finnish companies operating in India and the staff employed by them. The active exchange of high-level visits between our countries continued during the latter part of 2011 into 2012. Both the President of the Republic of Finland and the Speaker of the Parliament visited India in spring 2012. We also witnessed several Ministerial visits from Finland to India and vice versa. The 17th session of the Indo- Finnish Joint Commission was held in New Delhi in November 2011. The Joint Commission deals with questions concerning bilateral trade relations, their development and potential and examines scope for new modes of co- operation. Our capital Helsinki is the World Design Capital in 2012. The theme of the Helsinki World Design Capital year “Open Helsinki, Embedding Design in Life” indicates that today design can be found everywhere around us – not only in arts and culture but also in public services, education systems or in policy making. Without design, there would be no roads, no airplanes, no mobile phones or no cities. Design is becoming increasingly important for businesses worldwide as they strive to stay competitive. Design is also an important sector in cooperation between Finland and India. The Government of Finland adopted a cross-sectoral Action Plan on Finland’s External Economic Relations in May 2012. According to the Plan, a strategic steering group and secretariat working under the Prime Minister will draw up long-term strategic guidelines in view of promoting exports and internationalisation of Finnish businesses. One of the key premises of the Action Plan is that the focus of our economic and commercial relations is shifting towards developing markets like India. We will see the diverse cooperation between Finland and India strengthening even further in the future. The Embassy of Finland in New Delhi stands ready to do its best to facilitate this positive development. H.E. Ms. Terhi Hakala Ambassador of Finland FINLAND-INDIA BUSINESS GUIDE 2012-13 l 5

    Finpro Foreword Dear Reader, Welcometo explore the 2012-13 Business Guide giving insight to the growing number of Finnish companies, presently 120, who already have established their presence in India. There is almost another hundred companies exporting to the Indian market or operating in India via agents. Finnish companies investments into India have been over 1 billion euros over the years and they are employing already more than 30 000 people. The international success of Finnish companies is very important to Finland. Finpro through its services assists companies, especially the SME’s to boost their success in the different phases of internationalization. Finpro’s global network involves 400 professionals in 68 locations in almost 50 countries. Finpro operates under the Embassy of Finland in New Delhi. Additional to New Delhi we have dedicated partners working for us in Mumbai and Chennai. In June 2012 Investment In Finland operations were merged into Finpro, thus our responsibility being to increase promotion of inward investment into Finland. There are already many India companies established in Finland. The goal is to attract further investments into Finland. Due to the changes in the international business environment and shift in economic focus towards the emerging markets, Finnish SMEs are increasingly evaluating business possibilities within India’s 28 states and adjacent markets. The growth in the international business sector in India is about 6% annually, which translates into market potential for Finnish companies in developing sectors like: urban infrastructure, transport, building, automation in manufacturing, ICT in software & services, healthcare, education systems, food supply chain etc.. The main goal of the Indian Government Five Year Economic plan 2012-17 is faster, more sustainable and wider spread economic wealth for the Indian people which further enhances the fact that there is potential to be found. Finpro professionals are here at your service! We are part of the core team in the newly established TEAM FINLAND network.

    FinNode Message Dear Innovator, FinNodeIndia is part of the Finnish FinNode innovation network. FinNode connects Finnish and international experts and the know-how required to promote innovation. It reveals new openings for Finnish business and research organisations and supports their internationalisation. FinNode is an entity through which foreign partners can engage with all the central public innovation organisations in Finland. The other network countries are USA, China, Russia and Japan. FinNode India has identified opportunities for Finland-India collaboration in areas like clean water, energy efficiency, health and biotechnology, skills development and ICT. One overlapping interest area is frugal and inclusive innovation, where India has a lot to share with the rest of the world. FinNode India initiates joint projects in these focus areas to foster collaboration between India and Finland, to evaluate opportunities, and to identify new business models. Interest towards cooperation between Finnish and Indian organisations is growing fast. Finnish business, university and government delegations have visited India multiple times over the last year looking for concrete opportunities for doing things together. During the same time, three calls for joint research were executed with joint funding by Finnish and Indian government bodies. An interesting example of activities in FinNode’s projects was a piloting trip of small Finnish companies to rural Bihar. The companies were to test their innovations, such as an affordable house concept based on aluminium house frame, in real life settings with local people having long tradition of frugal innovation methods. Finland and Finnish organisations are strong in innovation and scaling up the innovations into wide use. Many globally leading and highly innovative Finnish companies are listed in this Business Guide. Let’s co-create solutions to the needs and problems of today and tomorrow!

    Setting Up aBusiness in Finland Business operations in Finland can be conducted as: • A private entrepreneur • A partnership • A limited liability company (formed by one or more individuals or legal entities) • A cooperative • A branch of a foreign company Business can be carried on in Finland by a natural person who is resident of the European Economic Area, Finnish organisation or foundation or a foreign organisation or foundation which has established a branch in Finland, established under the laws of a country belonging to the EEA and which has its registered office, central administration or principal place of business in a country belonging to the EEA. Most businesses must be registered with the Trade Register. Limited liability companies and co-operatives are among the most common company forms that are created through registration. When determining the best suited form of conducting business activities in Finland, the following points should be considered: 1. Number of Founders Individual entrepreneurs can conduct business activities in the form of a single-member company or as a private entrepreneur. Partnerships require minimum of two founders and cooperatives, at least three founders. A limited liability company may be a single-member company or may have several founders. 2. Required Capital For setting up a limited liability company, a minimum share capital of EUR 2,500 is required. There are no minimum capital requirements for cooperatives or general partnerships. For limited partnerships, a monetary investment is needed from the silent partner. 3. Division of Responsibilities in the Enterprise Private entrepreneurs, partners in general partnerships and general partners in limited partnerships are responsible for any liabilities of the business with their personal property. Shareholders in limited liability companies and members of cooperatives are responsible only for the amount of capital they have invested. FINLAND-INDIA BUSINESS GUIDE 2012-13 l 15
  • 16.
    4. Flexibility ofActivities A private entrepreneur is able to make all decisions on his/her own, partners in a general partnership and general partners in a limited partnership make decisions either jointly or solely, and limited liability companies are represented by their Board of Directors. In cooperatives, decisions are based on one member-one vote principle, irrespective of the amount of each member’s investment. 5. Continuity of Operations In partnerships, if stated in the original agreement contract, the share of one partner can be transferred to another person with the agreement of the other partners. In limited liability companies, shareholder changes do not have an effect on the existence of the company. Memberships of a cooperative cannot be sold, but if a sufficient level of unanimity is reached, the cooperative itself can be sold. 6. Profit Distribution and Loss Coverage A private entrepreneur retains all profits but is also responsible for possible losses. In general partnerships, profits and losses are distributed among the partners either as decreed by the law or as stated in the partnership agreement. Silent partners in limited partnerships are paid a share of the profit stated in the partnership agreement, but they do not contribute to the coverage of losses. Limited liability companies pay their shareholders dividends, based on the amount of shares of each shareholder. Dividends can be paid only from the profits of previous accounting periods or unrestricted shareholders’ equity after subtracting possible losses. In a limited liability company, the shareholders are responsible for the losses only for the amount they have invested, unless personal guarantees have been pledged for the company’s debts. The purpose of cooperatives is to provide services for their members, not obtaining profit as such. Surpluses can however, be distributed to the members, for example, in the form of extra wages, after first filling the reserve requirements laid on the cooperative. 7. Taxation Tax treatment varies depending on the form of the business, especially in regard to direct taxation. The joint effect of tax burdens falling on the form of business and on the entrepreneur(s) determines the choice that is most profitable in each specific case. Permits Required from Foreign Entrepreneurs Non-EU citizens are allowed to stay in Finland with a tourist status for three months; however, if they wish to work, they are requested to apply for a residence permit, even if the period of stay is for less than three months. Entrepreneurs entering Finland with an entrepreneur status are requested to apply for an entrepreneur’s residence permit, while still outside Finland.

    Setting Up aBusiness in India A foreign company can set up business operations in India either as a foreign company by establishing a liaison/representative office, project office or branch office or as a domestic company through equity participation in a joint venture company or as a wholly-owned subsidiary. A foreign company is one that has been incorporated outside India and establishes a place of business within India. Domestic companies are those incorporated in India. They are subject to same rules and regulations as Indian companies. Liaison/Representative Office A foreign company can set up a liaison/representative office in India to collect data about possible market opportunities, and provide information about the company and its products to prospective Indian customers. Liaison office is allowed to represent the parent company in India, promote export/import to/from India, promote technical or financial collaborations between parent company and companies in India, and act as a communications channel. Liaison office is not allowed to undertake any commercial, trading or industrial activity. Additionally, its operations in India are to be met out of inward remittances received from abroad. The companies willing to open a liaison office have to make an application to the Reserve Bank of India (RBI). The process of approval takes about three weeks. Permission to set up a liaison office is usually granted for an initial period of three years, which may be extended from time-to-time. Project Office A foreign company may open a project office in India provided it has secured from an Indian company, a contract to execute a project in India. Since project offices can be established only for a limited period of time, it is usually companies engaged in turnkey or installation projects that are setting them up. As per revised guidelines, recently issued by the RBI, no prior approval is required for setting up a project office. FINLAND-INDIA BUSINESS GUIDE 2012-13 l 17
  • 18.
    Branch Office Foreign companiesmanufacturing or trading abroad are permitted to set up branch offices in India for export/ import of goods, rendering services, carrying out research work, promoting collaborations, representing the parent company, and acting as a buying/selling agent in India. Permission for setting up branch offices is granted by the RBI on a case-to-case basis. Before granting the approval, the RBI normally takes into consideration the operating history of the applicant company worldwide and its proposed activities in India. The process of obtaining approval from the RBI takes about three weeks. Wholly-owned Subsidiary The first step in the establishment of a wholly-owned subsidiary is to find out whether 100 per cent foreign equity and entry through automatic route are allowed. This means that no prior government approval is required. Nowadays, this is the case apart from a few sectors, which are either subject to Foreign Investment Promotion Board (FIPB) approval or restricted altogether. The norms for Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) in India are governed by the Foreign Direct Investment Policy of the Government of India, Foreign Exchange Management Act 1999 and the Foreign Exchange Management (Transfer or issue of security by a person residing outside India) Regulations 2000 issued by the RBI. For registration as an Indian company and its incorporation, an application has to be filed with the Registrar of Companies (ROC). A private limited company in India requires a minimum of two shareholders and a public limited company, a minimum of seven members. The minimum capitalisation norms for private and public companies are ` 100,000 and ` 500,000 respectively. Joint Venture The same rules applicable to wholly-owned subsidiaries, apply to joint venture companies, the only difference being the form of partnership between Indian and foreign companies. This is often a practical way to establish a presence.

    Important Business Sectors for Indo-Finnish Cooperation TELECOM The Indian telecom sector is among the fastest growing in the world with 930 million wireless subscribers (31st May 2012) and corresponding teledensity of 76.68%. Mobile value added services have been a key growth driver over the last few years with strong future growth expected in m-health, governance, commerce, banking, education and entertainment; cloud-based applications will also witness substantial uptake. There is strong policy focus on promotion of telecom R&D, aimed at making India a hub for telecom manufacturing by incentivising domestic manufacturers with thrust on IPR, product development and commercialization, and also offering preferential market access for indigenously manufactured products. The Government aims to increase broadband access to 175 million and provide mobile access to all villages and rural teledensity of at least 60% by 2017. IT-BPO Indian IT-BPO constitutes 58% of the global sourcing industry in terms of market share. Aggregate revenues are estimated to cross the USD 100 billion mark with exports at USD 69 billion (Source: Nasscom). The buzzword of the decade is ‘innovation’ with emphasis on new business and delivery models, new products and services, besides the need to localize for the significant domestic market. India offers significant advantages of skills availability and cost effectiveness sustainable in the long term due to the young demographic profile of the country, in addition to the rapidly expanding global delivery footprint and enhanced service delivery efficiency. Other areas showing significant growth and offering opportunities to foreign companies are: IT Services (consulting, systems integration, IT outsourcing/managed services/hosting services, training and support/maintenance); Engineering and R&D Services; and Data Centre Services. The industry has also been moving towards Green IT, helping customers lower their carbon footprint through adoption of environment-friendly technology. Life Sciences Healthcare market is one of the fastest growing markets in India. The Euro 25 billion industry is expected to continue growing annually by 10-12 per cent and is thus, expected to reach over Euro 53 billion by 2012 and Euro 108 billion by 2017. The sectors showing highest growth in demand are medical infrastructure, medical equipment and medical textiles. The Indian domestic pharmaceutical market is around Euro 7 billion, being one of the biggest sectors in Life sciences. Growing number of the manufacturers have international quality certificates. Medical diagnostics is an interesting area for collaboration due to continuous market growth of 10-15 per cent per year, but also due to opportunities in manufacturing or R&D collaboration. Clinical research services sector in India is growing annually by 25 per cent and due to cost efficiency it offers an interesting opportunity for the Finnish manufacturers.

    India is gearingup to be the ultimate health tourism destination by upgrading the existing infrastructure to world standards. The food industry is also interesting: the semi-processed and ready-to-eat packaged food industry is growing at over 20 per cent a year. The retail sector is growing at 6 per cent. Value addition in food processing and increased health awareness as well as demand for special foods, e.g. targeted for diabetics or persons with high cholesterol create demand for smaller players with special products or ingredients. “Food Safety and Standard act which came into force in August 2011 will increase hygienic practices and control, thus creating demand of tests and training.” Energy, Environment and Forestry India ranks sixth in the world in total energy consumption and needs to accelerate the development of the sector to reach the goal to provide energy security to all. The Indian energy basket has a mix of all the resources available including renewables. In the 12th Five-Year Plan, India plans to add about 75785 MW of energy of which 82% is proposed to be coal-based, with an estimated investment requirement of about €100 billion. The total fund requirements for Generation, CPP, Repair and Maintenance, Transmission and Distribution, Renewables etc. is estimated to be about €200 billion. Renewable energy sources are expected to add around 30500 MW of installed capacity, whereas captive power plants are expected to add around 13000MW during this period. The lack of availability of quality coal in the domestic market and increasing costs of imported coal has hit the Indian thermal power producers in a big way in recent years. This has raised the interest levels among many key stakeholders in the power sector to look at alternate sources of energy. Finnish companies, with their expertise in Cleantech and other advanced energy management solutions have the opportunity to tap this promising sector. The main areas offering investment opportunities are a) Green energy or renewable energies like wind, solar, biofuel, small hydro and alternative energy sources like waste to energy, b) Environment monitoring and measuring and industrial pollution control, c) Clean manufacturing technologies in different sectors, d) Energy audit and efficiency services, e) Waste management – especially solid and eWastes, f ) Clean water and sanitation, g) Carbon trading or CDM opportunities, h) Green buildings, i) Know-how and equipment for the upcoming nuclear power generation capacities, j) Power plant equipment and machinery, k) Transmission equipment and network automation. 42 l FINLAND- INDIA BUSINESS GUIDE 2012-13

    India represents akey market for clean technology companies. India is investing billions into solar, wind, bio- agriculture, desalination, recycling, water management, waste, and e-waste, calling for international partnerships. The objective of the Indian government is to foster a second Green Revolution. There is a thrust in the 12th Five Year Plan towards private investments in the use of clean energy. Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) in environment equipment and services is allowed under the automatic route with up to 100 percent foreign equity holding. The main market drivers of the India Environment Market include stricter governmental regulations, growing public awareness, depletion of natural resources, increasing human-environment conflicts, rapid economic growth, and the pressures from the global climate negotiations, which are leading to adoption of newer and cleaner technologies, and a growing clean tech industry. Major opportunities in the environment sector include wastewater treatment especially municipal sewage treatment, clean water and sanitation, air pollution control, hazardous waste management, municipal solid waste-to-energy/composts projects, environmental instrumentation, environmental monitoring, measuring and industrial pollution control, clean manufacturing technologies in different sectors, energy audit and efficiency services, and consulting & training. The adoption of newer and cleaner technologies from Finland will help India to leapfrog into a more sustainable growth pathway as the Indian economy grows rapidly. India is a timber-deficient country. Given the decline in domestic production of industrial timber and the growing demand for wood products, India offers an enormous potential market for Finnish softwood, veneer, thermo-treated wood and wood treatment machinery. Other potential areas are paper production technology (equipment front); raw material handling, separation of pith and fibre technology (TECHNOLOGY front), tissue culture lab; environment: energy efficiency, waste management, training; Power generation: bio-methanation to power; technology for value addition of paper products like coating of paper and innovative packaging. Construction, Logistics and Machinery India’s infrastructure opportunities will continue to be a priority for the economy and the Government in the coming decade. The infrastructure sector accounts for more than 25 percent of India’s industrial output. The infrastructure today in India offers tremendous opportunities for industrial houses and foreign companies in construction, logistics and machinery. Irrespective of global or slight domestic slowdown, the need to develop the infrastructure in India has always been a top priority for government in power. The strong level of economic growth achieved in India in recent years has led to an expansion of industry, commerce and per-capita income, which, in turn, have fuelled the demand for infrastructure services. India is one of the largest and most dynamic infrastructure and project finance markets in the world with the total number of project based Special Purpose Vehicles (SPVs) at around 800, according to Ratings Agency Fitch. The investment in infrastructure is likely to touch 10 per cent of GDP in the 12th Five Year Plan (2012-2017). With the increasing investment, the share of private sector in the total investment on infrastructure has increased rapidly. The contribution of private sector in total infrastructure investment in each of the first two years of 11th Plan (2007-2012) was around 34 per cent. This is higher than the 11th Plan target of 30 per cent and 25 per cent achieved in 10th Plan period. It is expected to rise to 36 per cent by the end of 11th Plan and 50 per cent during the 12th Plan (2012-2017). Public Private Partnership is encouraged by the Government to meet the infrastructure objectives and hence there are many opportunities for the private players in Indian market. The sector does not have any restriction of investment by a foreign company and foreign investment is encouraged in this sector. Companies with medium to long term objective can grow manifold in this market as it offers ample opportunities for growth. FINLAND- INDIA BUSINESS GUIDE 2012-13 l 43

    Construction & Mining Themining sector, particularly in India, is getting more organised, structured and transparent than in the past. This will allow more possibilities for international and domestic companies to participate in the mining opportunities. Heavy machinery and component manufacturing industry, especially earth moving equipment machinery, has a high demand in India. Shipping India’s Ministry of Shipping announced plans to carry out more than 22 new projects starting 2012. The projects will involve an investment of more than INR160bn (US$3.21bn). The ministry is also discussing Land Use Policy and Coastal Shipping. The Ministry of Shipping plans to invest US$ 13.45 billion for development of various projects in the port sector as a part of the 12th Five Year Plan (2012-17). Airports Aircraft maintenance, repair and overhaul (MRO) sector is on a growth path in the country. The sector holds a lot of opportunities for companies within the technical services outsourcing business domain. Passengers carried by domestic airlines during Jan-Jun 2012 (half yearly) were 31 mn as against 29.8 mn during the corresponding period of previous year, thereby registering a growth of 3.71 per cent, according to the latest data released by the Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA). This is despite slowdown globally and slight in India too. The number of scheduled passenger airline operators has grown to 15 and the number of aircraft in their fleet has risen to more than 400. International flights have increased to 706 flights per week. Due to enhanced opportunities for international connectivity, 69 foreign airlines from 49 countries are flying into India. Roadways In March 2012, the Indian Government had launched an INR200bn (US$4bn) tender for 15 road infrastructure projects under a design, build, operate, finance and transfer (DBOFT) basis. 10 of the projects will involve the widening of roads to four-lane highways, whilst a further three will see roads widened to six-lane highways. E-Waste As per the E-waste Management and Handling Rules 2011 which came into effect from May 1, 2012, it is now the producers’ liability for recycling and reducing e-waste. These rules apply to every producer, consumer or bulk consumer, collection centre, dismantler and recycler of e-waste involved in manufacture, sale, purchase 44 l FINLAND- INDIA BUSINESS GUIDE 2012-13

    and processing ofelectronic equipment or components. This also creates a tremendous market opportunity for e-waste management service providers. India as a Major Manufacturing Hub India is being recognised as a destination for outsourcing of custom-based, high-technology manufacturing activities. Although, India is more on service sector, the need to focus on manufacturing is emphasised and manufacturing will gain momentum in the coming years.There are various incentives for manufacturing in India. Logistics is a fast growing sector, with approximately 110 logistics parks and 45 million sq ft of warehousing space to be developed across the country. Services – Education, Knowledge-Intensive Businesses, Design, Travel And Leisure, Well- Being Services With increasing affluence there is a rising demand in high end services especially in the sectors of Retail, Education, Transportation and Construction. Retail has seen revolutionary changes with radical policy changes and various players entering the organized retail. The organized version of retail is poised for doubling the market size in the next 3-5 years. High quality education is seen as a must not only in primary but also in vocational education. Finland has opportunity in introducing innovative learning concepts not only at the primary level but also at higher academic levels and in adult education. Private sector education would be the focus point. The growing population demands better facilities for transportation and India’s cities and towns have been evolving in this front. The utilization of better technologies and mechanisms to facilitate efficient transportation is the need of the hour in terms of intelligent transport systems, integrated services, etc. High-end construction especially the LEED certified projects are much in demand in India and the construction sector has grown by leaps and bounds. Green building technologies, building management systems, etc. are some of the sub-sectors that have good potential. Tourism between India and Finland is increasing, and Finland is also being marketed by Visit Finland as a destination. FINLAND- INDIA BUSINESS GUIDE 2012-13 l 45
