India presents many opportunities for business expansion due to its large population, strong GDP growth, and growing middle class. However, companies must navigate a complex regulatory environment and carefully structure their operations to comply with India's many labor laws. Setting up a wholly owned subsidiary or joint venture are two common options for market entry that require consideration of tax implications, level of control, and other strategic factors. With local expertise and a thorough understanding of compliance requirements, companies can establish successful operations while avoiding common pitfalls in this large but challenging market.

“While looking at the prospect of setting-up business in India, it would be careful to see what all options are available to a new entrepreneur. Before setting-up a business in India, an entrepreneur generally faces with the following important questions: Which form of business to set-up, Where to set-up, How to set-up, what are post set-up compliances?”
“In case you are a Foreign National/ resident and are planning to set up your business either independently or in Joint Venture with an Indian Party, it is necessary to check the Foreign Direct Investment policy of India before taking any decision.”

Understanding User Needs and Satisfying ThemAggregage
https://www.productmanagementtoday.com/frs/26903918/understanding-user-needs-and-satisfying-them
We know we want to create products which our customers find to be valuable. Whether we label it as customer-centric or product-led depends on how long we've been doing product management. There are three challenges we face when doing this. The obvious challenge is figuring out what our users need; the non-obvious challenges are in creating a shared understanding of those needs and in sensing if what we're doing is meeting those needs.
In this webinar, we won't focus on the research methods for discovering user-needs. We will focus on synthesis of the needs we discover, communication and alignment tools, and how we operationalize addressing those needs.
Industry expert Scott Sehlhorst will:
• Introduce a taxonomy for user goals with real world examples
• Present the Onion Diagram, a tool for contextualizing task-level goals
• Illustrate how customer journey maps capture activity-level and task-level goals
• Demonstrate the best approach to selection and prioritization of user-goals to address
• Highlight the crucial benchmarks, observable changes, in ensuring fulfillment of customer needs

Why?
• New source of revenue with continued long term growth opportunities
• Strong pool of technically and professionally qualified labor
• New technology partners and research opportunities
• Key strategic market – attractive to potential investors in your business
• Without many of the challenges faced in China
The Challenges
• Highly bureaucratic – need for strong local administrative partner
• Everyone keen to help and ‘can do’ attitude – does not always lead to
desired results
• Very large market with regional differences
• Despite English language, things still do sometimes get lost in translation
8. Setting Up in India: Permanent Establishment
8
Three kinds of PE in India:
1. Basic Rule PE: A fixed place of business exists where the business of the
enterprise is at least partly carried on. Must be a reasonable permanence to
constitute PE.
2. Agency PE: Occurs when a dependent agent appointed by the foreign enterprise
has the authority to secure conclude contracts and/or maintains stock of goods
and delivers on behalf of the enterprise.
3. Service PE: Can occur when employees of foreign enterprise furnish or perform
services other than those covered under Royalties or Fees for Technical Services.
Key Considerations:
• India strictly avoids double taxation by only taxing profits in the country that are
actually attributable to the PE.
• PE is created only when linked to revenue-generating activities. A local presence for
other business activities (research, storage of goods, etc.) are typically permitted.

12. Labor Laws & the Labor Market
12
Huge volume of labor legislations enacted by central and state governments
Movement away from a protectionist model to stay internationally
competitive
The applicability of legislation depends on
• Nature of activity (“factory”, “industry”, “shop”, or “establishment”)
• Number of employees employed
• Location of the organization
Laws regulate general working conditions, as well as procedures in specific
industries (building & construction, pharmaceuticals, dockyards, mines)
Key Considerations:
As the employment environment is getting more competitive in India, the regulatory
authorities have shown considerable flexibility towards a few labor compliances for
industries like Media, Hospitality, IT & ITES. International companies must avoid
misunderstanding local statutory requirements and compliances.
13. Key Laws at a Glance
13
Industrial Dispute Act (ID): Provides procedure for the negotiation of industrial
disputes (retrenchment, lay-off, closure, change in service conditions, etc.)
Local Shops and Establishments Act (S&E): Regulates service conditions such as
hours of work, payment of wages, overtime, leave etc. Can vary state-to-state
Contract Labor Regulation and Abolition Act (CLRA): Regulates employment of
contract labor and provides for its abolition in certain circumstances
Employees Provident Funds &Miscellaneous Provisions Act (PF): Mandates
compulsory contributory provident fund, pension and insurance
Employees State Insurance Act (ESI): Provides benefits to employees for leave
(i.e. maternity, temporary or permanent disability, etc.)
Payment of Gratuity Act (PG): Provides for payment of gratuity to all employees in
specified establishments in which 10+ persons are employed
14. Labor Law - Penalties
14
Most labor laws hold all those in charge at the time of the offence
responsible
Penaties can include officers and directors
• Exception: Proof that the offence was committed without a person’s
knowledge or that he/she exercised all due diligence to prevent the
commission of such offence
• Penalties can range from fines to imprisonment of company
representatives
It is therefore important to be compliant from day one and plan your HR
strategy with due care and attention. Penalites are then easily avoided.
15. Employee Engagement
15
Most Indian employerstypically hire directly (temp or perm)
Employers can also engage consultants and/or contract labor through
a service provider/ contractor as the agency model is expanding
In hiring/terminating employees, consider the following concerning
labor laws:
• Whether or not the employee in question is a workman or professional
• Total number of employees in the establishment or office or factory
• Nature of business in which the employer is engaged, and the nature of
work being performed by the employee in the course of his employment
• Monthly wages of the employee
• State in which the office/establishment/ factory is located
16. Current Market Employment Scenario
16
Much economic liberalization in India in the last two decades has
fuelled a hugely expanded workforce (particularly in urban regions)
Regulatory authorities more willing to recognize the right of the
employer to carry on his business in the manner he/she thinks fit
commercially, as long as employer is compliant with minimum
requirements
India is typically a very hierarchial environment. This is changing
rapidly as a new young well educated workforce emerges, though Job
Titles, Status and Reporting Lines are still very important
considerations in the work environment
A general weakening of the trade union movement as the private
sector in India expands
17. Business Best Practices
17
Develop a thorough business plan and be realistic about timing
Take time to pick your partners and location of focus
Work with local support organizations that understand your
objectives, culture and objectives and who will look after your
interests
Enter the market step by step, but then be prepared to focus and
scale your local business
Ensure you have focused and committed support from your
international management office. Local teams need management
and guidance.
