6. Asia‟s Odd Couple: India
and Japan
Why history favours this
collaboration

7. History
It all started way back in 6th century, when
Buddha went to Japan.
The cultural impacts of Bodhisena and its Indian
roots have made Japan and India very much
closer to each other.
Despite Cold Wars the Relationship between
India and Japan has strengthened.

India has been a promising market for
Japan, with 1000 Japanese companies all ready
setting up a base in India
Indian Engineers have been known to be a part
of the backbone for Japan.

9. Yin and Yang
Japan is neat, efficient and organized. They
prefer precision and orderliness. India works only
on “jugaad”. Here the things rarely work via the
order set out.
What makes Indians and Japanese hold the
same ground is our deep respect and desire for
family grounds.
For instance age old customs like ‟kamioki‟
where at age of five children shave their heads
for good health.

10. Yet the „Win-Win‟ Situation
 Japan has an experienced
and knowledgeable
population
 India is youthful, skilled and
intelligent who are constantly
embracing the new.
 Japan has strong
brand, Technology, and
capital to invest
 India has a desire to grow and
has capacity to consume.
 Japan can find a way out
of their saturated market
through India.
 India has natural resources
and desirable geographic
locations

11. India a treasure to Explore!
Being the world‟s largest democracy. India has
splendid diversity with 28 states and multiple
languages
The consumer needs are diverse and to put up
a challenge; understanding the rules of business
from set up to taxation, from laws and legality to
marketing and distribution is a daunting task.
