We help US, EU, and global startups go from "we want to enter India" to "we are operating in India" — in months, not years. On-ground expertise. Real networks. End-to-end accountability.
Most global startups underestimate India's complexity — and overestimate how much their existing playbook will transfer. Here's what gets in the way:
Building a channel from scratch takes 12–18 months without the right introductions. The wrong partners cost you far more.
From GST compliance to import licensing to data localisation — India's regulatory landscape is real and non-negotiable.
Indian business runs on trust and personal relationships. Cold outreach doesn't open the doors that a warm introduction does.
Your global pricing and messaging rarely translate directly. India requires deliberate localisation across every customer touchpoint.
We don't just advise — we work alongside your team, acting as your extended India office until you're ready to stand independently. Every service is built around one goal: reducing your time to market and increasing your probability of success.
Before you spend a dollar on India, you need to know exactly where to play and how to win. We conduct deep market sizing, segment analysis, competitive mapping, and customer research to build a launch roadmap tailored to your product and category. This includes pricing strategy for India's multi-tier market, positioning that resonates with Indian buyers, and a clear sequencing plan — which cities first, which segments to target, and what milestones define success in Year 1.
Distribution is the single most common reason global startups fail in India — either they can't find the right partners, or they onboard the wrong ones. We leverage our established network across Tier 1 and Tier 2 cities to identify, vet, and onboard the right distributors, resellers, channel partners, and retail networks for your category. We handle due diligence, commercial negotiation, and the structural setup of your 2–3 tier distribution model — so you start with a channel that actually performs.
Operating in India requires policies and processes built specifically for its regulatory environment and business culture. We design partner agreements, pricing structures, margin frameworks, returns policies, and compliance protocols adapted for India — saving you from costly missteps. Whether it's GST-compliant invoicing, FSSAI considerations for consumer products, or IT Act compliance for SaaS, we ensure your operational foundation is solid before your first rupee of revenue.
In India, relationships aren't built over email — they're built in rooms. We design and run channel engagement programmes that turn transactional partners into committed advocates for your brand. This includes city roadshows, partner summits, product workshops, and ongoing digital engagement through webinars and training modules. Partners who feel invested in your brand sell harder. We make sure yours do.
Strategy without execution is just a document. Our end-to-end implementation service means we sit alongside your team and actually drive your India launch — managing vendor relationships, coordinating logistics, hiring and briefing local staff or agency partners, and tracking performance against your GTM milestones. We act as your India country lead until you're ready to build that capability internally. On time. On budget. With no surprises.
Your global sales playbook needs translation — not just linguistically, but culturally. Indian buyers ask different questions, need different proof points, and respond to different motivators than your existing customers. We train your local team or channel partners on your product, your value proposition, and a sales process adapted for Indian buyer behaviour — so every conversation moves in the right direction from day one.
The difference between advice and outcomes is execution. We show up as partners, not report-writers.

Over 4–6 weeks, we deliver a detailed India market entry plan: target segments, geographic prioritisation, competitive landscape, pricing and positioning recommendations, and a channel architecture tailored to your category. You leave with a document you can actually act on — not 80 slides of frameworks.
We activate our network to surface, vet, and introduce the right distribution and channel partners. We manage the commercial conversations, negotiate terms, and build the agreements — so you start with partners who are committed and qualified.
We manage your India launch operationally — coordinating logistics, training partners, running activation events, and tracking performance weekly. Think of us as your India country manager, without the cost of a full-time hire before you're ready.
Once traction is established, we help you build your own internal India team, transfer institutional knowledge, and create the systems that let the business run independently. We stay on as advisors for as long as you need us.
A US-based B2B SaaS company engaged JB NewGen to lead their India market entry. They had zero local presence, no distribution contacts, and 90 days to show their board early traction.
In 110 days, they had an operational channel across 4 metros, their first 3 enterprise pilot customers, and a local partner manager on the ground. Their Year 1 India ARR exceeded original projections by 40%.
