Why Indian Businesses Are Going Global
Over the past few years, Indian companies have moved from being local champions to global contenders.
With India’s GDP growth projected at 6.8% for FY 2025 (World Bank, 2025), and FDI inflows reaching US $81.04 billion in FY 2024-25 (India Briefing, 2025), local firms are seizing the moment to expand business overseas from India.
The world sees India as a hub of innovation, cost-efficient manufacturing, and digital talent. Yet, expanding internationally requires more than ambition, it demands a global expansion team with on-ground expertise, legal clarity, and proven market strategy.

Key Challenges Indian Companies Face in Going Global
1. Regulatory Complexity
Each market- Germany, Mexico, or UAE has its own business registration, licensing, and compliance rules. Missing a document or misinterpreting a regulation can delay your launch by months.
2. Finding the Right Partners
Expanding alone is risky. Reliable local partners make or break market success. Expandeers offers sales & partner network setup services that help identify, onboard, and manage trustworthy distributors or collaborators.
3. Sales Strategy Misalignment
Indian pricing and customer behaviour differ vastly from European or Middle Eastern markets. Expandeers’ sales consulting services adapt your pricing, pitch, and positioning to fit international buyers.
4. Talent & Cultural Fit
We help Indian firms hire or train multicultural teams that align with your HQ vision while adapting to local culture bridging communication gaps and ensuring sustained performance.
Case Study – From Mumbai to Munich in 6 Months
An Indian industrial automation firm approached Expandeers to set up operations in Germany.

Result:
Within 6 months, they closed €1.4 million in orders, a 32% increase in overseas sales versus the previous year. Their global team now spans India, Germany, and Dubai, with Expandeers providing continuous partner management.
