Enter India Strategically: Joint Ventures & M&A Advisory

For many international businesses, the most effective way to enter India is through a Joint Venture (JV) or Merger & Acquisition (M&A) with an established local company. These routes offer immediate access to infrastructure, products, and market know-how—but they come with challenges such as finding the right partner and aligning on valuations.

Maier Vidorno Altios simplifies this journey. We support foreign companies with both buy-side and sell-side mandates, helping them:

/Why do most international JVs in India fail early?

Over 50% fail within five years due to poor cultural alignment, unclear legal frameworks, and insufficient operational due diligence—making long-term compatibility and strategy essential from the outset.

/ What cultural factors affect joint venture success in India?

Indirect communication, hierarchy, decision-making speed, and willingness to integrate teams all influence JV harmony. Misunderstanding these can delay decisions and break down trust between partners.

/How should due diligence go beyond financial checks?

Evaluate production metrics, supply chain strength, customer satisfaction, compliance history, and scalability. Operational gaps and ethical red flags often surface only when you measure these deeper indicators.
