Why are the case studies anonymised?
Our clients are companies that often do not want their India plans public. We do not name clients or publish quotes. Each case study describes the situation, the work and the result without identifying the company, and we describe details such as industry or headcount only where the client has agreed.
What does each case study cover?
Every case study follows the same structure, so you can compare them:
- Situation: who the client was, what they needed and what limited them.
- What we did: the services delivered and the sequence.
- Result: what changed, and how long it took.
- What made the difference: the factors that sped up or slowed the work, so you can plan for the same ones.
The first case study describes an overseas group’s Indian subsidiary set up in under three weeks, against an industry-standard 8 to 12 weeks. We add further examples, such as a global capability centre or a Singapore parent, only after the client has agreed to publication.
How should you read them?
Read a case study as an illustration. Every entry has different facts, a different parent country and different timing constraints, and rules change. Use the cost and timeline page to see what drives your own estimate.
