Corporate Services
When it comes to doing business with India, it's not always as straightforward as you might think. There are cultural differences, and the Western idea of just getting a job done can be quite alien to some companies here. We know, because we have experienced it firsthand. Wire is therefore pleased to extend its range of services to include corporate activities - from event and destination management through to establishing your business operations here.
Our expertise? We draw extensive experience of working at national and international level with companies in Europe. Whether it's the technology sector or FMCG our understanding of clients' needs allows us to cut to the chase and make sure projects happen in the most (cost) effective way possible. Add to this our organisational strength and contacts here in Rajasthan - it makes us the perfect intermediary. We never lose sight of our Western business ideals and match the the right Indian business partners to your requirements.
For corporate events, we already have excellent relationships with the top hotel chains, as well as being able to access some unique destinations, so whatever the message you're trying to get across to your internal or external network, we' ll find the perfect setting to do it. We're also very happy to develop a total concept for your event, turning it from an event in to an experience. Even if we're just facilitating, we aim to integrate seemlessly in to your operations and to be a business partner that you can rely on.
For companies wishing to set up operations in Rajasthan (from manufacturing to call centres) we're well versed in the incorporation procedures and have a range of trusted professional services partners who can act on your behalf. We operate in a transparent way and present you with the real costs and work for a set fee, avoiding any hidden surprises. We also undertake price negotiations on your behalf, making sure that you get the best deal. If you don't already have an office in Rajasthan, we can also provide registered office services while we help you to find the right premises.
- Product launches
-
Launching a new product? Make a serious statement. Whether your product is related to India, or you simply want a stunning backdrop to the launch, Wire draws on all aspects of life in India to create an sensory experience that will leave a lasting impression for both your brand and the product itself. We can work equally well implementing your own concept - or developing a total concept on your behalf. Either way, work on your behalf to ensure that all of your goals are achieved, with precision and care.
- Press trips
-
If you already have connections with India and would like to show your media contacts your operations here, then Wire can plan a perfectly balanced trip for you. Combining essential business aspects such as facilities tours, introductions with key personnel and more informal meeting opportunities with the unparalleled history, culture and beauty of Rajasthan (and neighbouring states), even the shortest visit can be one that will be extremely memorable. And memorable translates to more likely to be achieve the right media coverage.
- Incentive travel
-
Rewarding staff, supply chain partners or retailers always requires an impressive and somewhat exotic destination - Rajsathan fits the bill perfectly. We tailor every aspect of the trip to your needs, allowing you to easily mix business with pleasure. Working with some of the world's most luxurious hotels, and with a very healthy dose of Indian heritage, culture and chaos, we design incentive trips that capture both the heart and the imagination - which together leave your guests with some real inspiration.
- Corporate meetings
-
Whether it's a high-level executive meeting, inter-company negotiations or a team building forum our connections in the hospitality arena make it possible for us to offer a seamless service. We operate in the background, leaving you to focus on the important business at hand. Our handpicked hotels and resorts cover a wide range of settings each one unique in its way and suitable for creating different meeting environments. We are skilled and experienced in dealing with VIP guests and ensuring that every single element of the trip is personally taken care of.
- Site inspections
-
If you are already planning your own event in India, then we are here to provide you with any insight or on-the-ground knowledge that you might require for planning purposes. We are happy to work as a one-time hire, providing you with detailed feedback on your requests. We will happily evaluate or shortlist potential venues or suppliers and do not work on a commission basis, therefore our time is billed hourly and not on a commission basis.
- Representation
-
For companies with an interest in India (you might have a small operation here, or just be interested in developing ties with Indian companies) we provide representation - acting as your face in the Indian market. Our remit can be as wide or narrow as you require - the main objective is to give you a presence without the need for establishing an office or basing a full-time employee in India. We can take one-off instructions, work on a project basis or be a retained agent.
- In-country management
-
Much like representation, we can act on your behalf, providing your presence in India. Our in-country management is targetted specifically at companies who have or are planning some form of operations in India and require management personnel on the ground, without having to transfer a member of your own staff to India. Our team comprises European managers with a broad range of sector experience and all used to doing business in India. For many companies the key benefits of this service are in ensuring quality standards and on-time delivery in line with Western expectations. Our services also extend to providing leadership for locally employed staff.
- Consulting
-
If you are considering starting operations in India, there are many abstract factors that need to be taken in to consideration besides normal planning processes. Our expertise is in understanding the Indian market and the politics of doing business in India. In a consulting capacity we provide preliminary reports on your requested topics or business area, including detailed research and face-to-face interview material to give you a better understanding of the opportunities and risks. Depending on the level of detail required, we can make extensive enquiries with government departments, investment agencies and other official bodies to give you a clear picture on any incentives that might exist, as well as the detailed procedures for foreign companies investing in India. Our service incorporates advice from qualified and experienced Chartered Accountants and lawyers, giving you the most objective, up-to-date and accurate information available.
- Incorporation of a business in Rajasthan
-
The process of setting up a business in Rajasthan is relatively straightforward, but there is a strict order of filing that needs to be observed. At the first crucial stage, you will need a designated office and the ability to get the necessary documents stamped and filed within the correct timeframes. Although this should be achievable from outside India, in practice we find that it is often a lot quicker when done in person in Jaipur (the capital of Rajasthan). We can provide detailed information on the incorporation process, as well as registered office facilities to make the process go smoothly. In addition we can provide a list of reputable professionals who will be able to take care of the necessary legal paperwork on your behalf. Acting as an intermediary we will at all times represent your interests and monitor the process to ensure that you are kept informed and have suitable checks and balances in place.
- Sourcing and supplier selection
-
Indian companies can be a little over optimistic at times - many will tell you that 'x' is possible when really it's not. It's a simple cultural difference, but means that when you are looking for potential suppliers the process can be arduous. Add to this the distances to be covered between suppliers and you can quite soon face a lengthy trip in order to even get your shortlisted candidates. We're already on the ground in Rajasthan - so let us do the legwork and initial meetings and then provide you a candidate list. As well as native-Enlgish speaking staff, we also have Hindi and Rajasthani speaking staff and can therefore expedite the process. Our experience of working with Indian suppliers gives us some more intangible selection criteria to add to your detailed functional requirements.
- Reference checking
-
It's quite common for things to be stamped, sealed, notarised or even 'government approved' here in India - but how do you know what's genuine and what's not?As with our other services, we can personally visit candidate companies (even candidate employees) to ascertain their credentials, as well as undertaking verification with certification bodies and government departments.
