Why India? Why Now?

India has one of the fastest-growing major economies in the world, with GDP growing around 6–7% p.a., offering large consumer markets and manufacturing hubs.

The Indian government has introduced various incentives for foreign direct investment (FDI) in sectors such as manufacturing, infrastructure and services.

With strong bilateral ties between India and ASEAN countries, increasing Vietnamese businesses are exploring India as a strategic manufacturing or export base.

Alongside business growth, compliance and governance expectations are high – meaning professional advisors are essential.
