Why now
What we do
Not a slide deck of advice. The hands that set it up, stand it up, and run it until your own people can carry it.
Entry strategy, the right route (employer of record or subsidiary), compliance (CBAM, GDPR), and your first European customers.
Partnerships and alliances, your first European team, and the supplier and distribution network that makes the entity real.
Hands-on operating leadership of the new entity. Turn it around if needed, drive performance, then hand it to your own people.
The operator
I have run the Indian subsidiary of a French company and the French subsidiary of an Indian one. For 30 years I have built and led industrial operations across the Europe-Asia bridge. Now I help Asian companies do the hard part: standing up and running a real business in Europe.
Who it's for
Tier 1 and Tier 2 suppliers setting up European production, sales and engineering presence.
Chinese and Asian EV makers localizing under EU tariffs: plants, partnerships, shared capacity.
Indian engineering and software-defined-vehicle firms capturing the EU-India trade opening.
