India is set to become the most populous country on Earth, but can still be a mystery to outsiders. The country can seem both open and welcoming to outsiders while at the same time fiercely protective of its own industries and homegrown companies. Meanwhile, its linguistic, cultural, and ethnic landscapes present such rich diversity that developing strategies for the Indian market can make it seem more continent than country. Therefore, we assembled this Starter Guide to help make sense of the country’s many complexities, and give interested companies a basic idea of how they might approach market entry.
