Multiply Your Business Through Partnership

India is fast becoming a major source of foreign investment for the rest of the world. A number of private and state-owned players are progressively expanding their footprints abroad through direct investments. In the next 15 years, over 2,200 Indian firms are expected to invest in markets overseas. Indian firms invest in foreign shores primarily through mergers and acquisition (M&A) transactions. With increasing M&A, companies will get direct access to newer, more extensive markets and better technologies, which would enable them to increase their customer base and achieve a global reach. The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) recently liberalized/rationalised guidelines for foreign investments abroad by Indian companies. It raised the annual overseas investment ceiling for Indians to US$ 125,000 from US$ 75,000 to establish joint ventures (JV) and wholly owned subsidiaries. The government's supportive policy regime complemented by India Inc's experimenting outlook could lead to an upward trend in outward foreign direct investment (FDI) in future.
