For Australian businesses, India is increasingly shifting from being simply another overseas market to becoming a clear and attractive option for global business expansion.
With a population exceeding 1.4 billion, an economy growing at approximately 6–7%, and consumers increasingly willing to try new brands when they see value, India provides significant opportunities across industries.

India Is Not One Single Market
One of the biggest challenges for businesses entering India is understanding that India is not one uniform market.
Consumer behaviour can vary significantly between cities and regions. What works well in Mumbai or Delhi may not necessarily work in Mysore or Coimbatore.
Language, regional culture, local preferences, purchasing behaviour and even weather can influence how consumers respond to a product or service.
For businesses planning market entry into India, understanding these regional differences is essential for building the right positioning and go-to-market strategy.
Finding the Right Market Fit in India
Entering a new market is not only about having a strong product. Businesses also need to understand where their product fits and how to take it to market.
At Devakey, we have worked with businesses across manufacturing, services, education and healthcare to develop positioning that works in India and build demand-generation strategies that can convert local audiences.
The product may already be built. The next step is identifying the right market, audience, positioning and market expansion strategy.
Exploring India-Australia Business Opportunities
From 21 to 28 September, I'll be in Brisbane, Melbourne and Sydney with the AustCham India (Indo-Australian Chamber of Commerce) Business Mission. After that, I'll be in Sydney until the middle of October.
If you're an Australian business exploring India market opportunities, planning expansion into India, or already building something for the Indian market, I'd be happy to connect and discuss the opportunities over coffee.
And yes, I'm also happy to talk cricket especially Gilchrist and Brett Lee.
