Despite the economic and euro crisis, India presents itself as robust and, above all, self-confident. Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh made it clear at the last G20 summit: “Demand on the domestic market remains strong. If there is anything we have to be afraid of, it is growing protectionism in the US and Europe.” The “spirit of optimism” in the Indian domestic market also continues; The current generation of 20 to 40-year-old Indians has an enormous will and determination to approach Western levels in terms of wealth and consumption.


This means that the business prospects for Swiss companies that are active in India or want to do trade with India continue to improve. Switzerland's foreign trade with India has increased more than threefold in recent years, with the areas of "mechanical engineering", "pharmaceuticals" and "precision instruments" in particular experiencing the greatest growth and alone accounting for around 60% of goods traffic between the two countries Switzerland and India.


Carmen Heinrich, the new representative in SwitzerlandSwitzerland generally has a very good image in India, not least due to the country's popularity as a tourist destination. In addition to the export hit “tourism”, Swiss companies also enjoy a high reputation with their products and services in terms of the success factors “quality”, “precision” and “reliability”. Swiss products are even considered a “status symbol” in many industries. As a result, the number of Swiss companies that not only export to India, but have even ventured into India in the form of their own local company or a Swiss-Indian joint venture, has increased from just a few handfuls to several hundred in the last 10 years increased impressively.


“The potential in the subcontinent is great, but so are the challenges. We are therefore convinced that market access to India must be carefully prepared. And so it will also be necessary for Swiss companies to take a well-founded look at the general conditions, opportunities and, above all, the risks, difficulties and uncertainties there before becoming involved in India,” says Managing Director Mike D. Batra. “That’s why we now offer a local presence in Switzerland. We simply want to be where our clients are. In this way, we offer our Swiss customers the same high quality of advice as we do in Germany, for example,” says co-managing director Dr. Johannes Wamser continues.

In the future, Ms. Carmen Heinrich will represent Dr. in her role as “Senior Consultant”. Wamser + Batra GmbH in Switzerland.
