As India continues to grow, the business relationship between Australia and India has rising potential for both countries. With our common use of English and our love of cricket, we have a lot to talk about and that is a good start.

We assist companies to take the next step. We have helped Indian businesses make impact here, as well as assisting Aussie companies to do business in India. This assistance might be through locating partners and affiliates, provision of a marketing plan, raising profile, competitor analysis or through arranging a series of business meetings.

We work in association with the Indian Merchants Chamber Bombay (Mumbai), the Indo-Australia Chamber of Commerce (Chennai), the Australia New Zealand Business Association of India (Mumbai and Delhi) as well as the giant business organisations, the Confederation of Indian Industries (CII) and the Federation of Indian Chambers of Commerce and Industry (FICCI). Where it can specifically add value, we work closely with Austrade.

Manallacks have organised three successful trade missions to India and teamed up on several others that have produced positive business outcomes, including the most recent “India to the MAX” mission with Max Walker.

We also have a profile and awareness of the Indian media – where online competes with print in a nation that produces approximately 6 daily newspapers like our Australian Financial Review.

Stephen Manallack is a columnist on leadership and communication for www.domain-b.com, India’s biggest business website, and is the Secretary of the Australia India Business Council (Vic).
