Find the Right Indian Partner.
Forty percent of India joint ventures fail within three years, almost always due to the wrong partner match. Our network of 2,000+ senior bankers has direct relationships with Indian promoter families and business groups, giving you access to partners that no search firm or consultant can surface.
Why India JVs Fail Without the Right Advisory
Governance Disputes Destroy Value
Nearly 40% of India JVs collapse within three years. The root cause is rarely strategic misalignment - it is governance friction, deadlock clauses that do not work in practice, and mismatched expectations on board control between foreign investors and Indian promoters.
Promoter Families Control Access
India's most capable industrial partners are family-controlled business groups. They do not respond to cold outreach or banker pitchbooks. Partner selection happens through trusted relationships built over decades, not through databases or intermediary platforms.
Regulatory Complexity Shapes Structure
FEMA governs every capital flow into a JV. Sectors like defense, insurance, and telecom carry specific FDI caps and conditions that dictate whether a JV is mandatory, advantageous, or requires government approval. Getting the structure wrong delays market entry by years.
Our Advisory Approach
Strategic Assessment & Sector Mapping
We analyze your market objectives, sector-specific FDI regulations, and competitive landscape to determine whether a JV, strategic alliance, licensing arrangement, or distribution partnership best fits your India entry strategy.
Partner Identification & Screening
Our bankers activate their direct relationships with Indian promoter families and business groups to identify potential partners. We screen for financial strength, governance track record, sectoral capabilities, and cultural compatibility.
Commercial & Governance Structuring
We design the partnership framework covering equity splits, board composition, deadlock resolution, IP protection, exit mechanisms, and FEMA-compliant capital structures. Every term is stress-tested against real-world JV failure patterns in India.
Negotiation & Due Diligence
We lead negotiations with the Indian partner, conduct operational and financial due diligence, and coordinate legal workstreams. Our bankers understand how Indian promoters negotiate and where deals typically stall.
Execution & Post-Partnership Support
We manage regulatory filings, definitive agreements, and closing mechanics. Post-signing, we remain available for governance advisory, dispute resolution guidance, and future restructuring as the partnership evolves.

Governance & Deadlock Resolution
Designing board structures, reserved matter lists, and dispute resolution mechanisms that actually work in the Indian legal and business context, informed by hundreds of JV situations our bankers have managed.
FDI & Regulatory Structuring
Navigating sector-specific FDI caps, FEMA compliance, government approval routes, and RBI reporting requirements so your partnership structure is regulatory-proof from day one.
Access That No Search Firm Can Replicate
India's best JV partners are not looking for foreign collaborators on any platform. They respond to introductions from bankers they have worked with for decades. Our network of 2,000+ senior bankers provides direct access to promoter families and business groups that are simply unreachable through conventional advisory channels.
Structured to Survive, Not Just to Sign
Most JV advisors optimize for deal closure. We optimize for partnership survival. Every governance clause, exit mechanism, and deadlock provision we recommend is informed by real failure patterns our bankers have witnessed across hundreds of India JV situations.
