Market access. Stakeholder engagement. On-the-ground coordination.
Make things actually happen in India.
VMG Access helps international companies, trade bodies, government agencies and delegations identify and engage with the people and organisations that matter in India.
From understanding the landscape and identifying relevant stakeholders to arranging meetings, supporting your visit and following through afterwards, we help turn an interest in India into meaningful engagement.
India is a market. But it is also a network of relationships.
Entering or exploring India can involve navigating government, industry bodies, corporations, institutions, potential partners and different state-level ecosystems.
A market report can tell you where the opportunity may be.
The harder part is often knowing who to speak with, how to reach them, and how to keep the conversation moving.
That is where VMG Access comes in. We provide a focused layer of market access and engagement between strategy and execution.
Our approach
What We Do
-
Understand
We begin with your objectives.
What are you looking to accomplish in India? Which sectors, states, organisations or opportunities matter? What would make your visit or engagement successful?
We use this to develop a focused stakeholder and engagement plan.
-
Connect
We identify relevant stakeholders and facilitate appropriate introductions and meetings.
Depending on the engagement, this may include:
- Government departments and agencies
- Industry and trade bodies
- Corporates and potential business partners
- Research and academic institutions
- Sector specialists and other relevant stakeholders
Every programme is built around the client’s objectives rather than a standard meeting itinerary.
-
Engage
When your team comes to India, VMG Access manages the engagement programme around your visit.
We coordinate meetings, schedules and local arrangements related to the programme, provide context before important discussions and, where appropriate, accompany your delegation to meetings.
You manage your flights and hotel. We take care of the engagement programme.
-
Follow Through
Good meetings are only the beginning.
After the visit, we help maintain communication, coordinate next steps, facilitate additional discussions and keep promising opportunities moving.
Where longer-term support is required, VMG Access can continue as your ongoing India engagement partner.
Clients
Who We Work With
Companies
Exploring market entry, partnerships, investment, sourcing, technology collaboration or expansion.
Trade & Industry Bodies
Planning delegations, member programmes, sector engagement or India initiatives.
Government & Economic Development Agencies
Seeking connections with Indian industry, institutions and relevant stakeholders.
Institutions & Specialist Organisations
Exploring research, technology, sustainability and other cross-border collaborations.
Our experience and networks are particularly strong in agriculture, agribusiness and related sectors, while the VMG Access model can be applied across industries where effective stakeholder engagement is important.
One Country. Many Markets.
India cannot always be approached as a single market.
States have different governments, industries, investment priorities, institutions and business ecosystems.
VMG Access can therefore structure engagements around specific states, sectors or objectives.
A client may begin with Karnataka, Tamil Nadu or another priority state and subsequently extend the programme to additional regions as opportunities develop.
This makes it possible to explore India in a focused and manageable way rather than attempting to cover the entire country at once.
- Karnataka
- Tamil Nadu
- Maharashtra
- Telangana
- Gujarat
- Kerala
- Andhra Pradesh
- Uttar Pradesh
- Punjab
- Haryana
- Rajasthan
- West Bengal
- Odisha
- Madhya Pradesh
Where we fit
From Access to Execution
- Access
- Engagement
- Opportunity
- Execution
VMG Access does not try to replace your lawyers, accountants, strategy consultants or specialist advisers.
We can work alongside them.
A consulting firm may help determine the market-entry structure. A lawyer may handle agreements. A tax adviser may determine the appropriate entity.
VMG Access helps the conversations and relationships around the opportunity move forward.
And when an opportunity moves into implementation, the wider VMG network can provide additional operational support where appropriate.
Why VMG?
VMG has been building businesses, publishing specialist media and working with organisations in India and overseas for more than two decades.
Our background gives us an unusual combination of business experience, sector knowledge, media and publishing relationships, and the ability to engage comfortably across corporate, institutional and public-sector environments.
VMG Access brings those capabilities together into a focused service for organisations that need someone experienced on the ground in India.
We are deliberately hands-on.
Our objective is not to produce another report.
It is to help make things happen.
