Dezan Shira & Associates’ India Team Delivers “Doing Business in India” Session for NZTE Delegation

Industries

Dezan Shira & Associates’ India team recently delivered a focused “Doing Business in India” session for a delegation organized by New Zealand Trade and Enterprise (NZTE), aimed at supporting New Zealand businesses evaluating market entry and expansion opportunities in India.

The session was led by Ankur Munjal, India Country Director, and Naina Bhardwaj, Associate Director, International Business Advisory. It provided a structured and practical overview of India’s business environment, with a focus on key strategic considerations such as entity structuring, foreign direct investment (FDI) regulations, tax optimization, and supply chain design.

Designed as an interactive engagement, the session encouraged active participation from delegates, with tailored discussions addressing sector-specific challenges, regulatory nuances, and operational considerations. Participants explored how evolving policy frameworks, compliance requirements, and state-level variations impact business planning and execution in India. Real-world scenarios and case-led insights helped translate regulatory complexity into actionable strategies for market entry.

A key highlight of the discussion was navigating the opportunities arising from the India–New Zealand Free Trade Agreement (FTA). The session examined how businesses can align with tariff structures, rules of origin, and non-tariff measures under the agreement to optimize cross-border trade and investment flows. Emphasis was placed on leveraging the FTA framework to enhance cost competitiveness, streamline supply chains, and mitigate compliance risks.

The engagement reflects Dezan Shira & Associates’ continued commitment to supporting international businesses across the India–New Zealand corridor. With deep regional expertise and on-ground advisory capabilities, the firm remains well-positioned to assist companies with market entry, operational setup, and ongoing compliance in India.

Dezan Shira & Associates extends its appreciation to the New Zealand Trade & Enterprise (NZTE) team for facilitating this engagement and looks forward to further collaborations in enabling seamless cross-border investment and trade.
