Beyond the Headlines: India as a Market Opportunity

India is one of the world’s most compelling growth markets, but the opportunity is often reduced to headlines of economic growth, digital adoption and a rising consumer class. This webinar goes beyond the broad narrative to explore what businesses need to understand before entering the market: where Australian organisations commonly miss or misread the opportunity, and a readiness check to see if it right for your venture.

In this practical webinar, Jasmine Batra will draw on her experience supporting businesses across the Australia–India superhighway to unpack the opportunities, complexities and common market-entry missteps.

You will learn:

• Where Australian businesses commonly misread demand and commercial intent
• How to identify the right customer, geography and entry point
• A simple three-step framework to test, validate and enter
• How to assess whether your organisation is genuinely India-ready
