Capitalize on the India Growth Story for Market Entry
A conversation with Nilesh Gopali, Founder and CEO, AAVOR.

Not considering expanding a business to India means ignoring one of the most promising (if not the most!) new markets of the decade to come. India's economy is one of the fastest expanding in the world, with a rapidly expanding consumer class. It is a gold mine of business opportunities, in a very wide range of sectors.

Economy forecasts paint India as the fifth largest consumer market in 2025. Nowadays the Indian middle class counts 300 million people, comparable in size to the entire European Union's market. If the economy will follow the trends pre-crisis, the numbers are going to increase.

Entering any market comes with its challenges and nuances. India's market-entry is no different. Join us for an exciting and informative conversation with India market-entry guru Nilesh Gopali of AAVOR where we'll talk about the opportunities and challenges of entering the India market. We’ll reveal the best practices for India market-entry.

What You Don't Know Can Kill Your Business: Nailing Market Research for U.S. Market Entry

A conversation with Michael Vigeant, CEO, Greatblue Research.

Entering any new market comes with a variety of opportunities and challenges for growth companies. The U.S. market can be exceptionally attractive and overwhelming all at the same time. The number of marketing opportunities and channels in the U.S. is far more than any other country.

All too often, companies entering the U.S. waste all of their precious time and capital on low yield options. These companies do not generate the necessary traction and ultimately make an unceremonious market exit. To gain fast traction and reliable growth in the U.S., entering companies need exceptional credible data, strategy, and execution.

READY, FIRE, AIM...Doh!!! You'd never get in your car without a clear understanding of where you're going, what path you'll take, and what risks or hazards will potentially impede your progress. So then, why do you enter new markets without a clear sense of the landscape?

Join us for an exciting conversation with market research guru, Michael Vigeant from GreatBlue Research about the best practices of market entry data assimilation and analysis.

Dates: Tuesday, June 25, 2019, Noon - 1:00 PM
