The investment and business relationship between India and Japan is finally moving in top gear. As Japan witnesses the long awaited sustained growth phase, its corporate think tank, in its renewed enthusiasm for successful global business pursuits, recognises the potential of India as amongst the most preferred investment destinations. Planning departments at various Japanese head quartered companies are busy planning and implementing this India potential into action steps, paving way for a most dynamic investment environment.

As India occupies this prominence in Japanese media and business community, there is enormous amount of information and data available for perusal of companies planning an entry into India or expanding/diversifying their existing presence.

However, presence of high quantum of information may make identification of 'right' information difficult. An investor for his specific questions, requires on a real time basis, tailor made answers, which is based on right interpretation of law blended with 'experience' of actual implementation.

Further, each investment experience adds to this crucially required but not easily available, repository of precise advice, practical insights and an actual way forward to convert idea/plan into decision and subsequently into action.

Recognising the need and the gap in 'value and requisite advice' we have a specialised group, the Japanese Business Group (JBG) to advise our Japanese clients. By way of its current client profile and an experience of the core team cumulatively exceeding 40 years, JBG is a leading professional service Firm to Japanese businesses in India.

The core members of JBG include a native Japanese speaking Advisor and former heads of Japanese practice group in big four Firms such as Arthur Andersen, Ernst & Young who have been deeply and passionately involved with a range of Japanese clients in the past 15 years. They have an accumulated valuable acumen to compliment the role of a 'trusted advisor' who can work with the project team of the client.
