Launchpad®

In-Country Representation with Market Access

Build High Value Relationships With Risk Managed Systems

The UK-India relationship offers immense opportunities, its multi-stakeholder landscape can be challenging to navigate.

Achieve your chosen objectives with UKIBC’s Launchpad®, which provides a dedicated team of in-country specialists delivering structured market access and expert representation.

Designed as the fastest route to a sustained India presence, Launchpad® enables organisations to focus on growing their business with a forward-looking approach, testing the market, building high-trust relationships and adapting strategy to match both organisational priorities and the dynamic ecosystem of the UK-India relationship.

The model is sector-agnostic and built around expert representation by industry specialists, ensuring budget predictability while reducing Permanent Establishment (PE) risk. Most importantly, it removes the immediate burden and risk of setting up a full office in India, while still acting as a catalyst for trade, investment and collaboration.

As your India engagement matures, you can pivot seamlessly into a more permanent structure, supported by UKIBC’s trusted ecosystem spanning the British High Commission, British Council, Association of Commonwealth Universities, University Grants Commission and wider Central and State Government entities, among other relevant networks.
