De-risking India Expansion: HR Solutions for Foreign Mid-Sized Companies

Expanding into India offers foreign mid-sized companies vast potential: a thriving consumer base, a highly skilled talent pool, and strong governmental support across key sectors like manufacturing, engineering, and technology. Yet, with this promise comes complexity—particularly in human resource management.

For CXOs and HR leaders of mid-cap firms, entering the Indian market without a tailored HR approach can result in compliance challenges, cultural misalignment, and operational inefficiencies.


Common HR Challenges for Mid-Cap Firms Entering India

Navigating India’s diverse and dynamic landscape often exposes businesses to several key HR pain points:

  • Constantly evolving labor laws at both national and state levels

  • Cultural differences impacting employee engagement and retention

  • Inconsistent hiring standards and onboarding experiences

  • Mismatch between global HR policies and local employee expectations

  • Compliance hurdles in payroll, taxation, and benefits administration

In fact, surveys show that:

  • 40% of companies face regulatory complexities

  • 35% struggle with cultural disconnects

  • 25% encounter language barriers
