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
