Change that lands on the ground: retail operations, sales and distribution, omnichannel and supply chain.

India Entry Help

Bringing an international brand to India?

India is a $2.5 trillion consumer market that is changing quickly, with a growing appetite for premium and authentic global brands. Yet many international brands find the journey harder than expected.

The hurdle is usually not demand, but elsewhere:

  • Finding the right local partner
  • Adapting the range to Indian preferences
  • Getting landed pricing right
  • Executing consistently on the ground

We help you get those decisions right before you commit.

About us

A boutique firm built for India's consumer sector.

One Consulting Firm advises consumer businesses on strategy, partnerships and transformation, with a particular focus on taking international brands into India and helping Indian businesses scale.

We are deliberately narrow. Retail, food, fashion and consumer goods are the only sectors we work in, and our partners have spent their careers in them, as consultants and as operators.

Why "One"Asked how we should treat others, Ramana Maharshi answered that there are no others. We work the same way: as one team with our clients, accountable for the outcome rather than the report.

01

The Indian consumer first, not the global playbook.

Plans are built on how Indians actually shop, by city, channel and price point, before a single partner meeting is held.

02

We know who to call.

Working relationships with India's retailers, franchise operators, importers and distributors shorten the path to the right partner.

03

Senior people do the work.

Partners lead every engagement from business case to launch, with the speed and attention of a boutique.
