The company is a Japanese manufacturer that develops and supplies a wide variety of products to leading companies in consumer electronics, electric components, semiconductor, automotive and construction markets worldwide. The company approached us with the intent to set up their manufacturing plant in India producing 1) high tech key pads for mobile devices, 2) inter connectors and 3) silicon wafers to supply to electronic, automobile, semi-conductor and packaging industry in India. The company explored various locations and modes of entry and finally zeroed in on Chennai.
Our approach
Once their decision for entry strategy was finalized, we started developing the Business plan and financial model for the India Project along with the Company’s global team. We conducted a pre-study for the Company to assess the telecom market growth in and neighboring countries to arrive at an estimated demand for mobile phones till 2015. We worked very closely with the Japanese team and members of the manufacturing plant at in planning the timelines for the project, providing key information on various approvals required and the sequence of these approvals to get the project off the ground as quickly as possible. We were also very closely involved in preparing the Project Report and financials for the manufacturing plant. During the implementation phase, we secured SEZ unit approval, completed the incorporation and registrations process, secured regulatory approvals to construct the factory, worked very closely with various Government agencies such as Electricity Board, Water Authority, Fire department, Inspectorate of Factories, Chief Electrical Inspectorate etc within the agreed time lines and ensured that the project timelines were met.
Key achievements
As a result of our diligent approach, the company was able to secure all approvals on time. More than anything, the client did not have to spend too much time at the new location worrying if the project would move forward. We believe that our pro-active approach and strict adherence to agreed timelines added significant value in getting another project off the ground.
