Strategic Ventures · Technology Partnerships

Technology and manufacturing partnerships that grow with India

We originate, close and orchestrate the partnership, so both sides share the upside.

What it takes to build

Why most partnerships stall

The starting point

Intent is plentiful

Indian manufacturers want technology and know-how. Companies in Japan, Taiwan and Mainland China want India.

The first wall

Hard to find

The right partner, with the right technology, intent and fit, is slow and opaque to find.

The second wall

Then it stalls

After the MoU, teams that have never worked together misalign, and commitments slip.

Technology moves in steps

Built in stages, so both sides stay comfortable

Good partnerships take time, and each side starts with different expectations. We build them in stages: each step earns trust and unlocks the next.

How we build it

  1. 1We originateThe right match, for both sides.
  2. 2We closeTerms both sides can live with.
  3. 3We orchestrateUntil production runs in India.

A signed agreement is not a manufacturing line.

What each side needs

Partners

  • Protect their technology, and earn as it moves

For partners in Japan, Taiwan and Mainland China

A long-term position in India, on terms that protect you

Partners considering India often have the same concerns. We design every partnership around them.

Your concernHow we address it
“Will we lose control of our technology?”Staged access, written terms

Technology moves in stages; your core IP stays with you, and licence terms are set out in writing.

“Are we creating a future competitor?”Clear limits, shared upside

Clear limits on use and territory, and you share in the upside through royalties or equity.

“How long until it pays?”Income from the first step

You earn from the first step, and income grows as your Indian partner scales.

“Can we trust the Indian partner?”Qualified partners, our team on the ground

Partners are qualified before you meet them, and our team stays on the ground throughout.
