We’ve expanded our global presence to India to help companies worldwide secure customers and partners in this rapidly-developing market, and to enable Indian businesses to grow overseas.
We’ve also made two senior appointments to lead our India business: Adrian Mutton joins us as Chair of Intralink India, and Jai Mallick as our India MD.
Now operating from New Delhi and Mumbai, this is the latest step in our ambitious plans to enable even more companies around the world to expand in international markets. And it comes hot on the heels of our acquisition of Orissa International earlier this month with its six offices across Southeast Asia.
The move builds on our existing track record in India as, over recent years, we’ve helped Indian companies including Sagacious IP, Valtrix Systems, e-con Systems and InCore Semiconductors to develop their international sales. We’ve also enabled US, European and East Asian companies including Sonatus, PMP Conseil, Fujitsu and Nitto Denko to grow their businesses in India.
India is high priority for us – and for our clients – because it’s one of the most significant markets globally.
Not only does its population exceed that of China; it’s the world’s fastest-developing major economy, with growth of 6.5% forecast this year.
The country has a burgeoning middle class with money to spend, a growing number of world-beating companies, and is globally renowned in pharmaceuticals, IT, business outsourcing, automotive, FMCG, agriculture and financial services.
It’s on a robust economic trajectory underpinned by rapid urbanisation, a vibrant technology and innovation ecosystem and a stable, pro-growth government.
At the same time, it’s a tough market for companies to break into – with success, in many cases, necessitating a carefully planned strategy, a partnership approach and an experienced team on the ground.
As Chair of Intralink India, Adrian Mutton brings more than three decades’ experience of India’s commercial landscape to help drive our ambitions in the market. He has supported hundreds of European and North American clients with their Indian expansion and helped economic development agencies to grow their exports to the country and attract Indian investors.
In 2008, he founded Sannam S4 in New Delhi, an international business development company which has grown to employ more than 350 people. After selling the corporate market entry part of the business to TMF in 2024, he continues to lead Acumen, Sannam S4’s education focused business.
Adrian said: “I’m excited to lead Intralink’s expansion in India. With its exceptional global network and relentless focus on creating revenue opportunities for its clients, the company is perfectly positioned to become the trusted partner for Indian companies looking to grow internationally - and for global businesses eager to be part of India’s dynamic future.”
As country MD, Jai Mallick will steer our India strategy, business development and the delivery of client projects.
He brings an impressive track record of analysing market opportunities, developing growth and investment strategies and achieving international expansion. He most recently led strategy and business development initiatives across EMEA and APAC for clean energy investment firm Foresight Group, having worked in the Corporate & Investment Banking team at Barclays International before that.
Jai said: “I’m thrilled to be leading Intralink’s expansion into India at a time when the country is rapidly emerging as a global hub for innovation and growth. With a vibrant technology landscape, thriving manufacturing base, world-class talent and growing global influence, India offers immense opportunities for international collaboration.
“Intralink is uniquely positioned to support Indian companies with global expansion, help corporates tap into India’s innovation ecosystem, and enable governments to build trade and investment partnerships. I’m excited to work with the incredible Intralink team to deliver meaningful results for our clients.”
Our New Delhi and Mumbai presence adds to our existing 25 locations – including Shanghai, Beijing, Tokyo, Seoul, Taipei, Singapore, Bangkok, London, Paris, Silicon Valley, Boston and Toronto.
We look forward to supporting our clients in India, and to being part of the fascinating Indian growth story for decades to come!
