India market entry · Assam & the Northeast

Your gateway to India,navigated.

Wayfindr Global guides international companies through every step of setting up in India — land, permissions, licenses, legal and government representation — with a focus on Assam and the Northeast.

02The journey

Every route starts at the capital.

From New Delhi the map opens up — national policy, central ministries and the approvals that shape how a company enters India.

02Heading east

Then it travels east.

Through the Siliguri Corridor, India opens into the Northeast — eight states bordering Bhutan, Bangladesh, Myanmar, China and Nepal.

02Destination

Arriving in Assam.

The heart of the Northeast, on the Brahmaputra — and home to Kaziranga, sanctuary of the one-horned rhinoceros.

02What we navigate

Six steps between you and launch.

Government, land, permissions, licenses, legal and operations. Wayfindr Global navigates every one — so you don’t have to.

  • Government
  • Land
  • Permissions
  • Licenses
  • Legal
  • Operations

03About Wayfindr Global

About Wayfindr Global

Wayfindr Global is the on-the-ground partner for international companies building in India. We find the land, secure the permissions and licenses, coordinate the legal work and represent you before government — so you can focus on building your business.

03The challenge

India rewards those who know the way.

Central ministries, state departments, district offices, boards and councils — each with its own forms, sequence and timelines. Alone, it’s a maze.

Going it alone

03With Wayfindr Global

05Strategic partnerships

Two corridors. One bridge.

We connect Japanese and European companies with Indian partners, markets and institutions — bridging business cultures as well as borders.

India ⇄ Japan

For Japanese manufacturers and investors building in India — from the first site visit to the final approval.

India ⇄ European Union

For European companies entering India — clear guidance on structure, sites and regulation, in one conversation.

06Land acquisition

The right site, secured.

We identify industrial land across Assam, run title and zoning due diligence, coordinate with the authorities and see the acquisition through.

07Permissions & licenses

Every approval, in order.

Consents, clearances and registrations — we prepare the applications, sequence them correctly and follow each one through every department until it’s granted.

08Legal assistance

Clear terms. Compliant from day one.

Business and legal coordination for your India entry — company setup, contracts, regulatory compliance and due diligence, managed as one workstream.

09Government representation

You don’t have to navigate the system alone.

We represent you before central, state and local authorities — preparing the case, attending the meetings and following through until there’s a decision.

  • Meetings & presentations
  • Follow-ups & escalations
  • Policy & incentive guidance

01Assam

02Northeast India

03South Asia

04Southeast Asia

10Why Assam

Where India meets Asia.

Assam sits at the junction of South and Southeast Asia — a natural base for companies building in India while looking east.

  • 01

    Gateway to the Northeast

    Assam links India’s eight north-eastern states with the rest of the country.

  • 02

    International neighbours

    Assam borders Bhutan and Bangladesh; the wider Northeast borders China, Myanmar and Nepal.

  • 03

    On the Brahmaputra

    The river is National Waterway 2 — an inland water route alongside road, rail and air links.

  • 04

    Act East

    India’s Act East Policy places the Northeast at the centre of its links with Southeast Asia.
