India Expansion
Planning your India expansion: a practical first-90-days guide
Sattva Editorial · 15 September 2026 · 1 min read
Expanding into India is less about a single big decision and more about getting a sequence of smaller ones right.
Start with the operating model. Decide whether you need a legal entity on day one or whether a managed or contract model lets you start faster with less risk.
Next, define your first hires. A strong local lead with clear authority will shape everything that follows, from culture to vendor relationships.
Finally, set up reporting early. Weekly visibility into hiring, spend and delivery keeps remote operations accountable from the start.
