Below is an English translation of an article previously published in French on the subject of lobbying in India. Indeed, as a public affairs consultant based in Paris, I also provide strategic consulting in Dehli and Mumbai.
It’s difficult to get into the Indian market without considering lobbying. And if an initial market study is necessary, as is the case anywhere else, its analysis and modus operandi are radically different. In order to outpace the competition, our large firms must consider tailoring their lobbying activities to the paradoxical specificities and complex networks of the subcontinent.

Below is the English translation of an article previously published in French on the subject of lobbying and globalization. Indeed, as a public affairs consulant based in Paris, I also provide strategic consulting in lobbying.

La plus grande démocratie du monde entame son long processus électoral. 714 millions de personnes pourront voter en Inde du 16 avril au 16 mai. Les résultats seront connus rapidement pour être définitifs et officiels le 28 Mai.
La Commission des élections a enfin annoncé les dates très attendues des élections de l’Union Government (Etat fédéral).

Mais aussi en termes géostratégiques. Le prochain Gouvernement sera à nouveau une coalition mais plus dans le cas d’une simple alternance autour des deux partis dominants. Une troisième et nouvelle coalition semble possible.

Is the IMF’s GDP growth forecast of 5.1 per cent for India in 2009 too grim?
Quick Take
It’s not a secret that like others, the highly indian economy is now facing harder times affected by the deteriorating outlook for some of its main trading partners. By its Stock Exchange sliding all year, by Satyam’s scandal. As it’s global credit running dry. Even Tata Motors, one of India’s biggest companies, has been struggling to keep its hands on equity. India’s economy is slowing and confidence is weak. Previously soaring foreign investment in India is expected to decrease and much more since last blasts.

- What should Satyam and Raju do?
Mumbai/Delhi: The aborted attempt to acquire two companies promoted by Satyam Computer Services Ltd’s chairman’s family have resulted in a significant loss of face for the company. The deal would have benefited chairman Ramalinga Raju’s family at the expense of minority shareholders.

In an attempt to placate analysts, fund managers and shareholders—some are asking the company to pay out its reserves as dividend, and a few have asked for a change in the senior management—Satyam announced that its board is meeting a consider a share buy-back, but the company will have to do a lot more.
Mint spoke to branding, communications, and public relations experts to find out what the company needs to do now.
