An India desk, a first point of contact for Indian firms to enter the Australian market, has been set up in Australia to boost bilateral commercial links.
The desk will be established in the state of Victoria. This was announced here at an Australia-India Business Council organised trade conference which discussed and examined the economic and business opportunities in India for Australia's companies and entrepreneurs.
Australia's leading companies are members of AIBC and the interest in developing business ties with India has enabled the Council in Victoria to establish this desk, a media report in Melbourne said.
The conference outlined opportunities for Victorian companies in exports and setting up offices in India and highlighted tremendous opportunities to use India as a source of products
and services. It further discussed tapping IT outsourcing and business process outsourcing opportunities from India by Victorian companies apart from being a source of products such as textiles, car components and raw materials.
The AIBC is well placed to help companies interested in such opportunities through its Information and Communications Technology Industry Chapter, according to
The Age newspaper.
India is a significant market for Victorian companies. However, as with most markets, it takes time and patience. Many of the AIBC's members have been active and successful in the Indian market, the report added.
