Retained strategic advisory for companies building or scaling bilateral India–EU operations — go-to-market strategy, partner identification, and ongoing market intelligence.
Enquire about this vertical today — no upfront charges.
Some business challenges do not fit neatly into a commission-per-deal model. Companies developing India–EU strategy for the first time, preparing for board presentations or investor due diligence, or needing ongoing market intelligence require a different engagement structure. Our consultancy retainer provides access to our combined expertise across trade, digital, marketing, compliance, and bilateral market dynamics — on a monthly advisory basis with defined deliverables.
We charge a monthly advisory retainer of €1,500–5,000 depending on scope and engagement intensity. The retainer is payable monthly in advance with a minimum 3-month commitment. Project-based engagements are quoted on a fixed-fee basis per deliverable. Success commissions from vertical-specific deals originating from the consultancy relationship are charged in addition, at applicable vertical rates.
| Deal Size | Commission Rate | Indicative Earning |
|---|---|---|
| Light-touch retainer (5 hours/month) | — | €1,500/month |
| Standard advisory (10 hours/month) | — | €2,500–3,500/month |
| Intensive engagement (20+ hours/month) | — | €4,000–5,000/month |
All commissions confirmed in writing via NCNDA + Commission Agency Agreement before any introduction. Five-year non-circumvention protection. Payment typically net 10 business days from trigger event.
Subject-matter expertise + global network + documented deal process. The only intermediary model that works across borders.
We develop a structured market entry roadmap for companies entering India from Europe, or Europe from India — covering market sizing, competitive landscape, channel options, regulatory requirements, and phased entry plans.
For companies with a defined product or service and a target market, we develop a practical GTM plan: target customer segmentation, value proposition localisation, pricing strategy, sales channel design, and launch sequencing.
We conduct targeted research to identify potential distributors, agents, suppliers, manufacturing partners, or JV candidates — delivering a qualified longlist with assessments for client review.
We deliver a monthly intelligence brief covering sector-specific developments in our client's target market — regulatory changes, competitive moves, demand signals, and macroeconomic developments relevant to their business.
We help management teams structure and articulate their India–EU strategy for board or investor audiences — drawing on our bilateral market knowledge to make the narrative credible and the numbers defensible.
For defined deliverables — a feasibility study, a supplier landscape report, a channel assessment — we accept fixed-scope project mandates quoted on a deliverable basis.
A comprehensive scope of facilitation activity within this vertical — from first introduction through to repeat order management and multi-year supply agreements.

We actively develop distribution channels via targeted prospecting with product samples, pilot shipments, and trial orders. Every new buyer relationship begins with a qualification call, followed by a documented sample or pilot order to prove commercial viability before any long-term commitment is made. This is the most effective route to sustainable bilateral volume.
Subject-matter intelligence underpinning our advisory and deal origination in this vertical. Updated annually by Vinod Kumar Jain (India-side) and Amit Jain (EU-side).
Every trade mandate carries risk. The following are the most common risks in this vertical — and exactly how Global Nexus structures deals to address each one.
Drawn from Vinod Kumar Jain's 30+ years of India-side manufacturing relationships and Amit Jain's EU-side buyer and regulatory experience. These are the insights that differentiate deals that close from those that don't.
Apply These Insights to Your DealRetainer clients who subsequently originate a mandate through Global Nexus receive their retainer payments credited against the commission due. This creates strong incentive for retainer clients to channel mandates through us — and removes any conflict between advisory and commercial interests.
A consultancy retainer scoped to "India-EU trade advisory" delivers less value than one scoped to "EU buyer identification for 3 specific product categories in the German and Dutch markets." Narrower scope = more actionable intelligence = faster mandate origination.
Retainer clients who receive a structured monthly intelligence report — FTA developments, relevant sector data, new EU buyer profiles — renew at 85%+ rate vs. 40% for retainers without a formal deliverable. Structure creates accountability and perceived value.
