Vast talent pool
A young, well-educated workforce
Fact
India produced over 833,000 engineering graduates in 2023–2024, including around 113,000 mechanical engineers—more than 2,000 a week. In addition, approximately 1.3 million Indian students study abroad, gaining international knowledge and experience.
Hybrid advantage
Scalable capacity with quality

EasyWay2India connects Dutch experience and expertise with Indian talent and execution strength. This creates scalable capacity while maintaining quality, at an affordable price and – depending on the work – up to 60% lower costs.
Why India … and why now?
From technical service provider to industrial technology powerhouse
Many companies mainly know India as a provider of IT services and technical support. We often use Indian expertise more extensively than we realise. Its combination of knowledge, commitment, scale and availability has made India an essential part of the international service economy.
But India is developing much further. The country is becoming a strategic power that not only supports critical technologies, but also develops and manufactures them. Semiconductors, AI, robotics, advanced manufacturing, energy systems, defence and aerospace are converging in one industrial strategy.
Dholera: where the transformation begins
India’s first commercial 300 mm semiconductor fab is being developed in Dholera, Gujarat. With planned investment of approximately €9.5 billion and involvement from international technology leaders, including ASML, this project represents far more than one factory. It may form the foundation of India’s next world-class high-tech ecosystem.
Successful semiconductor clusters attract suppliers, engineering companies, machinery and equipment builders, software developers, research institutes, logistics providers, investors and highly skilled talent.
For Dutch SMEs, the opportunities extend far beyond the semiconductor industry.
India is no longer merely an export market. It can simultaneously be a sales market, engineering partner, sourcing destination, production base and innovation partner—and ultimately a platform for sustainable long-term growth.
The question is no longer whether India will become a leading industrial technology power. That transformation has already begun.

EASYWAY2INDIA
You cannot eliminate every risk.
But you can make risks manageable.
Doing business in India offers major opportunities, but it also involves risks. Can we remove every risk? No. We can reduce them considerably by supporting you from the first step with reliable knowledge, experienced professionals and a local presence. That is exactly why EasyWay2India was developed.
In an unfamiliar country, different rules apply. Differences in communication, interpretation, culture, legislation and business practices can easily lead to misunderstandings. EasyWay2India connects Dutch direction with knowledge and execution strength in India, enabling decisions based on clear information and reliable contacts.
Through one online gateway, you take controlled first steps towards a hybrid or physical organisation in the Netherlands and India. Almost all services you need along the way are available remotely. You can start small, gain experience and scale up only after the opportunity and cooperation have proven themselves in practice.
Our solution
A different, efficient and affordable way of doing business
How can your company become part of India’s industrial future? Where do you begin, whom can you trust and how do you avoid building an expensive organisation before knowing whether the opportunity is real?
EASYWAY2INDIA works like a smartphone
In the past, you needed separate devices for calling, photography, navigation and music. The smartphone brought everything together on one platform and expanded by adding new apps.
EasyWay2India works in the same way. Instead of apps, you activate only the business services you need. Some companies choose Engineering alone; others gradually build a complete Virtual Subsidiary.
No unnecessary overhead. No fragmented supplier network. One trusted platform. One point of contact. Real professionals in the Netherlands and India.
