TEPA.swiss®.
Market Entry & Operations
We don't just advise — we execute alongside you
We stay with you through execution: partner vetting, legal setup, operational infrastructure, go-to-market activation, and ongoing support.
India rewards execution, not strategy.
You can have the best product, the right tariff advantage, and perfect regulatory approvals — but still fail if you can't execute operationally.
Most Swiss companies struggle with:
- Finding trustworthy partners (distributors, agents, service providers)
- Setting up compliant operations (legal entity, banking, warehouse)
- Navigating cultural and business practice differences
- Managing cash flow, inventory, and working capital
- Scaling beyond pilot phase
TEPA.swiss® bridges the execution gap.
We provide hands-on operational support - not just advice.
