Background - With the changing global dynamics, two countries India and Japan have found a commonplace for future synergies in Infrastructure, Academics, Manufacturing, services etc. However, despite all the new found euphoria, there is a serious cultural gap between the two. While the Japanese culture lays emphasis on pre-planning to the minutest detail by meticulous forward risk planning, India on the other hand is a learn-as-you-go mindset, with 'Jugaad' being the essence of our works ethos. These stark differences can only be absorbed and smoothened by the right knowledge of each others' foundations - education.
With this as precursor, A2V Infosolutions Pvt Ltd (flagship brand - Guruvantage) partnered with the first ever Indo-Japan Global Partnership Summit 2011 at Tokyo, Japan as Academic Partners. Guruvantage, achieved a never-before accomplished feat of congregating a delegation of nearly 200 delegates from the Indian Academic Diaspora to be a part of the IJGPS.

the second fastest growing economy in the world. She offers many areas of opportunity to foreign companies including: consumer goods, infrastructure, manufacturing, defense, biotechnology, financial services, insurance, transportation, urban development, call centers, and of course knowledge-based services.
However, while entering the Indian market it is imperative to understand the cultural mindset of the people here. India's way of doing business is unique in its own way and is very different from that of Japan's. Unlike in Japan, fixing up appointments and decision making can be astonishingly fast and informal here. Indian's are far more relaxed and open. Lack of cultural awareness preparation has many levels of impact though, ranging from an embarrassing moment to a breakdown in inter-company communication to a lost deal or accord. Inadequate cultural awareness is bound to give rise to barriers .It may also lead to failure at an earlier or later stage.
Japanese Companies have been rather slow in expanding in India. While difficulty in expanding operations & cultural differences are the same for any foreign investor, Japanese companies have been lagging behind. This is happening not because Japanese are not competent as far as technology or expertise is concerned, but purely because of the lack of understanding of the local, cultural & market necessities here. A2V helps bridge the Gap for Japanese Companies to expand operations in India.
