Why India
The world's fastest-growing major economy.
A young population, rising incomes, digital payments at massive scale and a government pushing manufacturing and trade. For brands, there is no larger growth market opening up this decade.
Growth, 2026
Real GDP growth projections
India is projected to grow 7.4% in calendar 2026 and 7.0% in 2027, roughly double the global rate.
The opportunity
Six reasons brands are moving now
~17%
Share of world growth
The IMF expects India to deliver up to about 17% of global real GDP growth in 2026, more than any country except the United States.
1.4bn+
Largest population
India has been the world's most populous country since 2023, with one of the youngest workforces of any major economy.
UPI
Digital-first buyers
Instant mobile payments are used everywhere from malls to street stalls, making online and D2C selling practical nationwide.
Tier 2+
Demand beyond metros
Smaller cities are where much of the new consumer spending is coming from, and they are still under-served by global brands.
PLI
Manufacturing incentives
Production-linked incentive schemes and Make in India support companies that build locally.
FTAs
Opening trade links
India's newer trade agreements are lowering barriers between India and partner markets in both directions.
Both directions
Sell to India. Buy from India.
The story behind our India growth story

$1bn+businesses scaled, multiple times
2directions: India and abroad

Chapter 3

Leading companies through hypergrowth, building teams, systems and partnerships that hold up at scale.
Today
Founding Expandoora
Putting that playbook to work for brands entering India and for buyers sourcing from India.
A letter from our founder
Why I started Expandoora
For twenty years I have watched great brands treat India as too complex, too slow or too far away. The ones that came in with the right partners grew faster here than anywhere else.
I have built businesses in India and abroad, and I have scaled them past a billion dollars more than once. Every time, the difference came from the same things: knowing the right people, getting compliance right the first time, and moving quickly once the market responds.
Expandoora gives your brand that experience from day one. I am personally involved in every expansion plan we write, and my team reports to you every month on exactly where your India business stands.
What this means for your brand
Experience you can build on
A proven scaling playbook
