Priority Consultants’ Post

India's recent Independence Day celebrations highlighted the country's escalating impact on the global stage. In his speech, Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi identified three key takeaways that resonated with us and our business in helping organisations shape their communications strategies when doing PR in India: 1. 𝐇𝐮𝐛 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐆𝐥𝐨𝐛𝐚𝐥 𝐂𝐨𝐦𝐩𝐚𝐧𝐢𝐞𝐬: India continues to be an attractive market for global companies, across a wide range of industries, including technology and manufacturing, due to its vast talent pool and also huge domestic market. According to EY, global corporations have set up over 1,500 Global Capability Centres (GCCs) and India is home to almost half (45% ) of these. In the same report by EY, more than 50% of the global headcount for technology and operations are based out of India. 𝐁𝐮𝐭 𝐰𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐝𝐨𝐞𝐬 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐬 𝐦𝐞𝐚𝐧 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐦𝐮𝐧𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬? The talent story can be compelling. Showcasing opportunities to embrace or seek local talent, making a commitment to transfer knowledge and through investment, you can obviously use these as a platform to build a strong brand narrative. 2. 𝐓𝐞𝐜𝐡𝐧𝐨𝐥𝐨𝐠𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐥 𝐀𝐝𝐯𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐞𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐬: India has made incredible strides in the technology sector, particularly in digital infrastructure, space exploration, and innovation, establishing itself as a role model for other emerging and even developed nations. These strengths led the Modi government to introduce the phrase "Techade" to define this "digital decade" and India's coming of age in the sector. 𝐁𝐮𝐭 𝐰𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐝𝐨𝐞𝐬 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐬 𝐦𝐞𝐚𝐧 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐦𝐮𝐧𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬? Use the "Techade" story to highlight how your organisation is contributing to local businesses and assisting them to become more tech-savvy or digital-focused. Align your narrative with the national focus on technological advancement. 3. 𝐆𝐥𝐨𝐛𝐚𝐥 𝐏𝐨𝐬𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧: India's growing stature on the global stage continues to rise, with achievements in various sectors, including technology, satellite, and infrastructure as well as is one of the world's largest populations at 1.4 billion. 𝐁𝐮𝐭 𝐰𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐝𝐨𝐞𝐬 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐬 𝐦𝐞𝐚𝐧 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐦𝐮𝐧𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬? Discuss how your organisation benefits the mass audience, not just a targeted segment. For example, if you're an international fintech company, explain how your platform or technology can be used to meet the needs of the underbanked or unbanked population. India is a hugely promising market, but also a complex one. Having the right communications partner is crucial to navigate the local intricacies and align with national priorities. If you are looking for a communications partner to support your brand in India, then our local team will be there to guide you. Nolan Ovinis
