India and the Far East: Strategic Insights for Italian Companies at Morri Rossetti & Franzosi

April 16, 2026, Milan. At the offices of Morri Rossetti & Franzosi, an in-depth discussion on opportunities and challenges in India and the Far East brought together entrepreneurs, advisors, and corporate leaders interested in expanding into Asian markets.

During the session, Secretary General Luciano Pettoello Mantovani and Vice President Marco Bettin of the Indian Chamber of Commerce in Italy and President of Club Asia focused on the practical aspects of doing business in India—from navigating regulations and structuring partnerships to localization strategies and long-term market positioning. Particular attention was given to India’s federal structure, state-level incentives, manufacturing ecosystems, and the importance of selecting the right local partner for sustainable growth.

The discussion was enriched by comparative insights into doing business in the Far East, including China, highlighting structural differences in market access, governance models, speed of execution, intellectual property protection frameworks, and geopolitical considerations. For Italian companies, the analysis underscored how India offers a unique combination of demographic scale, growth in domestic consumption, and institutional alignment with Europe, while requiring patience, cultural sensitivity, and strategic persistence.

The event served as a high-level platform for reflection and discussion, providing participants with a clearer strategic framework for evaluating Asia not as a single bloc, but as a collection of distinct markets that require tailored entry and positioning strategies.
