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

April 16th, 2026 Milan. At the premises of Morri Rossetti & Franzosi, an in-depth discussion on opportunities and challenges across 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 nuances of doing business in India — from regulatory navigation and partnership structuring 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 conversation was enriched by comparative insights on operating in the Far East, including China, highlighting structural differences in market access, governance models, speed of execution, IP protection frameworks, and geopolitical considerations. For Italian companies, the analysis underscored how India offers a unique combination of demographic scale, domestic consumption growth, and institutional alignment with Europe, while requiring patience, cultural sensitivity, and strategic persistence.

The event provided a high-level platform for reflection and exchange, equipping participants with a clearer strategic lens to evaluate Asia not as a single bloc, but as a set of distinct markets requiring tailored entry and positioning strategies.
