New Delhi [India], November 27: M+V Altios, a trusted partner for international companies entering and expanding in India, marks a major milestone - 25 years of supporting global businesses in one of the world's most dynamic markets. This journey parallels India's transformation from an emerging economy into a critical hub within global value chains.
From Market Entry to 360° Internationalisation
Founded in 2000 by German entrepreneur Klaus Maier and Francesco Motka, M+V Altios began with a clear mission: make India accessible, operationally manageable, and strategically viable for foreign companies. What started as a market-entry consulting firm has evolved into Internationalisation 360° - a complete model integrating market strategy, operations, HR, compliance, sales acceleration, sourcing, and post-entry growth.
Today, with 250+ experts across 8 Indian cities, M+V Altios supports 1,200+ global companies across sectors including engineering, automotive, energy, healthcare, EV, precision manufacturing, aerospace & defence, and consumer goods.
India's Rise as a Global Strategic Hub
India has rapidly shifted from being a destination market to becoming a core node in global manufacturing, sourcing, and innovation supply chains. With GDP growth of 7.5%+, a 1.4 billion-strong workforce, and an MSME ecosystem contributing 30% of GDP and 45% of exports, India now serves as a vital pillar for global expansion.
M+V Altios has observed this transformation firsthand. European clients, especially SMEs and Mittelstand companies, now look beyond sales opportunities. They are establishing R&D centres, developing supplier clusters, and building India-based subsidiaries that serve the wider APAC region.
The company's integration into the Altios International network in 2021 further expanded its reach, connecting clients to 40+ offices in 25 countries. This seamless global ecosystem supports two-way internationalisation: helping foreign companies succeed in India and enabling Indian companies to expand into Europe, Southeast Asia, North America, and beyond.
A 25-Year Evolution Aligned With India's Growth
As India liberalised, M+V Altios continually expanded its portfolio to serve deeper needs:
- 2000 - Launched first India office for market entry support
- 2006 - Added compliance, HR, and accounting solutions
- 2012 - Introduced logistics and interim management
- 2018 - Built sales performance and efficiency practices
- 2021 - Joined the Altios International Group
- 2024 - Rolled out global sourcing and supplier development
This evolution reflects not only India's shifting economic landscape--from import-driven to innovation-led, but also the company's own cultural growth. What began as a team primarily versed in German business practices is now a truly multicultural, cross-border organisation, bridging European, American, and Asian business cultures. This expertise ensures smoother collaboration between international headquarters and Indian teams, accelerating long-term success.
Creating Platforms for Global Business Leadership
For over a decade, India Day in Germany has served as a flagship platform hosted by M+V Altios, bringing together business leaders, policymakers, and entrepreneurs to explore India's opportunities. The event has become a pillar of Indo-European business collaboration.
This success led to the Sales Networking Meet in India, a unique forum connecting CXOs of foreign subsidiaries with government, financial, and industry stakeholders. What started as a modest gathering in 2010 has grown into a high-impact leadership platform, offering insights into market strategy, cross-cultural management, and local execution challenges.
The 2025 edition held special meaning as it aligned with M+V Altios's 25-year celebration, marking a quarter-century of trusted partnerships and shared progress. The next major events are already planned:
- India Day in Germany - 2026
- Sales Networking Meet - 2027
Both platforms strengthen the bridge between European SMEs and India's dynamic business landscape--helping leaders translate internationalisation into sustainable growth.
