INDO-SWISS BUSINESS

India and Switzerland have over six decades of business association. Swiss companies have provided technology and machinery to India in its initial stages of development. Swiss firms such as Nestle and Novartis are as Indian as they are Swiss. Their indigenization is total. Today, the countries are trading as equal partners in progress. Switzerland has emerged as an ideal investment destination for Indian companies keen on making their presence felt in Europe.INDO SWISS BUSINESS magazine is published in association with Swiss Business Hub, a member-business network, Switzerland, under the patronage of the Swiss Consulate, Mumbai. The magazine is distributed in India and Switzerland.
