Client Overview
A leading Japanese manufacturer with over 40 years of expertise in dispensers sought to establish a trading unit in India to supply dispensing and factory automation equipment to Indian distributors. In this regard, they engaged with Nexdigm to develop a business plan with a model outlining the import of equipment from their Japanese parent entity and its distribution across India.
Our Approach
- Developed a comprehensive questionnaire to gain deep insights into the client’s existing business model and proposed Indian operations.
- Conducted extensive primary and secondary research to establish critical business assumptions, including revenue model, margin structure, location strategy, workforce planning, and future expansion potential.
- Designed a dynamic three-year business plan, featuring an executive summary, detailed financial statements (Balance Sheet, P&L, Cash Flow, and Working Capital), with schedules, backward workings, and high-level tax implications.
- Incorporated key financial and operational parameters, such as margin structures for both Japanese and Indian entities, customs duties, one-time setup costs (startup and capex), recurring expenses (operations, workforce, and vendor costs), revenue projections, and equity contribution.
- Executed 20+ stakeholder interactions with recruitment agencies, real estate consultants, external vendors, customs officials, and tax advisors to ensure practical and well-informed business planning.
Impact We Created
- The executive summary, featuring key financial metrics such as Return on Investment, Payback Period, and Break-even Point, along with a fully customizable Excel model, enabled the Group to assess profitability with precision.
