Brand Representation Services for India Market Entry

FGMS provides comprehensive Brand Representation services for international brands and domestic manufacturers seeking professional, end-to-end regulatory and commercial representation in India. As India's regulatory framework becomes increasingly complex — with QCOs, mandatory certifications, digital compliance platforms, and multi-agency approvals now spanning most product categories — having a knowledgeable, accountable India-based representative is a business necessity, not a luxury.

We serve as your Authorised Indian Representative (AIR) with BIS, TEC, WPC, FSSAI, CDSCO, PESO, and other regulatory authorities — managing all regulatory certifications on your behalf while simultaneously providing commercial market entry intelligence and initial trade channel support. One partner. Complete India coverage.

Our Process

1
Market Entry Assessment
We assess the Indian regulatory landscape for your products, identify all applicable certifications (BIS, FSSAI, WPC, TEC, etc.), and develop a market entry compliance roadmap.
2
Authorised Indian Representative (AIR)
FGMS acts as your official AIR with BIS, TEC, WPC, FSSAI and other regulators — signing and filing all applications, accepting regulatory notices, and being the legally accountable point of contact in India.
3
Certification Procurement
We manage all regulatory approvals on your behalf: BIS ISI/CRS/FMCS, CDSCO, FSSAI, WPC, TEC/MTCTE, PESO, TAC, and any other approvals needed for your product lines.
4
Commercial Support
Beyond regulatory, we support your market entry with distributor identification, channel partner introductions, trade show representation, and initial business development contacts in India.
5
Legal & Compliance Advisory
We provide legal structure advice for India operations — from importing under parent company name vs. setting up India subsidiary/LLP, to compliance with FEMA, import policy, and sector-specific FDI regulations.
6
Ongoing India Liaison
Continuous India-based liaison for all regulatory renewals, label updates, new product additions, and any regulatory correspondence or inspection management.

Frequently Asked Questions

For foreign manufacturers wishing to obtain BIS certification (ISI Mark, CRS, FMCS, Scheme X) for products sold in India, BIS requires the designation of an Authorized Indian Representative (AIR) — an Indian entity legally authorized by the foreign manufacturer to act on its behalf before BIS. The AIR signs the application, accepts regulatory notices, takes legal responsibility for BIS compliance, and coordinates factory inspections and surveillance. FGMS acts as AIR for numerous foreign brands across all BIS certification programmes.

Several Indian regulatory authorities require a local representative for foreign entities: BIS (AIR for all BIS certifications), TEC/MTCTE (local authorised agent), WPC (agent/importer), CDSCO (Indian Agent or Indian Sponsor for medical device registration), PESO (local agent), FSSAI (importer of record). FGMS can serve as regulatory representative simultaneously across multiple Indian agencies, providing cost-effective consolidated representation.

FGMS Brand Representation service covers: (1) Acting as AIR/regulatory representative with all applicable Indian agencies, (2) Managing all certification applications, renewals, and surveillance, (3) Handling customs-related compliance (import advisory, HS code, technical clearances), (4) Providing product labelling consultancy (BIS, FSSAI, Legal Metrology labels), (5) Initial commercial introductions to distributors and potential channel partners, (6) India market regulatory intelligence and monitoring.

Yes. FGMS manages multi-product, multi-category representation for global brands in India. A single AIR agreement covers all applicable product lines, and FGMS manages different certification pathways (BIS, FSSAI, WPC, TEC) for different product categories under one consolidated account. This significantly reduces cost and complexity for multi-category brands entering India.
