Thanks to this agreement, the consulting group specializing in operations and internationalization—which has been active in India for over twenty years through its subsidiary Octagona—is expanding its service offerings for Italian companies interested in expanding into the Indian market.
Bologna, MARCH 2024
Bonfiglioli Consulting, an Italian management consulting firm specializing in operational efficiency and internationalization, a pioneer of the lean method, and now operating through 12 branches across three continents (the U.S., Europe, and India), has just signed, through its subsidiary Octagona, an agreement with Kampani Capital (a division of Anak Consulting LLP), one of India’s leading financial consulting firms.
The aim of the agreement is to integrate into Bonfiglioli Consulting’s service offering—already firmly established in India thanks to its International Business Unit, of which Octagona is a part—the ability to manage extraordinary transactions within India, such as acquisitions and/or mergers, the search for venture capital, and the pursuit of financial support.
Octagona, which has been present in India for over twenty years and supports Italian companies with interests in international markets—already recognized as a specialized partner by institutions, banks, and associations—will provide valuable support to all Indian investors who are clients of Kampani Capital, helping them enter and develop their investments in Italy.
The agreement strengthens the Bonfiglioli Consulting Group’s presence in a country whose development appears unstoppable and which already ranks ahead of China and Russia, thanks to an annual GDP growth rate that has remained stable at around 7.1% for the past decade (source: IME).
”The Bonfiglioli Consulting team is excited to embark on this journey with Kampani Capital (a division of Anak Consulting LLP),“ comments Alessandro Fichera, Equity Partner and Director of the International Business Unit at Bonfiglioli Consulting, »and we are confident that this collaboration will give rise to significant and successful projects." "Thanks to Kampani’s experience and expertise in providing financial advisory, management acquisition, and M&A services, our group will also be able to support extraordinary transactions in India. We are deeply satisfied and proud of this new partnership, which will enable us to provide valuable support to Italian investors in developing their investments in India—a cornerstone of our mission.'
Amar Kampani, CEO and founder of Kampani Capital, stated: "India and Italy share very ancient and solid economic, cultural, and political ties. This agreement with the Octagona Group will contribute significantly to building stronger financial ties in sectors such as automotive, manufacturing, high tech, transportation, and consumer products." India continues to be a major player in the global economy: the IMF forecasts an annual growth rate exceeding 6.51% for the coming year, and we plan to work closely with Octagona to facilitate both inward investment into India and investments by leading Indian companies and family offices. "We are extremely excited to collaborate closely with Octagona’s prestigious client base and look forward to contributing to Italian companies seeking to expand their business in India."
India is now a central player in the global landscape and balance of power, for geographical, demographic (it is the second most populous country in the world), and geopolitical reasons. In particular, two factors make it an attractive destination for our companies: the Indian government’s push for the manufacturing sector through incentive programs, and the scale of domestic demand, which transforms this country into a massive local market. These factors make it easier to decide to establish production hubs within the country
For these reasons, starting this year, Bonfiglioli Consulting has decided to include India as a new destination in its study tours offered to companies.
“With India and its strong momentum in sectors such as aerospace and hi-tech, we aim to offer a glimpse into the future of innovation and provide the perfect complement to that common thread of Operational Excellence that originates from Japanese Lean, passes through Silicon Valley, and reaches Germany—the respective cradles of global digitalization and European manufacturing,” adds Michele Bonfiglioli, CEO of Bonfiglioli Consulting.
Today in India, there are over 700 success stories of Italian companies operating in the market, of which well over a hundred have been supported by Octagona.
