German Desk - English Version
Mazars India German Desk assists German companies throughout their development in the Indian market
At Mazars, we know about the great opportunities and the pitfalls, about business regulations and proper compliance, and about the distinctiveness of India as a location for living and doing business. It can be overwhelming at times for newcomers, with its billion+ population, owing to its diversity in terms of language, religion and cultural norms.
