What entry actually looks like in practice
Every case study here is a real Foremark engagement — anonymised at client request, published with consent. Sector, country of origin, outcome metrics, timeline, and the specific challenge that brought them to Foremark. No composites. No hypotheticals.
Foremark clients operate in markets where competitive intelligence has material value. All case studies are anonymised to sector, company origin, and size — no client name, no identifying detail. The outcomes and numbers are real. The identities are protected.
A European pharmaceutical manufacturer approached Foremark after their existing advisory team told them their API manufacturing operation would not qualify for the PLI scheme due to revenue thresholds. Foremark's Country Director reviewed the proposed structure and identified a legitimate restructuring of the investment phasing that brought the company within qualifying parameters — without changing the fundamental business plan.
A North American alternative asset manager had provisionally decided on DIFC for their Dubai office, based on conversations with a global law firm. Foremark's Starter Report identified that their specific fund structure — a private credit vehicle targeting Gulf sovereign capital — qualified for ADGM's framework at materially lower regulatory cost and with more favourable licensing conditions for their strategy.
A UK-headquartered enterprise software company had already decided to enter Singapore when they engaged Foremark. Their existing corporate advisors had not identified EDB Pioneer Status as an option — assuming the company was too small to qualify. Foremark's Singapore Country Director negotiated a Pioneer Status approval with EDB, citing the company's ASEAN expansion plans and planned headcount growth to qualify under the Regional HQ criteria.
A US-headquartered enterprise software company needed to establish a Global Capability Centre in India to support their APAC product development function. Their internal estimate for the establishment timeline was 12–18 months. Foremark ran all workstreams simultaneously — ROC registration, STPI registration, banking, employment contracts, and the office setup — completing the full establishment in 74 days.
A German solar and battery storage company was entering India to bid on state renewable procurement contracts. Their challenge was structuring the entity to qualify for both national-level incentives under the PM Surya Ghar scheme and state-level procurement preferences simultaneously — a combination most advisors said was not achievable due to local content requirements. Foremark designed a structure that satisfied both.
Your case study starts with a discovery call
Every engagement above began with a 90-minute discovery call — free, no obligation, specific to the company's sector and corridor. The call that produced the ₹310 crore PLI identification cost nothing.
