Joseph Devasia, Managing Partner of Antal International Network added his thoughts on running a recruitment business in India:

How long have you been in the market?

I have been operating in the Indian market since Jan 2007 – four and a half years.

What obstacles did you face in the transition to working there?

When I returned to work in India, I had no existing relations or networks to draw support from, neither did I have any idea of how people in India behave in the business world. One thing that quickly became evident was time keeping, often a meeting would be arranged for a particular time, but was often not stuck to!
