About T&A Consulting

Born in India in 2006, T&A has become a trusted global consulting practice to government economic development agencies, businesses, and academic institutions across Europe, Africa, Asia and the Americas. Using its accumulated knowledge across several key sectors to help clients with accessing opportunities for trade, investment and student growth from India has been at the very core of T&A’s organic growth and client success over the last 15 years.

Our team of over 50 full-time professionals, primarily based located in our Global HQ in Gurugram near New Delhi, which is also the lead team for Asia, the Middle East, and Africa, is now complemented by new offices in Canada, covering the Americas, and representatives in Belfast, Northern Ireland, and in Berlin, Germany, for customers focused on the UK and European markets.

While T&A was formed and has grown around the challenges of doing business in India, one of the world’s most complex markets for international businesses, our EDO clients have valued our professionalism, perseverance, and adaptability and today we now represent some of them in Europe and North America.

Along our journey so far, we have competed against some of the world’s leading consulting and economic development brands and other boutique consulting practices to win the trust of new clients to develop and offer them ongoing support for their market entry strategy. We have fostered an extensive network of trusted industry connections and cooperative relationships and gained deep insights within various sectors and leveraged our network and knowledge to assist our clients in identifying, screening, and evaluating potential clients/partners/investment targets.
