Analysys Mason established its presence in India through acquisition of BDA Connect’s India Operations in April 2010. BDA Connect India was founded in 2006 with a focus on providing consulting and investment advisory services to clients across the telecoms, media and technology (TMT) value chain in India.
Based in New Delhi, the Analysys Mason India team consists of 15 professionals with significant experience in strategy consulting in telecoms and technology. The team has been working closely with telecoms operators, original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) and value-added service (VAS) companies on market entry and growth strategy, and has advised public organisations such as the Federation of Indian Chambers of Commerce and Industry (FICCI) and the Confederation of Indian Industry.
Some of the notable work undertaken recently by our India team includes:
- Due diligence relating to an investment of USD300 million in a wireless broadband provider
- Advising a leading technology OEM on regional acquisition opportunities in the m-commerce business
- Developing a business plan for a licence bid application, on behalf of a large international telco
- Developing a three-year business plan and market entry strategy for the Indian VAS business of a large Japanese and European conglomerate
- Developing a mobile store pricing strategy for a large handset OEM in India
- Developing a thought leadership report on 3G and BWA: The Next Frontier, Business Models, Projections and Imperatives, in partnership with FICCI.

The office is supported by a team of consultants and analysts, many of whom have degrees from major universities such as University of Pennsylvania (Wharton), Indian Institute of Management, Indian Institute of Technology, Tohoku University and ESCP-Europe.
