What services will CTC offer to my company?
CTC will offer many of the same services as AMT’s Shanghai Tech Center (STC) and the Mexico Center at ITESM. We will initially start with these support services:
- Full Sales & Marketing counseling and direct Indian customer contact help as required (includes advice on how to handle Indian governmental projects)
- Human Resource (HR) services, including searches for qualified Indian engineering, sales, or service personnel to join your company by proxy-hire
- Counseling on appropriate salary ranges for different kinds of employees in Chennai, and general “costs of services” advice about India generally
- Office availability for such employees, so that you can have the great benefit of a de facto full-time Indian employee before registering your company in India
- A convenient office space in Chennai for you to use when you travel to India, and logistical support for your company’s activities all over the country
- Field Service support for your equipment all over India at the rate of $200/day plus travel costs---a marketing must and a huge cost saver for you
- In-depth assistance to help your company find the best Agents and Distributors for your products in selected industries
- Outsourcing advice and full support for CTC Participants who may want to source components from India, or form business alliances with Indian partners
AMT’s #1 goal is ALWAYS to help your company SUCCEED in India. Therefore, the costs for CTC are kept as low as possible, and surely below what any of this would cost if you did it yourself, or with a “for-profit” partner. Basically, the cost model for CTC is very similar to STC:
- Year One - $0 (100% participation fee discount)
- Year Two - $5,000 (50% participation fee discount)
- Year Three - $10,000 (significantly reduced from last year’s projection of $14,000)
- Field Service support anywhere in India - $200/day, plus actual travel costs
- HR Search for CTC proxy-hire employees - $1,000 to receive up to five qualified candidates (you will interview them, and make the final decision on all matters). Proxy-Hires are nominally CTC employees, for administrative purposes, but in reality they work full time for your company and take their direction from you.
- Office “Cabin” for your employee - $4,000 (Good office space is quite expensive in India, but this includes complete office support services.)
Why should I join CTC now?
During these difficult times at home, there is a definite opportunity to expand into growing new market areas. The Indian government is doing its own version of a “stimulus package,” aimed at keeping major infrastructure projects, and their supporting industries, on the path of capacity expansion. Also, India is a country where you can meet everywhere without translators, since English is the language of business.
Starting is easy---just sign the Participation Agreement (PA) on the back of the flyer and send it back to us. Then, join us in India to get started!
Between now and March 31, all members who sign the PA will be designated “Charter Members of CTC,” and will benefit from having their Year One term begin on June 1 (equals up to six more “free” months). After March 31, 2009, the normal 12-month year will return for all.
