Makovsky + Company in Joint Venture with Concept Communication India

At a gathering of prominent India executives and other dignitaries including Mr. Richard Rothman, Chief, U.S. Commercial Service from the U.S. Consulate in Mumbai, Makovsky + Company (www.makovsky.com/) president Ken Makovsky announced the formation of a strategic alliance with Concept Communication Ltd, India's leading independent communications agency.

Makovsky said, "With over US$4 billion of Indian FDI flowing into the United States annually, it is imperative that Indian companies adopt a pro-active approach to developing cohesive communications programs in both countries. This strategic alliance establishes true ground level collaboration between our firms. Our clients interested in entering the Indian market stand to benefit greatly given the access to some of that country's finest communications professionals as a result of the formation of this alliance. We are pleased to partner with Concept Communication."


Vivek Suchanti, CMD, Concept Communication Ltd, added, "Given the increasing growth of business through the Indo-US Corridor, we believe that our clients as well as those of Makovsky + Company will benefit greatly from the establishment of this alliance. Given the firm's intellectual strength and highly creative professionals, we believe that Makovsky + Company will add an important dimension to this strategic alliance. We look forward to a long and successful relationship with Makovsky + Company."

As part of the alliance, Concept plans to establish a dedicated "India Desk" in New York to manage the reputational and communications needs for both Indian multinational companies and US-based companies entering India.


The India Desk in New York is designed to work with:

  1. North American-based Indian companies seeking to reinforce their reputation management programs
  2. 
US companies seeking to enter India
  3. 
Indian companies, listed in the US or contemplating a US listing, seeking investor relations services

  4. Indian governmental programs such as the "Incredible India" campaign aimed at promoting collaboration with US businesses, trade and consumers

  5. Indian financial services providers seeking to tap the HNI of Indian origin in North America, including banks, mutual funds, global money transfer agents, insurance and brokerage firms
