Chennai Tech Centre
Dear AMT Member Company Executive,
Let AMT help you grow your company’s business in India this year, and beyond!
The long-awaited AMT Chennai Tech Centre (CTC) is now functionally operational.
Arun Mahajan, General Manager, will soon begin CTC operations in:
Regus Business Centre
Olympia Tech Park,
Level 2, Altius,
1- SIDCO Industrial Estate
Guindy, Chennai-600032
India
If any questions, please contact Arun at: arunmahajan7371@gmail.com
Tel: (from USA) 011 91 9790887032
What services will CTC offer to my company?
• Year Three - $10,000 (significantly reduced from last year’s projection of $14,000)
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:
• Field Service support anywhere in India - $200/day, plus actual travel costs
• 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
• 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?
• 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
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. • In-depth assistance to help your company find the best Agents and Distributors for
your products in selected industries
Starting is easy---just sign the Participation Agreement (PA) on the back of this flyer
and send it back to us. Then, join us in India to get started! • Outsourcing advice and full support for CTC Participants who may want to source
components from India, or form business alliances with Indian partners
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.
What are the costs for these services?
Please join the new CTC. Let’s get your new 2009 Indian business opportunities
rolling! • 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
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) If questions, please call:
