Challenges in India cleantech market
• International SMEs consider India as 'just another' market and not as place where technology and business models need to “evolve”
• EU SMEs – challenge with committed man-hours for India, access to finance and focus
• EU technology designs – not directly suitable for emerging markets/India: incompatibility of technology, costs and business models
• EU apprehensions on IP and legal frameworks in India; Indian apprehensions on new technology
• Understanding the Indian “fabric” – business, social, cultural
