Who We Are

An international technology sourcing firm, built on four decades of practice

SureTech International was established in 2002 by Mr. R. K. Chanana, a Chartered Accountant with over 25 years of experience in professional practice, completely devoted to advising his clients on setting up new industrial projects in India. His professional career focused on bringing to India globally emerging technologies intrinsic to the country's future needs for growth.

Alongside advice on globally available competitive technologies across a very wide spectrum of industrial sectors — and the evaluation criteria for selecting the technologies and machineries best suited to Indian conditions — he was, as a finance professional at core, deeply involved in the financial planning, layout and syndication of finances for his clients' projects. His evolvement of a large number of unique financing patterns for project financing won him accolades from co-professionals and industry leaders alike.

“Liberalization with localization” would be the mantra that would pole vault India into achieving the status of a developed nation.

By the turn of the century, that conviction — coupled with India's strategic need to globally source, import and localize critical technologies, and the parallel need of western technology owners to reach new markets — made the timing right to float a new international technology sourcing firm.

Our Mandate

To have a global technology reach and to source the most outstanding, field-proven, high market potential technologies available internationally, in sectors offering strong and stable long-term growth both within India and globally.

  • Technologies must qualify our prime selection criterion — the possibility of manufacturing dual use products, both civil and defence.
  • Focus on India's sunrise sectors: defence manufacturing, homeland security and disaster management.
  • Foundations strong enough to hold under varying political and business conditions, yielding robust and continued returns to stakeholders.
  • Where product lines allow, we also introduce the technology and market the products in India.

What We Offer

Services for international technology owners entering India

The changing global security paradigm demands new systems, new technologies and new partnerships for cooperation and risk-mitigation. We help international firms navigate that environment — from first representation to offset discharge and statutory compliance.

01

International Representations

We represent international firms planning to export their technologies and products to India — ideally those able to offer localisation, productionisation, timely obsolescence management and full life-cycle support. For such clients we arrange technology licensing and manufacturing tie-ups with the best suited Indian partners, from both the private and public sectors.

02

Technology Introduction & Product Marketing

For technologies offering dual civil and military use, we introduce the technology and market the products to government technology and product development labs such as DRDO, R&D centres and institutional customers. These engagements give clients valuable, fast-moving indicators to guide their commitment in India — at a very economical cost.

03

Advice on Offsets

The Defence Procurement Procedure laid down by the Indian MoD is a complex document requiring in-depth knowledge of its ramifications. For “Buy Global” category products where offsets would normally apply, forethought and planning can in certain cases avoid their applicability altogether. We advise on applicability, banking and discharge of offset obligations.

04

Discharge of Offset Obligations

Correct and timely advice here yields rich dividends: sourcing companies with aptly suited products and services to meet export obligations, identifying Indian companies offering high-yield JV investment opportunities, co-development of new products, and planning time-bound fulfilment programmes within the main contract period.

05

DOFA Liaison & Offset Reporting

Companies covered by offset obligations need regular interaction with the Defence Offsets Facilitation Agency (DOFA), which vets offset proposals technically, monitors offset provisions and advises on preferred offset areas. We handle this liaison along with follow-up areas such as reporting on offset fulfilment.

06

Company, Taxation & Statutory Advice

Indian company law, taxation and a large number of other statutes apply in varying degrees to foreign entities entering business ventures in India. Drawing on a long professional career as a Chartered Accountant advising on accounting matters and business laws, we render valuable and timely advice on these matters to our international clients.

How we work best with new clients

To offer the most efficient, time and cost effective services, we strongly suggest — and often insist — that a short, concentrated orientation programme covering the client's technologies, manufacturing and marketing systems and operations be arranged for us by the client at its own location. This approach has been developed on the basis of past experience and has consistently returned to clients many times over the time and money invested in such programmes.
