NorthStar Insights has officially launched its Mumbai headquarters, marking the firm’s formal entry into India as it looks to strengthen its advisory footprint across high-growth and cross-border sectors.
The senior-led global risk and communications consultancy, headquartered in Dubai, said the Mumbai office will focus on sectors including financial services and private capital, Indian conglomerates pursuing international expansion, multinational corporations navigating India’s regulatory landscape, energy and critical minerals, and in-house communications teams handling global stakeholder complexity.
Commenting on the expansion, Arth Malani, chief executive officer of NorthStar Insights, said India’s evolving regulatory and investment landscape requires a more nuanced advisory approach.
“India is no longer a market the world can afford to misread. The capital flows, the regulatory shifts, the cross-border ambitions of Indian organisations are moving at a pace that demands a different quality of counsel,” Malani said.
He added that the firm aims to place senior expertise directly alongside business decision-makers, helping organisations navigate complexity and convert it into strategic advantage.
Shalini Singh, senior advisor for strategic communications at NorthStar Insights, said the India launch reflects the company’s commitment to providing globally informed strategic counsel at a time when India is emerging as a major driver of global growth.
“As a Senior Advisor to NorthStar Insights, I am excited to be part of its India journey at a time when the country is emerging as a powerful driver of global growth and transformation,” Singh said.
The firm said its advisory model operates on two parallel tracks, helping international organisations interpret India’s regulatory and political environment for boards and investment committees, while also supporting Indian businesses with advisory capabilities across the Middle East and North Africa, East Asia, Southeast Asia and Europe.
