Empowering Businesses for Global Expansions with Chalanas Strategy

At Chalanas Strategy and Management Consulting, we pride ourselves on a long history of connecting businesses across borders. A notable chapter of our journey involved working with Korean companies, particularly in the shipping sector, when we were based in the UAE and India. Nearly a decade ago, we helped a shipping client recruit talent for the Korean market, conducting interviews with candidates from cities like Seoul and Busan, including many Indians who had settled there. This engagement allowed us to play a key role in onboarding major players in the ship management industry, including Korea's top listed firm.

Our interactions with Korean companies weren’t limited to the shipping sector. We were approached by Korean firms looking to expand into India around the time PSY’s “Gangnam Style” was making waves, allegedly contributing to the country’s GDP growth and setting the stage for the global rise of K-pop and K-dramas. Facilitated by Korea's own trade promotion agencies among other government and private bodies, we had the opportunity to help these clients find answers to their questions about entering Indian markets.

We even encountered Korean food giant, discovering through our research that they had already established a solid foothold in India, with their products such as sweet tooth indulgence snacks gracing the shelves of hypermarkets across the country.

While we have conducted specialized research, due diligence, and tracked the import/export of heavy machinery between Korea and the Middle East, we faced challenges related to language barriers, which limited us from aggressively pursuing Korea especially when compared to a more easily available English speaking population in other cross border geographies nearby. Regions like Southeast Asia bestowed on us opportunities to deliver several successful projects across Singapore, Hong Kong, the Philippines, Thailand, Malaysia, Vietnam and neighboring economies like Japan and China and even handsomely rewarded us for our efforts. The same was true for Middle Eastern region with projects received from across the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) spanning UAE (United Arab Emirates), Oman, Bahrain, KSA (Saudi Arabia), Kuwait and Qatar.

Despite this shift, we remain enthusiastic about rekindling our work in Korea. We recognize the immense potential for collaboration, and with the right communication channels and mutual understanding, we believe the Korean market holds great opportunities for our expertise.

At Chalanas, we remain open to facilitating Korean businesses seeking to expand beyond their borders into regions such as the Middle East, GCC, India, and even the Americas. With our experience, we are confident that we can provide the strategic insight and global market entry support necessary for these companies to succeed internationally.

Let’s pave the way for a new chapter of success, leveraging our past experience to help Korean companies make their mark in global markets.
