Indobox Accelerates India Expansion with Launch of "J-GATE" Dedicated Working Hub for Japanese Companies in Hyderabad

Indobox Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Nagoya, Aichi Prefecture, CEO: Daisuke Tanji), specializing in supporting Japanese companies expanding into India, has officially opened "J-GATE," a dedicated working hub for Japanese companies, through its local subsidiary Indobox India Private Limited (Hyderabad, Telangana, South India). J-GATE will function as an innovative business hub connecting India and Japan, addressing the challenges many Japanese companies face when expanding into India.

Challenges Faced by Japanese Companies in India Expansion

In recent years, many Japanese companies have focused on the growth potential of the Indian market and have visited India to explore expansion and business opportunities. However, obtaining in-depth and reliable "live information" locally, building networks with Indians, and adapting to complex business customs remain significant challenges.

J-GATE's Multifunctionality Enables One-Stop India Expansion and Talent Acquisition

In India, "support for local business expansion" and "securing excellent Indian talent" are inseparable and must be tackled together for success. J-GATE, as a unique hub combining both functions, offers an innovative solution that brings together all the know-how, connections, and ongoing support that Indobox has cultivated.

In addition to supporting Japanese companies' expansion, Indobox also focuses on nurturing and introducing talent through its Indian talent matching platform "IndiGate." Furthermore, its self-operated "Indobox Academy" provides advanced Japanese language education and business etiquette training aimed at successful careers in Japanese companies. J-GATE maximizes these resources to offer a working space that companies considering expansion can use freely even without a physical office, while providing an optimal system to seamlessly support everything from "Go/No-Go" decisions for Indian business to building local teams. Demonstrating immediate demand for this platform, two Japanese companies considering business development in India have already joined J-GATE as members shortly after its opening.

Key Features of J-GATE

Thorough Support from India Experts: Provides comprehensive knowledge from the basics to advanced aspects of Indian business, introduces network connections across India built by Indobox, and supports company establishment and talent acquisition, offering full assistance with the "A to Z" of Indian business.

Monthly Membership System: Membership grants access to the above services, as well as monthly lectures and study sessions by India experts, providing opportunities for continuous knowledge acquisition and information exchange.

Dedicated Community Manager On-Site: A dedicated community manager (Indian, fluent in Japanese) is stationed to handle "all inquiries" and provide various support for member companies, offering meticulous assistance.

Indian Personnel Development Function: Also serves to develop Indian personnel for financial institutions and other companies supporting Japanese expansion, strengthening the system to indirectly support Japanese companies.

Strong Advisory Members

J-GATE's advisory members include Srinivas Rao Mahankali (MSR), former CEO of T-Hub, India's largest startup and innovation facility in Hyderabad; Sujit Jagirdar, former CIO; Uday Desai, former Founding Director of IIT Hyderabad; and Tomio Isogai, former President of Sharp India and current Indobox Advisor, a Japan-India business consultant. All of them have long-standing connections and history with Japan-India relations, possess a deep understanding of both cultures, and have extensive knowledge and networks within India's industrial and academic sectors. They praise Daisuke Tanji's (Indobox CEO) passion and leadership in fostering Japan-India collaboration and ecosystem formation, and have expressed their full support for J-GATE's business support.

Viinay Sarikonda, CEO of Genesys Info X, J-GATE's operating partner, is also a member of this strong advisory board, supporting the success of Japanese companies in India. J-GATE is located within "CYBER GATEWAY" in Hitec City, the heart of Hyderabad, adjacent to the working space currently staffed by Indobox India members. This allows resident companies to promote their businesses in close coordination with local expert staff.

Grand Opening Ceremony

The opening ceremony of J-GATE, held on June 22, 2026, was celebrated with approximately 50 distinguished guests in attendance. The event reflected broad interest in Japan-India partnerships and multi-generational expectations, with attendees including representatives from JETRO Bengaluru, Japanese companies in India, university officials, prominent figures from industry, business leaders and entrepreneurs based in Hyderabad, key ecosystem partners such as Indobox's strategic partners Woxsen University, MXC, DMI, Kodryx AI, and The Hyderabad Anime Club, as well as expatriates and business travelers from Japan, and enthusiastic university students.
