Half-Space by AADE

You know your business. We know India.

Half the work of entering a new market is knowing your product. The other half is knowing the ground: who to call, where to build, how goods move, what it costs. Half-Space covers that half.

India rewards the prepared.
It punishes guesswork.

Most companies don't struggle with the decision to enter India. They struggle with the hundred decisions after it: which state, which site, which partners, which approvals, which distribution model. Getting any of these wrong costs months, and advisors who have only seen India on paper can't tell you which ones matter.

Too many voices

Consultants, agents and intermediaries all claim to open doors. Few can show you what's behind them.

Fragmented ground

Land, approvals, labour, warehousing and distribution work differently state by state.

Execution gaps

A good market-entry report is not a working supply chain.

How it works

One point of contact for your India setup

We connect you with the right people in India, then coordinate the pieces until your operation is running.

01

Understand

We map your product, target markets, volumes and timeline.

02

Connect

We introduce you to vetted partners: site and real-estate specialists, legal and tax advisors, manufacturers, distributors and industry contacts.

03

Plan

We build the practical plan with you: location, warehousing, product roadmap, distribution model and commercials.

04

Run

We stay on as your coordinator, and AADE Trans handles freight, customs and warehousing as you scale.

Illustrative example

An FMCG manufacturer setting up in Noida

A European food manufacturer wants a production and distribution base serving North India. Half-Space would:

  • Shortlist industrial sites in the Noida–Greater Noida corridor with the right approvals profile;
  • Introduce local legal, compliance and real-estate partners;
  • Plan warehousing and a distribution network covering Delhi NCR and neighbouring states;
  • Model import costs for machinery and inputs alongside the domestic distribution costs;
  • Run inbound freight and customs through AADE Trans.
Why AADE

A decade on the ground, not just on paper

Half-Space is built on the same operating experience that runs AADE Trans every day.

Operating since 2015

AADE Trans has moved cargo into and across India for over ten years. We know how goods actually clear, move and get stored here.

Freight consultation, extended

We already advise clients on routing, customs and supply chain design. Half-Space builds on that experience.

A network across industries

Relationships with manufacturers, service providers, industry bodies and specialists built through years of operations.

We stay for execution

Most advisors leave after the report. We run the logistics that keep your operation moving.

Going the other way

Indian companies expanding abroad

Half-Space also works in reverse. We help Indian businesses find the right people to set up in select international markets. If you're exploring a move abroad, talk to us about where our network can help.
