Larive International, the independent business development advisory firm headquartered in Zeist, the Netherlands, announces a formal partnership with Intralink India, making Intralink the exclusive Larive Group member in India. Effective immediately, Intralink will serve as Larive’s on-the-ground partner in New Delhi and Mumbai, providing local insights, networks, expertise and resources to support the full suite of Larive’s market-entry and expansion services across a range of industry sectors.
The collaboration cements Larive’s ability to support Dutch and European companies seeking to navigate India’s fast-growing, multifaceted economy. With IMF projections forecasting 6.2 per cent GDP growth in 2025, India offers vast consumer and enterprise markets in pharmaceuticals, IT, automotive, FMCG, agritech, clean energy and beyond. Yet success in India demands rigorous strategy, deep local connections and a long-term mindset. Larive clients will now benefit from Intralink’s firmly established presence and proven track record.
Davinia Lamme, Director at Larive International: “We’re delighted to partner with Intralink. Their excellent on-the-ground insights and network matches Larive’s disciplined approach and analysis. We’re excited to help our clients translate ambition into traction in India, reducing risk, speeding execution and opening doors that matter.”
Under the agreement, Intralink India will integrate seamlessly into Larive’s global network of independent advisory firms, now reaching over 50 high-growth markets across Asia, Central & Eastern Europe, Turkey and Sub-Saharan Africa. As the sole Larive affiliate in India, Intralink will deliver market intelligence, M&A advisory, post-investment services and growth strategy support tailored to each client’s ambitions.
The partnership builds on Larive’s longstanding connection to Adrian Mutton, Chairman of Intralink India, who previously founded Sannam S4 in 2008. Mutton’s three decades of experience guiding hundreds of European and North American companies into India will underpin the joint venture, ensuring clients receive objective, actionable insights and practical support.
Adrian Mutton, Chairman of Intralink India, added: “Larive’s long-standing and deep commitment to supporting the successful market entry and growth of companies from the Netherlands and Europe in India fits wonderfully with our decades-long mission at Intralink, to unlock Asia to the world’s top innovators. As Larive’s local partner, we will deliver transformative business outcomes to companies who want to tap into the incredible India growth story and its talent pool.”
With its rising middle class, world-class pharma and IT sectors, and rapid advancements in electric mobility, clean energy and semiconductors, India is no longer a “nice-to-have” market but an essential frontier for any company with a global outlook and growth targets. Through Larive’s personalised approach, characterised by loyalty, dedication, flexibility and critical problem-solving, and Intralink’s entrenched local expertise, clients will shorten time-to-market, reduce entry costs and accelerate sustainable growth.
To celebrate the newly forged partnership, the Intralink India team will visit the Larive office the week of October 13.
