SBF opens Bengaluru enterprise centre to support firms’ India expansion

The centre to engage 470 companies through advisory and missions

The Singapore Business Federation (SBF) opened its fourth Singapore Enterprise Centre (SEC) in Bengaluru to support Singapore companies expanding into India.

The centre, launched under the GlobalConnect SBF initiative with Enterprise Singapore, will provide market advisory, business matching and in-market operational support.

SBF expects SEC Bengaluru to engage more than 470 companies over the next two years through missions, roundtables and capability programmes.

Business enquiries to SBF on India increased from 2023 to 2025, reinforcing India’s role as a key destination for Singapore firms, the SBF said.

The launch was officiated by Singapore’s Minister of State for Foreign Affairs and Trade and Industry Gan Siow Huang, India’s Labour and Employment and MSME Minister Shobha Karandlage, and Karnataka’s Minister for Electronics, IT and Biotechnology Priyank M. Kharge.

A Memorandum of Understanding was signed between LAC Global and JVKM India (Mitraa Wellness) to expand Singapore’s health and wellness activities in India.

SEC Bengaluru will be supported by SBF market advisors and local service providers to help firms navigate regulatory requirements and utilise agreements such as AIFTA and CECA. A new India Business Committee chaired by Prasoon Mukherjee will support the centre’s engagement and enterprise outreach across India.

The people you want to reach are already in this room.

Every quarter, SBR lands on the desks of the founders, CFOs, and directors running Asia's most consequential companies. Every day, they open our newsletter and read our website. It's a room that took twenty years to build — and it's the one most of our partners are trying to get into.

The good news is that the door is open. We work with companies on thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. The shape of the right partnership depends on what you're trying to do, which is why we'd rather start with a conversation than send a rate card.

If you have something this room should know about, tell us. We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how.

No rate cards until we understand the brief. It's a better use of everyone's time.
