Targeting HNIs, businessmen and young entrepreneurs from India and other emerging economies, a diversified Geneva-based group on Friday launched a new venture to help people get residency, set up their companies and make real estate investments in Switzerland.
The new venture, IDDI Investments, will also help people in identifying their target investments, including in distressed companies in their areas of interest and sectors like renewable energy, pharma, biotechnology and information technology.
Launching the new venture during the World Economic Forum 2020 week in this Swiss ski resort town, IDDI Investments' parent firm Switzerland For You SA's Founder and CEO Himanshu said India, China, Russia and Middle East will be among the key target countries and the company will soon launch country-specific campaigns and roadshows there.
He said these countries have a large number of HNIs looking to invest in Switzerland and many of them would even want to shift to this country and the new venture is aimed at helping them with a 360-degree consultancy approach.
The young Indian-origin entrepreneur, whose group is involved in several businesses including trading, hospitality and food, said India and other target countries also have a large base of young entrepreneurs who are interested setting up their businesses in a place like Switzerland given its status as innovation capital of the world.
One of the key areas of focus would be helping people get Swiss residency under the applicable Swiss laws by providing them a complete relocation solution.
It will also help the clients with legal, contractual and banking services, said 44-year old Himanshu, who goes only by his first name.
