Entering India Market

End-To-End OEM Partner Workflow

IBH provides a fully integrated market-entry and post-market service model for global OEM partners entering India. This document details each stage of the workflow — from initial OEM engagement through regulatory approval, FTZ warehousing, distribution, and ongoing materiovigilance support.

OEM Engagement

  • OEM CONTACTS IBH OEM shares product details, therapeutic area, and business objectives with IBH.
  • Market research & CI IBH conducts India market research and competitive intelligence. A roadmap is shared covering market size, pricing benchmarks, competitor landscape, and India opportunity assessment.

Market Strategy

Based on research outcomes, IBH presents two go-to-market pathways:

  • Distributor-led marketing Products marketed through IBH-managed distributor network.
  • Make in India pathway Where the oem product qualifies, IBH facilitates local manufacturing partnerships. This pathway triggers a separate regulatory and commercialisation track with additional benefits under the pli and make in India schemes.
    Government tenders are a key opportunity under the make in india pathway for global companies. IBH supports tender identification, documentation and submission in this model.

Both pathways may be pursued simultaneously depending on product category and oem strategy. Path b (make in India) runs in parallel and does not delay the import pathway.

Regulatory Approvals

  • CDSCO import submission IBH regulatory team prepares and submits the import licence application to cdsco. For medical devices, this includes form md-14/15 under MDR 2017, technical dossiers, test reports, and coc.
  • Make in India approval (parallel) If path B is activated, a separate cdsco approval is obtained for the local manufacturing arrangement. IBH coordinates with the manufacturing partner on plant approvals, qms compliance, and product registration.
  • DCGI approval received Upon grant of import licence / dcgi approval, IBH notifies the oem and activates the logistics chain for product release from FTZ.

Logistics & FTZ Warehousing

  • OEM ships to IBH FTZ warehouse Before the import licence is granted, OEM ships product to IBH's Free Trade Zone (FTZ) warehouse. This pre-positioning strategy eliminates delay between licence grant and market availability.
  • India-specific relabelling in FTZ Immediately on licence receipt, India-specific relabelling (language, importer details, CDSCO licence number, shelf life) is completed within the Ftz — without incurring import duties — and product is exported to Indian territory.
  • Continuous FTZ inventory IBH maintains rolling inventory at the FTZ warehouse. Products are released to India on a demand basis, ensuring continuous availability without over-importation or duty exposure.
FTZ Warehousing and Logistics

Compliance standards maintained throughout: ISO 13485 distribution practices, WHO GDP guidelines, and Good Supply Chain Management (GSCM) protocols.

Import Clearance & Distribution

  • Import clearance support IBH manages customs clearance, Bill of Entry filing, and condition-specific transport (temperature-controlled, controlled environment where required) to IBH's Indian storage facility.
  • Distributor dispatch Products are dispatched from IBH's Indian facility to authorised distributors under validated cold chain / ambient conditions as per product specifications. Each distributor receives shipments based on order triggers.
  • Market / Hospital delivery Distributors deliver to hospitals, clinics, diagnostic labs, or direct institutional buyers. Product reaches the end user with full traceability maintained through the IBH supply chain system.

Post-Market Support & Materiovigilance

  • Customer care support IBH customer care team provides helpdesk support to end users — hospitals, clinical staff, procurement teams. Issues are logged, triaged, and escalated to field teams or OEM technical teams as needed.
  • Field clinical engineer deployment For technical faults, IBH deploys Field Clinical Engineers (FCEs) on-site to troubleshoot, repair, or replace equipment. FCEs are trained on OEM product specifications and service manuals.
  • Materiovigilance — ade/sade reporting IBH serves as the Authorised Indian Representative (AIR) / importer responsible for materiovigilance. Adverse Device Events (ADEs) and Serious ADEs (SADEs) are reported to CDSCO as required under MDR 2017 and the Medical Device Materiovigilance Programme of India (MvPI).
  • Product recall management In the event of a quality or safety alert, IBH executes field recalls through its distributor network with full traceability. Recall notifications are submitted to CDSCO and coordinated with OEM in real time.
Post-Market Support and Materiovigilance

OEM CRM access: OEM partners are provided real-time access to IBH's CRM dashboard — covering inventory levels, order status, customer complaints, , ADE/SADE reports, and recall actions — across all stages of the workflow.
