Why This Matters

Foreign companies create jobs and pay taxes in India — that’s true. But the ultimate profits and strategic control usually flow abroad. Indian-owned companies also create jobs, pay taxes, and reinvest profits back into our economy. Switch To India simply helps you see who owns the brands you buy, so you can make informed choices — balancing quality, price, and impact.

Common Questions & Myths

Q: Don’t foreign companies create jobs in India?

Yes, they do. But profits and strategic control flow to their parent countries. Indian-owned firms also create jobs — and keep profits here.

Q: Even Indian companies import raw materials. Isn’t it the same?

Inputs may be global, but ownership decides where long-term wealth and decision-making power stay.

Q: Some foreign brands are listed in India. Don’t Indian investors benefit?

Partially, yes. But controlling ownership and most profits remain with the foreign parent company.

Q: Are foreign brands always better in quality or price?

Not always. Indian brands are rapidly improving. The goal is not boycott, but informed choice with clear alternatives.

Q: Isn’t globalisation about interdependence? Why focus only on India?

Global trade is healthy, but self-reliance ensures resilience. Supporting Indian ownership strengthens India’s long-term growth.
