Direct advocacy

Government support is a particularly precious commodity in India. APCO formulates programs that promote government understanding of clients' interests and objectives, lobbies for the enforcement of standards that protect or advance clients' products and familiarizes clients with the intricacies and protocol of government relations.

Managing the regulatory environment

As the Indian legal system is regularized, APCO helps clients identify and understand forthcoming legislation and its ramifications; however, just as important as the written law is the political climate in which it is enforced. APCO delivers regulatory analysis that enables clients to minimize risk and capitalize on opportunities.

Indirect advocacy

Vocal backing from thought leaders in the media, academia and third-party institutions provides a credible channel through which to influence opinion. By aligning multiple interest groups to publicly support a client's agenda or interests, APCO is able to help clients validate their position while at the same time insulate themselves from criticism by, or controversy among, stakeholders.
