Global Business Inroads (GBI) was founded in September 2009 to assist and serve Government, NGOs, Financial Institutions, and Private Sector organizations with their technology, sustainable energy, environment project development, market access and international business needs. In the last 13 years, GBI has positioned itself as a key partner to governments – Indian, EU, UK, USA, Malaysia, Sri Lanka, Africa and collaborated closely with UN and WIPO to support technology companies that have solutions for the UNSDGs to deploy in new markets. GBI also is supporting 100+ companies per annum directly to manage their cross-border innovation, technology transfer and project management.

GBI has developed the Technology Management Interface (TMI) process to scale tech access and deployment: Start-ups, SMEs and Corporates seeking to access and develop the Indian market need continuous handholding and support. To help companies succeed, it is important to have a systematic process that takes them from connecting with potential partners, customers, manufacturers, distributors, investors, large corporates and other ecosystem players – to techno-commercial analysis and localization to pilot to commercialization.
