About Ganpati Management Services (GMS)
Ganpati Management Services, or GMS, is an international consulting company. We have been advising businesses since 2009, and we work with clients around the world. This website covers one part of that work: helping companies enter new markets and deal with the rules on trade, customs and foreign investment.
Talk To ExpertWho We Are
GMS did not start as a market entry firm. It started with strategic planning, recruitment and day-to-day HR work, helping companies find the right people and set up their teams properly. That background still shapes how we work. We do not hand a business a fixed package and hope it fits. We look first at the team, the current set-up, the gaps and the problem the business is trying to solve, and only then say what we would do.
Over the years clients kept asking for more than one thing. A company hiring in a hurry also needed help with how it was organised. A company expanding also needed to understand the rules it was walking into. Coordinating that across several different advisers slows everything down, so we built the practice to cover the work in one place. Today we have served more than 50 clients across sectors, over more than 17 years.

How We Work
- We begin by understanding your business, not by pitching a product.
- We tell you plainly what we would do, what it involves and what we cannot do.
- You get one named contact who stays with your account, so you do not have to explain everything again on every call.
- We stay involved through the work instead of handing over a report and disappearing.
- Where a matter needs a lawyer, a chartered accountant or a customs broker, we say so and work alongside yours or bring one in.
- Fees are based on what you need and how much work it takes, not on a fixed package.
What We Believe
We think good advice is practical, honest about its limits and easy to understand. Our aim is to be the consultancy that businesses go to when they want help growing or sorting out a difficult area, with clear thinking and a sensible use of technology to keep things simple. We want clients to trust us because we told them what they needed to hear, including when that was not what they hoped for.
Who We Work With
Our clients range from start-ups to established companies. We have particular experience with businesses in:
- Real estate
- IT and technology
- Finance
- Legal services
- Healthcare
- Start-ups and growing companies
For the services on this site, we also work with international brands entering new markets, companies looking to expand abroad, and importers and exporters who want their customs and trade position in order.

Working With Clients Around the World
We work with clients wherever they are. Most conversations happen by video and phone, and we plan in-person meetings around what the project needs. Tell us your time zone and we will find a slot that works for both sides. When the law requires a local professional, such as a solicitor in Ireland or a licensing specialist in the UAE, we bring one in rather than pretend we can do it ourselves.
- By video and phone
- In person when needed
- Slots that suit your time zone
Leadership and Team

Mrs. Gargi Agarwal
Founder & Director of Operations
Gargi Agarwal founded Ganpati Management Services in 2009, bringing more than twenty years of experience across various industries. Her core strength lies in understanding human behaviour — recognising the right talent and placing the right person in the right role. This ability has consistently helped teams she's worked with perform at their best.
As Director of Operations, Gargi plays a central role in how GMS runs day-to-day — from recruitment decisions to client relationships — ensuring that the personalised, people-first approach GMS is known for actually shows up in how the team operates, not just in what's written on this website. Clients who work with GMS on HR consultancy or workforce planning often interact with Gargi directly, which keeps decision-making close to the people who understand the business.
