Talent at Work Marks 5 Years’ Milestone with Launch of Indian Subsidiary to Support Global Associations

Dubai, UAE – May 13, 2026

Talent at Work (TaW), a UAE-based association management company enabling international growth across MENAT and South Asia, is proud to celebrate its fifth anniversary with a strategic milestone: the official incorporation of TaW India Private Limited.

For professional associations and societies as well as trade associations, this expansion offers a seamless, risk-mitigated pathway to scale and sustain their presence in India through a trusted, locally embedded partner that serves as both a representative and an execution arm.

Over the past five years, Talent at Work has built a distinct model that goes beyond traditional association management. Acting as a local representative, TaW enables associations to enter and grow in new markets without establishing their own legal entity or operational infrastructure while also delivering the strategic and operational support needed to drive impact.

India has been central to this journey, offering significant growth potential alongside complex regulatory, cultural, and market dynamics that require local expertise and consistent on-ground presence.

“Expanding into a market like India requires more than strategy; it requires on-ground presence, trust, and operational continuity,” said Dipti Rane, Co-CEO of Talent at Work. “With TaW India, we are strengthening our commitment to being that long-term partner for associations, ensuring they can build relevance and scale in a way that is both locally grounded and globally aligned.”

“Many associations recognize the opportunity in India but are still exploring the right operating model,” added Gaelle Lahad, Co-CEO of Talent at Work. “Our approach is designed to remove that barrier, providing a structured, compliant, and scalable pathway to operate in-market, while ensuring every local action stays perfectly aligned with the association’s global mission.”

The incorporation of the India subsidiary now enables Talent at Work to:

• Act as a local representative on the ground in India for global associations, supporting market entry and presence without heavy upfront investment

• Build and grow membership, certification, and partner ecosystems in the market

• Navigate regulatory and cultural complexities with confidence

• Deliver programs, events, and engagement strategies with full local ownership

As associations rethink international expansion, the shift toward representation-led growth models is becoming increasingly relevant, particularly in high-growth markets where local presence is critical to credibility and scale. Talent at Work’s model bridges this gap, combining strategic advisory with execution and representation to ensure sustainable outcomes.

As the company enters its next phase, the focus remains on enabling associations to expand globally with confidence while building meaningful, lasting ecosystems in the markets they serve.
