Expanding the operation to India and specifically, Mumbai has various benefits. The country has relaxation policies that support business activities in the country. The policies are also attractive to investors from different countries. Mumbai has relatively more relaxed regulations than the United States and that makes compliance cost lesser. Comparing the cost of living in Mumbai with other areas in the United States, where the company is based, Mumbai is less costly. Fewer costs of living in the country make the cost of labor affordable (Agarwal, Tatekar, Makwana & Sharma, 2018). The cost of labor in Mumbai is cheaper when compared to different states in the United States. Lastly, India has a large population and Mumbai is one of the most populated cities. A large population is a source of a large market for the factory’s products.

Business policies are simple and easy. IT is improving in the city so people from different countries are visiting Hyderabad. People like to taste western countries' food. The menu has to change according to Indian people. People like to have cakes and desserts so it will be profitable.
