POGLI was established in January 2017 by Dr Karun Malhotra, with the main objective of forming a BRIDGE between Japan and India, especially in the field of technology transfer and development of new business using local eco-systems to the fullest.
We believe that the best way to build business is to use the local eco-system as much as possible. This is more so true when companies want to expand their business overseas.
