A joint venture is a business arrangement in which two or more parties work together toward a defined commercial goal.
In India, this may mean a foreign company partnering with an Indian company, an overseas investor joining an Indian promoter, or two business groups pooling resources for one opportunity. A joint venture can offer local market knowledge, distribution, technology, capital, operational capability, or sector experience, but its success depends on clarity between the partners.
