Australia India Business Pty Limited (AIBPL)

What Australia India Business Pty Limited (AIBPL) does

Australia India Business Pty Limited (AIB) is a private bilateral trade and investment facilitation company incorporated in New South Wales in 2023. The company originates, structures, and executes cross-border transactions between Australia and India, serving investors, deal partners, Australian employers across construction, hospitality, and aged care, government agencies (DFAT, Trade & Investment Queensland, TAFE Queensland, QUT, and Indian counterparts including TPCI), and education institutions. AIB operates through three entities: AIB (NSW head office), AIBQ (Queensland, incorporated April 2026), and AIBX Enterprise Pvt Ltd (India, 50/50 JV with Educert India, established 2024), supported by parent company Exemplar Performance Advantage Pty Ltd (est. 1981).

AIB's core offerings include bilateral deal-making and investment services (asset sales, joint ventures, deal structuring), workforce and skills pipelines for shortage sectors, government-supported training programs delivered through TAFE Queensland-accredited curricula, a DFAT-funded construction and robotics skills pilot (Phase 1 from July 2026), hospitality training via the Greater Noida India training centre, and a 12-year Australia-India Sports Corridor framework aligned with Brisbane's 2032 Olympics. The company does not operate a technology platform; its primary proprietary asset is the Exemplar Skills Assessment, a globally recognised candidate evaluation tool developed by the parent company. Distribution is exclusively B2B, with no consumer-facing product and no mobile app.

The business model is professional services with multiple revenue streams: fixed consultation fees paid in advance, success-based fees tied to project milestones, percentage-based transaction fees for facilitated deals, and retainer arrangements for ongoing advisory. AIB is positioned as a party to transactions (bringing its own capital) rather than a pure introducer. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed. Notable mandates include a $1B+ Queensland western corridor defence precinct development and the DFAT Maitri Grant (MGP-R2-377) awarded in 2026 for the bilateral construction and robotics skills pilot. The group has 5 employees, with most activity concentrated in 2024–2026 entity formations and a planned Phase 1 commercial pilot commencing July 2026.

Broad incumbents

• Study Group: Study Group is a global education pathway provider operating international foundation and pathway programs including Australia. It competes with AIB's education sector activities by facilitating Indian student and skills mobility into Australian institutions, though at much larger scale and broader program scope.
• INTO University Partnerships: INTO University Partnerships is a major international education pathway provider placing students from markets like India into Australian and other universities. AIB's education segment and TAFE Queensland-aligned skills pipeline compete for similar Indian student and skills mobility flows into Australia.
• Mazars Australia: Mazars Australia operates as part of the global Mazars network with India cross-border advisory capabilities. The firm competes for similar bilateral Australia-India transaction support work as AIB, particularly for mid-market clients entering or investing across the corridor.
• BDO Australia: BDO Australia offers audit, tax and advisory services with an established India-Australia cross-border practice. BDO serves many of the same mid-market bilateral deal and investment clients AIB targets, providing international corporate finance and trade advisory services.
• Navitas: Navitas is a large-scale international education and skills pathway provider with established India recruitment and Australia-based program delivery. AIB's bilateral education/skills corridor (TAFE Queensland-accredited training in India with Australian employment pathways) addresses the same international workforce and student mobility market.
• KPMG Australia (India Business Practice): KPMG operates one of Australia's most active Australia-India advisory practices, supporting cross-border deal structuring, market entry, and investment advisory. AIB's deal-making and investment facilitation services compete for similar B2B clients needing bilateral transaction support, though at vastly different scale.
• EY Australia (India Practice): EY Australia maintains a dedicated India business practice supporting cross-border transactions, market entry and bilateral deal structuring. As a Big 4 advisory house, EY offers overlapping services to AIB's investor and deal-partner clients, with greater resources but less specialized bilateral focus.

Direct peers

• Edvance International: Edvance International is a skills development and international education company focused on India and other emerging markets, operating international training and workforce programs. AIB's AIBX-skills pipeline and TAFE Queensland-accredited vocational delivery model overlap closely with Edvance's international workforce development activities.
• Australia-India Business Council (AIBC): Australia-India Business Council is the long-standing bilateral industry chamber promoting Australia-India trade, investment and policy engagement. AIB's co-founder Con Livissianis previously served as AIBC's National Chair Agribusiness and National Treasurer. AIBC represents the same bilateral mandate AIB targets, with overlapping government and stakeholder networks on both sides.
• Acclime (formerly Sannam S4): Acclime (formerly Sannam S4) is a market-entry and corporate services firm helping global businesses establish and operate in India and Asia-Pacific. Like AIB, it operates across borders, leverages local networks and government relationships, and supports deal execution — making it the closest direct comparable for AIB's bilateral facilitation model.
