What Fox&Angel does

Fox&Angel is an India-headquartered, bespoke consulting firm founded in 1998 that helps international brands and multinational companies expand into India and approximately 15 other emerging economies. The firm operates on a hub-and-spoke model in which a small core team leads custom-curated teams of senior consultants, tiered at 15, 25, or 35 years of prior experience drawn from top 10 global consulting brands. Its service portfolio spans end-to-end market entry — Brand-India Fit Assessment, launch strategy, FDI advisory, entity setup, regulatory compliance, team building, marketing and advertising, partner identification, and relaunch — and has extended into adjacent practices including strategy consulting (corporate strategy, M&A advisory, pricing, GTM), digital consulting, project services (change management, corporate entrepreneurship, family-to-corporate conversion), government liaisoning, and sustainability/EHS. The firm explicitly differentiates by combining strategic advisory with implementation delivery via its 'Foxvantage' model, with execution in marketing and advertising supported by core partners Apppl Combine and Brandwand.

Fox&Angel has operational presence in 17 cities — India (Gurugram regional HQ), Singapore, UK (Cambridge), UAE (Dubai), Saudi Arabia (Riyadh), Mexico (Mexico City), Australia (Perth), Russia (Moscow), France (Paris), Germany (Frankfurt), Poland (Warsaw), and six US metros (Atlanta, Boston, Fort Worth, Minneapolis, Portland, Salt Lake City) — almost all delivered through WeWork flexible offices. GTM is sales-led and relationship-driven, with the firm targeting enterprise international brands through website-driven inbound and direct outreach. Pricing is engagement-based and not publicly disclosed, with multi-year contract cadences and fees scaled to consultant tier (15/25/35-year experience). The firm claims a 15,000+ global expert panel and 100+ brands developed, launched, and/or promoted historically; no revenue, funding, ownership, or financial details are disclosed.
