Our Brand Identity

Saffron symbolizes the vibrancy and flavor of India. As one of the primary colors (also referred to as 'bhagwa') in the Indian National Flag, it denotes 'dedication'.

These values represents the true spirit behind the organization, which is dedicated to effecting stronger ties for European businesses with India by providing mission management solutions that ultimately allow businesses to set up, conduct and grow their business in the country. Saffron also offers the services in its portfolio to foreign companies established in India who may wish to take advantage of its expertise in those services.

Saffron is dedicated to facilitating and strengthening the exchange with India and offers specialized services that can be accessed and used to the advantage of companies who are planning a trade mission or a delegation visit to the country, or are already conducting business in India and feel the need to grow their visibility or engage more deeply with their target audiences.
