Aparajitha is a company that has thrived in the booming economic climate of India. Due to the network of contacts and bank of knowledge it has developed, Aparajitha will be difficult for larger multinationals to supplant. This case illustrates organizational relationships inside and outside the firm; relationships that give it comparative advantages that could be applied in other areas of business. The case asks students where should the company do next? geographic expansion? or product expansion? or service expansion?
