Where You Fit In

Six situations.

One structure conversation.

Pick the one closest to where you are — we'll show you exactly what changes for your structure, your timeline, and your compliance load.

01

Setting up an India subsidiary

You're a CFO, legal counsel, or finance director at a foreign company that needs an India presence. You need the right structure, compliant FDI filings, and a team that handles the full picture — not just the paperwork.

WOS or Branch Office structureFDI route & RBI complianceTransfer pricing from day oneFull post-incorporation handover
2–3 wk

Typical time from structure sign-off to incorporation certificate.

What We Do

We help global companies enter India the right way.

Not just paper-filing. Strategy first — the structure is designed before a single document is touched.

Company Entry

Incorporated in India. Done properly.

01

Private limited company, wholly owned subsidiary, branch office, or LLP — we advise on the right structure for your model, then handle every filing from MCA to RBI.

International Tax

No surprises. No penalties.

02

Transfer pricing documentation, DTAA planning, PE risk assessment, and FEMA compliance — built into your structure from day one, not bolted on after.

GCC & Captive Centres

Your India capability centre, built right.

03

Full advisory for Global Capability Centres — entity, HR compliance, ESOP design, cost-plus pricing, and a compliance retainer that scales with your headcount.

Post-Incorporation Compliance

Stay compliant. Zero penalties.

04

Monthly GST, TDS, payroll, quarterly advance tax, annual audit, ITR, and FLA Return — all handled on a fixed-fee retainer so your team focuses on the business.

NRI & Startup Advisory

Complex structures. Handled properly.

05

NRI investing or returning to India, Indian startups raising foreign rounds — Schedule 4 FEMA, CCPS structuring, angel tax, DPIIT recognition, FCGPR filing.

India Market Entry Advisory

Strategy before paperwork.

06

Structure design, FDI route, DTAA planning, PE risk assessment — the decisions that must be made before the first filing. We design the full picture first.

Strategy first
Structure designed before you file.
Compliance always
Every detail handled, every time.
Time zone aligned
Responsive support across the globe.
Senior led
Direct access to experienced advisors.

"Most foreign companies enter India with the wrong structure and fix it at audit time. We design it right the first time — saving you 2–3× the cost in corrections."

The Process

What happens after you contact us.

No black box. You know exactly what we're doing, when, and why. Most companies are operational within 30 days of first contact.

Free 30-min strategy call
No retainer to start
One point of contact
Fixed, transparent fees
01

Free Consultation

Day 1

30 minutes. We understand your business model, India objectives, and team plan — then give you a clear structure recommendation before any engagement begins.

02

Structure Design

Week 1

Entity type, FDI route, transfer pricing model, DTAA analysis, PE risk check. Designed before any filing — never retrofitted after.

03

Incorporation

Weeks 2–3

MCA SPICe+ filing, DIN, DSC, PAN, TAN, Certificate of Incorporation. Typical timeline: 7–12 working days after document submission.

04

Post-Incorporation Setup

Week 4

RBI FCGPR filing, GST registration, bank account, payroll setup, and your complete compliance calendar — handed over ready to use.

05

Ongoing Compliance

Month 2+

Monthly retainer: GST, TDS, payroll, MCA filings, annual audit, corporate tax return. One firm, full coverage, fixed fee.

Your success is our priority

"We combine deep regulatory expertise with a personal advisory approach. Every foreign company gets one senior CA, full accountability, and a structure built to last — not just to file.

We don't retrofit compliance at audit time. We get your India entry right the first time, because fixing it later costs 2–3× more."
