Six situations. One structured conversation.

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 Weeks

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.

01
Company Entry

Incorporated in India. Done properly.

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.

02
International Tax

No surprises. No penalties.

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

03
GCC & Captive Centres

Your India capability centre, built right.

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

04
Post-Incorporation Compliance

Stay compliant. Zero penalties.

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.

05
NRI & Startup Advisory

Complex structures. Handled properly.

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

06
India Market Entry Advisory

Strategy before paperwork.

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.

Track Record

What clients actually got done.

Anonymized at client request. All outcomes independently verifiable.

19

days, entity to bank account

Europe HQUK HQ

SaaS company enters India

Needed a fully India-compliant entity live before an engineering hire could start — incorporation, GST, and bank account opening ran in parallel rather than in sequence.

$340k

saved through structure correction

FintechUK HQ

London fintech restructures a mistaken entry

An FDI compliance gap was flagged before it triggered penalty exposure; the entry structure was corrected within a fiscal year rather than compounding across multiple audit cycles.

12

weeks, entity to first payroll run

GCCUAE HQ

Dubai group opens a 12-person GCC

Registered office identification, entity structuring, and staged hiring compliance were sequenced together so the team could onboard before every filing had cleared.

Zero

transfer-pricing disputes in 5 years

SaaSUS HQ

US SaaS scales to a 150-person India team

A defensible transfer-pricing model, benchmarked and documented from incorporation, has cleared every annual audit cycle without a single adjustment — across a 150-person India engineering team.

"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."
