Our Story

Why we built India Company Setup

After building a team with 18+ years of combined experience — CAs, Company Secretaries, and accountants — and having set up 100+ companies in India including foreign companies, one pattern became impossible to ignore: the mid-market was being failed.

Foreign companies with 50-500 employees trying to set up in India had two choices: pay Big 4 fees their business case could not justify, or rely on local CA firms with no meaningful international tax experience. Neither was good enough.

Getting the transfer pricing structure wrong creates years of audit exposure. Getting FEMA wrong creates penalties up to 3x the transaction value. Getting the DTAA analysis wrong means overpaying withholding tax on every dividend — often indefinitely.

India Company Setup was built to serve the foreign companies that cannot afford Big 4 fees but cannot afford Big 4 mistakes either.

"

"The companies that get India right do not necessarily have the biggest budgets. They have the right advisor at the right moment."

How We Work

Principles that define every engagement

🎯

Structure Before Filing

We design the tax and legal structure before a single document is filed. Transfer pricing model before incorporation. DTAA analysis before the first intercompany payment.

🔗

Integrated Advisory

DTAA, transfer pricing, and FEMA are treated as one picture — not three separate workstreams. Getting one wrong affects the others.

🛡️

Documentation That Defends

Every document is written to survive audit scrutiny — not to meet a minimum compliance threshold.

💬

Plain English — Always

CEOs and CFOs should understand their India tax position without jargon. We translate technical positions into clear commercial language.

👥

Senior Attention — Always

Every engagement is led by a qualified CA, supported by the full team — CS, accountants, and legal. Full depth, senior attention, every time.

🔄

Long-term Partnership

Most clients start with an incorporation engagement and stay on retainer for years. We are built for the full India journey.
