Why Singapore Founders Are Setting Up in India.
Six real commercial advantages — not marketing copy.
India-Singapore DTAA
The India-Singapore Double Taxation Avoidance Agreement (in force since 1994, revised 2016) prevents double taxation on income flowing between the two countries — a key advantage for Singapore-based founders.

Singapore is a Hague Apostille Convention member. Documents apostilled via SAL are accepted directly by Indian authorities — no Embassy attestation needed.
Access India's tech talent
Tap one of the world's largest pools of software engineers, CAs, and technical professionals at a fraction of Singapore costs.
100% FDI in most sectors
Automatic Route FDI permitted in IT, consulting, manufacturing, e-commerce, and more. A Singapore entity can hold 100% of an Indian subsidiary.
Startup India benefits
Qualify for DPIIT recognition, income tax exemption for 3 years, and fast-track IP registration through Startup India.
Repatriate profits freely
Dividends and profits can be repatriated to Singapore under FEMA/RBI guidelines, with treaty protection against double taxation.
