Start with your business model and responsibilities
Tell us where the parent company is based, what the Indian operation will do, who will own it, and which decisions or deadlines need attention. We can scope support for an overseas group establishing or operating an Indian business. Your existing legal, tax and finance advisers can remain part of the discussion.
Agree the work plan before the handovers
An engagement can define the India workstreams, the information each adviser supplies, approval points and the reporting timetable. The responsibility matrix should name a management owner for decisions and distinguish our agreed deliverables from filings, banking or legal steps handled by others.
Coordinate remotely, with a stated time zone
Begin by email, a video discussion or a preferred-time meeting request. State your country and time zone so we can propose a mutually workable time. Availability is confirmed directly; the website does not promise round-the-clock coverage or an instant reservation.
Connect Indian books with group reporting
Where included in scope, monthly accounting support can be organised around a close calendar, a document request list, reconciliation exceptions and an agreed management reporting pack. Group reporting requirements and Indian statutory treatment should be considered separately and reconciled where needed.
Keep the facts consistent across advisers
Ownership, contracts, funding, transaction dates and the underlying activity should be consistent across incorporation, foreign investment reporting, tax review and bookkeeping. A shared issues list helps identify decisions that require input from more than one adviser.
Prepare for the first conversation
- Home jurisdiction, group structure and the proposed or existing Indian activity.
- The status of incorporation, banking and any investment or reporting steps.
- Advisers already involved, management contacts and the reporting timetable.
- The decision needed, important deadlines and records not yet available.
Start with a short outline. Confidential supporting documents can follow through an agreed channel after scope and information needs are understood.
Practical starting points
- Setting up in India: clarify the business model.
- Foreign investment and FEMA reporting: organise the records.
- Ongoing compliance for a foreign-owned Indian company.
- India Operations Starter Pack.
