Our expertise
In practice
India rewards multinationals that enter deliberately and punishes those that improvise. Our India market entry advisory runs the sequence in the right order: the commercial case, then the structure (entity form, jurisdiction, capitalization, and the FEMA pathway for the investment), then the operational build. Because our strategy, legal-tax, and trade practices work as one team, the structure that gets recommended is one that can actually be executed and maintained.
For groups already operating in India, we advise on the recurring cross-border questions: intra-group arrangements and their indirect tax treatment, repatriation planning, exchange-control compliance, and the restructurings that keep the India footprint aligned with global strategy.
The perennial MNC challenge in India is alignment: global governance standards meeting local statutory reality. We design subsidiary governance that satisfies both: board structures meeting Indian requirements while preserving group decision rights, compliance calendars that give regional headquarters genuine visibility, and reporting that keeps the India entity legible to the group.
Two workstreams dominate for many of our multinational clients. The first is trade compliance: customs, SVB proceedings for related-party imports, and export controls. The second is Global Capability Centre establishment, where our GCC setup advisory takes groups from feasibility through location, operating model, entity setup, and stabilization.
