The Practice

Every discipline — in-house, under one accountable partner.

Legal, tax, regulatory, and payroll functions managed by dedicated specialists on our staff. No outsourcing. No third-party handoffs. Your India matters under a single engagement letter, with complete confidentiality and direct partner access.

Firm Composition

Thirty-five specialists. Zero outsourcing.

When your parent company's general counsel calls on a Thursday evening to ask about a FEMA position, a CA picks up. When your group controller needs reconciliation to IFRS on a tight close, the same team that prepared your books delivers it.

EOR works for 1–5 people. After that, the cost compounds and control disappears.

At 8–10 employees the monthly EOR markup exceeds the fixed cost of your own India entity — and you still don't own your IP chain cleanly. We manage the full transition: new entity, employment transfers, payroll setup, zero downtime.

1–4 employees EOR is probably right
5–8 employees Review the numbers carefully
8+ employees Subsidiary is almost always better
Proprietary IP being built Subsidiary — regardless of headcount
Need to invoice Indian clients Subsidiary — EOR cannot invoice
Jurisdiction-Specific Advisory

Your India structure must reflect where you come from.

A US-headquartered company and a UK-headquartered company face fundamentally different tax, reporting, and structural considerations in India. Every engagement is tailored to your home jurisdiction.

For US-headquartered companies

We structure your India entity around your Delaware, Wyoming or California parent — ensuring US GAAP alignment, clean transfer-pricing documentation, and treaty-efficient profit flows between the two jurisdictions.

Read the US advisory brief
  • Delaware / Wyoming / California parent structure alignment
  • Transfer-pricing benchmarking to IRS standards
  • India–US tax treaty analysis for your entity type
  • Documentation for cross-border shared services
  • Payroll & compensation benchmarking for India tech teams
  • Support for US parent auditors and 10-K disclosures

For UK-headquartered companies

We protect your UK parent from Permanent Establishment exposure, align your India reporting with UK GAAP and HMRC expectations, and structure intercompany arrangements that withstand scrutiny from both HMRC and the Indian Revenue.

Read the UK advisory brief
  • India–UK treaty positions for service income
  • Permanent Establishment (PE) risk guidance
  • Documentation support for UK parent audits and HMRC requests
  • Handling reimbursements, intercompany payables & expenses
  • Payroll & HR compliance for UK-owned India teams

For European-headquartered companies

We manage the complexity of operating across Indian and EU regulatory frameworks — aligning transfer pricing, supporting group audit requirements, and structuring intercompany arrangements for R&D, services and shared-function models.

Read the EU advisory brief
  • EU transfer pricing & compliance alignment
  • Support for group auditors across multiple jurisdictions
  • Hiring structures for engineering and scientific roles
  • Intercompany documentation for shared R&D and technical services
  • GST, TDS & ROC compliance for wholly-owned EU subsidiaries

For Singapore-headquartered companies

We advise Singapore parents — including holding structures and operating companies — on India entry, leveraging the India–Singapore DTAA, managing withholding tax positions, and aligning reporting with MAS and IRAS expectations where relevant.

Read the Singapore advisory brief
  • India–Singapore DTAA treaty optimisation
  • Withholding tax planning for dividends, royalties, fees
  • Holding-company structure alignment with Indian subsidiary
