India is one of the fastest-growing economies in the world, with a significant goal to become a $5 trillion
economy. The country offers abundant resources and a wide range of business opportunities, making it an attractive
destination for investment from Non-Resident Indians (NRIs), foreign nationals, and foreign companies. One effective
way for such entities to invest in India is through the incorporation of a foreign subsidiary.
he following are some of the India entry strategies for foreign corporates:
Private Limited Company
Incorporation of a private limited company is the easiest and fastest type of India entry strategy for foreign
nationals and foreign companies. Foreign direct investment of up to 100% into a private limited company or limited
company is allowed under the automatic route, wherein no Central Government permission is required. Hence,
incorporation of a private limited company as a wholly-owned subsidiary of a foreign company or joint venture is the
cheapest, easiest and fastest entry strategy for foreign corporations into India.
Limited Liability Partnership
Incorporation of a Limited Liability Partnership (LLP) is also an India entry strategy for foreign nationals or
foreign citizens as 100% FDI in LLP is now allowed. An LLP, however, cannot have shareholders and must be
represented by Partners - thereby making it an ideal choice for investment vehicles and professional firms.
RBI Compliances:

receiving funds from foreign investor(s). The company has to issue shares within 180 days from the date of receiving

date of issue of shares along with: – A Certificate from the Company Secretary certifying that the company has
complied with the procedure for issue of shares as laid down under the Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) Scheme, and,
A certificate from a Chartered Accountant indicating the manner of arriving at the price of the shares issued to
