Planning to set up operations in India? We provide end-to-end support for US, UK, and European companies entering the Indian market — from entity structuring and incorporation to regulatory registrations, bank account setup, and ongoing compliance management.

India is one of the world's most attractive destinations for business expansion — whether for a subsidiary, captive center, or GCC (Global Capability Center). Navigate India's regulatory environment with our expert guidance from day one, linking your launch with our comprehensive India Registrations & Licenses team.

FAQs

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the most popular corporate structure for a foreign company entering India?

A Wholly-Owned Subsidiary (WOS) registered as a Private Limited Company is the most popular choice because it offers limited liability, allows 100% foreign equity, and operates with maximum operational flexibility.

How long does it take to fully set up and register a subsidiary in India?

With DMCGlobal, the entire process—including obtaining director IDs (DINs), name approval, drafting charters, company incorporation, PAN/TAN allocation, and bank account setup—takes approximately 4 to 6 weeks.

Do we need a physical office or local resident director in India to register?

Yes. Indian law requires a registered local address and at least one director resident in India. DMCGlobal can assist by providing temporary registered address support and professional nominee resident director services if needed.
