    Business Incorporation

    Register an appropriate business structure in India and complete all statutory registrations as per applicable laws.

    Step 2

    Sector & Policy Mapping

    Identify the relevant Make in India sector, applicable FDI limits, incentives, and state-specific industrial policies.

    Step 3

    Capital & FDI Compliance

    Ensure full compliance with FEMA and RBI regulations for domestic or foreign investment structures.

    Step 4

    Regulatory Approvals

    Obtain all required approvals such as environmental clearances, factory licenses, GST registration, and labour law compliances.
