A hard start date already committed to a lease and a hiring plan, before the entity even existed: live, staffed, and payroll-ready in nine weeks.
The situation
A US-headquartered software company needed a wholly-owned Indian subsidiary to house a 40-person engineering team, with a start date already fixed by a signed lease and hiring commitments.
The approach
Entity incorporation, FEMA and RBI compliance for the inbound investment, statutory registrations (PF, ESI, PT, GST), and a first-90-days payroll and compliance calendar handed over before day one.
The outcome
The entity was operational and the first payroll ran on schedule, with every statutory registration in place before the team's start date.

The nine weeks, week by week
- Weeks 1–2: entity incorporated via SPICe+, name reservation and MOA/AOA filed in parallel with the FEMA reporting groundwork for the inbound parent investment.
- Weeks 2–4: statutory registrations run concurrently: PF, ESI, professional tax, and GST, each filed as soon as the entity's own registration allowed rather than queued sequentially.
- Weeks 4–7: payroll infrastructure, offer-letter templates with IP assignment clauses, and the first-90-days compliance calendar built out while hiring ran in parallel against the fixed lease start date.
- Weeks 7–9: dry-run payroll cycle, statutory registration numbers confirmed live, and the entity handed over fully operational days ahead of the 40-person team's start date.
