How can foreign companies expand into India without setting up a subsidiary?

Foreign companies can expand into India using an Employer of Record (EOR) model which handles payroll, compliance, and regulatory requirements.

What is the most efficient way to enter the Indian market?

Companies can enter India through a subsidiary, EOR model, or GCC setup depending on speed, cost, and long-term strategy.

Key requirements include GST registration, corporate tax compliance, transfer pricing documentation, and adherence to FEMA and RBI regulations.

A GCC is a captive offshore unit that supports global operations such as finance, IT, and analytics with cost efficiency and scalability.

Profits can be repatriated via dividends, royalties, or intercompany transactions subject to tax and FEMA regulations.
