Business Setup in India

Business Setup in India

Many companies want to grow beyond their borders. Countries like India, China, and Brazil are popular choices for international business due to their large customer bases and fast-growing economies. India, in particular, has a strong economy, growing at an average rate of 8.5% over the last five years. It’s an attractive destination for investment, thanks to its vast workforce and resources.

Government Support:

The Indian government encourages foreign investment by easing regulations, allowing 100% foreign investment in many sectors, and simplifying the process of setting up businesses. However, starting a business in India still requires meeting various legal requirements.
