Finance leaders and founders from across the world on what it's actually like to build in India with CompaniesNext.
“Setting up our wholly owned subsidiary in India felt daunting from the UK, but the CompaniesNext team walked us through every RBI and MCA filing step by step. Incorporation, PAN, TAN and our first FC-GPR filing were all handled without a single delay.”
“We compared several consultants before choosing CompaniesNext to open our GCC in Bengaluru. Their responsiveness and clarity on compliance timelines made an otherwise complex cross-border process feel manageable from day one.”
“Our branch office registration under Section 380 could have taken months on our own. CompaniesNext's team managed the AD bank approval and ROC registration in parallel, and kept us updated at every stage.”
“What impressed us most was the ongoing compliance support after incorporation. Monthly GST filings, statutory registers and board meeting documentation are all handled proactively, so nothing ever catches us by surprise.”
“From our liaison office application to the annual activity certificate filing, CompaniesNext has been a dependable single point of contact for our India operations. Their team understands both the regulatory detail and the practical business context.”
“As NRI founders setting up our LLP, we needed someone who could bridge the gap between our overseas bank account and Indian compliance requirements. CompaniesNext made the entire process transparent and stress-free.”

A subsidiary is a separate Indian legal entity with full commercial rights.
