Establishing a company in India

India is located in South Asia, seventh in size in terms of area, and with a population of 1.2 billion it is the second-most densely populated country in the world. To its south are the great expanses of the Indian Ocean, to its southwest is the Arabian Sea, and to its southeast is the Bay of Bengal. Its northern borders are shared with Pakistan, China, Nepal, Bhutan, Burma, and Bangladesh. India is a great, diverse, and fascinating country in terms of culture, demography, economy, and geography. It has the fastest growth rate currently in the world, and it is developing massive markets in many different fields, from infrastructure and communications to food products and financial services. This growing economy may prove an important consideration when deciding to establish a company in India, providing entrepreneurs significant advantages in certain business activities.  

The capital of India is New Delhi, and its largest city is Mumbai, with a population of 12.5 million. Its official languages are Hindi and English, so establishing and incorporating a company in India does not require overcoming language barriers. The country was under British rule for many years, and gained its independence only in 1947. This is a vast and complex country, but also one that is developing rapidly and attracting huge international investments, with foreign entrepreneurs now being received more efficiently and agreeably than ever before.
