For an international company in India, there are different entry options to set up their India business. Selecting the right and well-suited legal entity for international company’s subsidiary in India is mostly determined by client’s market-entry strategy, timeline and strategic actions in India – e.g. for production, installation of machinery and export, warehousing and local demand processing of goods or local service offerings in India.
