Recent Engagement — How We Helped

Context: a group of 4 co-founders launching an AI-powered fintech startup in Bangalore.

Challenge: The founders needed to incorporate quickly to sign a term sheet with an angel investor, but had complex requirements — one NRI director, customised Articles of Association with vesting clauses, and simultaneous DPIIT startup recognition for tax benefits.

Our approach: We handled end-to-end incorporation using SPICe+ (INC-32), securing DSC for all 4 directors including the NRI (using foreign address attestation), drafted customised MOA/AOA with founder vesting and anti-dilution provisions, and filed DPIIT recognition immediately post-incorporation.

Outcome: Certificate of Incorporation received in 6 working days. PAN/TAN/GST registration allotted simultaneously through SPICe+. DPIIT recognition approved within 48 hours of incorporation. The angel round closed within 3 weeks of engagement.
