Where to start

When starting a business in India, India’s great thinker Rabindranath Tagore might be your
inspiration: “You can’t cross the sea merely by standing and staring at the water.” A powerful
statement that could not be further from the truth. Fortunately, DBi offers you the support
you need when it comes to crossing that sea to the beautiful country of India. When starting a
business, India has a huge potential and is full of opportunities.

Being one of the most diverse countries in the world geographically, India offers several
business entries. Mumbai is known to be the financial capital, but also the region of Delhi is a
powerful business environment. If you prefer doing business in the south, the area around
Chennai is a great choice. A major advantage is that wherever you plan to operate, practically
every person speaks English.

Register your business

On January 16, 2016, the Prime Minister of India, Shri Narendra Modi announced a new
initiative called “Start-Up India” This initiative is designed to guide entrepreneurship by
creating a system that is conducive for young entrepreneurs, but also for experienced
businesses. It serves as a backbone for taking important steps, such as designing a
businessplan, contacting banks, financial advisors and tax advisors. Start-Up India is an easy-
to-use platform that can be downloaded as an app for all smartphone devices. Some important
keypoints of the new system in India are:

 Single window clearance

 10,000 Core funds
 80% reduction in patent registration fee
 90-day exit window
 Exemption from capital gain tax
 Tax exemption on profits for 3 years
 Reduction in red tape
 New compliance system (self-check)
 Protection of IPR (Intellectual Property Rights)
