Bank Opening

Your company is incorporated. The next immediate need is a business bank account to accept investor wires, receive client payments, and meet GST filing requirements. We integrate bank account opening directly into the incorporation process via AGILE-PRO-S — eliminating weeks of paperwork and branch visits.

DPIIT Certification

DPIIT Recognition is not just a badge — it is a legal gateway to an 80% reduction in patent fees, a 3-year income tax holiday under Section 80-IAC, exemption from Angel Tax under Section 56(2)(viib), and eligibility to bid in government tenders reserved exclusively for Startup India entities.

Key Deliverables

GST Filing & Taxation

A single missed GSTR filing generates a cascade of late fees, interest accruals, blocked ITC claims, and potential suspension of your GSTIN — paralyzing your ability to invoice clients and claim refunds. Our managed GST compliance service ensures every return is filed accurately, on time, every month.

Key Deliverables
GSTIN Registration in 3–7 Days: We prepare and submit your GST registration application with optimised documentation, proactively managing any officer queries to get your GSTIN issued without rejection.
GSTR-1, 3B, 9 & 9C Filing: Timely filing of monthly outward supplies (GSTR-1), tax liability statements (GSTR-3B), and annual returns (GSTR-9/9C) — with zero manual intervention from your team.

Compliance

Essential Startup Approach

An 'Active' MCA status is not just a legal formality — it is a non-negotiable prerequisite for every VC term sheet, bank loan, and government tender. A single missed ROC filing compounds into penalties up to ₹12 lakhs, director disqualification under Section 164(2), and the inability to alter your company's structure when you need it most.

Key Deliverables
ROC Annual Filings (AOC-4 & MGT-7A): We prepare and file your Financial Statements (AOC-4) and Annual Return (MGT-7/7A) with the MCA before the September 30 and November 29 deadlines respectively — keeping your company in good standing.
Board Meetings & Statutory Registers: Automated calendar reminders, agenda drafting, and minutes preparation for all mandatory board meetings, AGMs, and EGMs. Statutory registers (members, directors, charges) maintained and updated digitally.

Hiring Agreements: Generate lawyer-reviewed offer letters, employment contracts, and consultant agreements in just a few clicks.

Compliance

Spend Analysis

Most startups discover they are haemorrhaging cash only when the bank account balance triggers panic. Spend Analysis gives your finance team real-time, categorized visibility into every rupee leaving the company — so you can extend runway, eliminate waste, and walk into board meetings with numbers that command confidence.

Key Deliverables
Automated Bank Feed Categorisation: Connect your corporate bank account for AI-powered expense categorisation into personnel costs, SaaS subscriptions, cloud infrastructure, marketing, and professional fees — updated daily.
TDS Liability Identification: Automatically flag vendor payments that require Tax Deducted at Source (TDS) deduction under relevant sections — preventing missed deductions that attract interest and penalties under Section 201.

Raise

IP Protection

In the eyes of institutional investors, unprotected intellectual property is a valuation killer. VCs and acquirers run IP searches on Day 1 of due diligence. An unregistered trademark, an unprotected codebase, or a disputed patent can kill a deal mid-negotiation. We help you build an IP moat that survives the most rigorous audit.

Key Deliverables
Trademark Registration (TM-A): End-to-end trademark filing across relevant Nice Classification classes covering your brand name, logo, tagline, and product names — with proactive management of TM examiner objections and third-party oppositions.
Copyright Registration: Registration of your software source code, mobile application UI, website design, technical documentation, and creative works under the Copyright Act, 1957 — establishing a timestamp of original authorship.

Compliance

Document Management

Investors spend weeks in due diligence because founders can't locate their incorporation documents, share certificates, board resolutions, or signed agreements. Our Document Management module organises, stores, and version-controls every critical document your startup will you audit-ready and investor-ready at all times.

Key Deliverables
Smart Auto-Categorisation: Uploaded documents are automatically tagged and routed to the correct folder — Incorporation Documents, Board Resolutions, Shareholder Agreements, HR Contracts, Tax Filings, or Vendor Agreements — with zero manual sorting.
Version Control & Audit Trail: Every document upload, edit, and share creates an immutable audit trail with timestamps and user attribution — critical for defending document authenticity during legal disputes or regulatory inspections.

Compliance

Legal Agreements

Understand, draft, and manage the essential legal agreements your startup needs to protect intellectual property, onboard employees, secure capital, and scale commercially. Access state-specific stamp duty guidelines and pre-vetted legal templates.

Key Deliverables
21 Core Templates: Access a repository of pre-vetted contracts covering founders, investors, employment, vendor sales, and IP assignments.
Stamp Duty Calculator: Find specific, up-to-date stamp duty rates across major Indian states like Karnataka, Maharashtra, and Delhi to ensure court admissibility.

Pitch to Investors

The average VC spends 3 minutes and 44 seconds on a pitch deck. In that window, your slides must communicate market size, business model, traction, and team credibility with absolute clarity. We give you the battle-tested frameworks, financial models, and narrative structures used by startups that have collectively raised over ₹500 Crore.

Key Deliverables
Investor-Grade Deck Templates: Slide-by-slide pitch deck structures modelled on frameworks from top YC, Sequoia, and Lightspeed-backed companies — covering problem, solution, TAM, business model, traction, team, and ask.
Financial Projections & Models: 3-year P&L, revenue waterfall, and cohort-based LTV/CAC models built in Excel/Sheets that withstand the most rigorous CFO-level scrutiny during partner meetings.

Find Investors

Cold emails to VCs convert at under 0.3%. The most funded startups in India raised their rounds through targeted outreach to the right investors, at the right stage, with the right ticket size — often via warm introductions. We give you the infrastructure to fundraise like a pro, not a first-timer.

Key Deliverables
Stage & Sector Investor Matching: Access our curated, continuously updated database of 500+ active angels, syndicates, family offices, and institutional VCs — filtered by stage (Pre-Seed to Series B), sector, average ticket size, and portfolio preference.
Warm Introduction Network: Leverage our network of portfolio founders, CA advisors, and accelerator alumni for warm introductions to partner-level decision makers at top-tier funds — bypassing the cold inbox entirely.

Raise Before a Round

When an angel investor says 'I'm in,' you have a 72-hour window before their conviction fades. Traditional equity rounds take 2–3 months to close. SAFEs and CCPS let you receive capital in days by deferring the valuation conversation to your next priced round — keeping momentum without diluting your cap table prematurely.

Key Deliverables
iSAFE Document Generation: Instant generation of India-standard SAFE (Simple Agreement for Future Equity) documents — legally reviewed, MCA-compliant, and structured to convert cleanly at your next priced Seed or Series A round.
CCPS Structuring & Issuance: Expert structuring of Compulsorily Convertible Preference Shares for bridge rounds requiring RBI-compliant foreign investment — with complete PAS-3 and Form FC-GPR filings handled post-allotment.

Raise

Do a Funding Round

A priced equity round involves a minimum of 12 legal documents, 4 board resolutions, 2 EGM filings, 1 ROC allotment form, and coordination between your lawyers, the investor's lawyers, and the company secretarial team. One error in a SHA clause or a missed PAS-3 deadline can freeze your round mid-close. We run the entire process so you can focus on closing.

Key Deliverables
Valuation, Cap Table & ESOP Pool: Pre-money valuation validation, share price calculation, ESOP pool top-up modelling, and full cap table reconstruction post-round — ensuring every shareholder's dilution is calculated and disclosed correctly.
Term Sheet, SHA & SSA Drafting: Generation and redlining of the complete documentation suite: Term Sheet, Shareholders Agreement (SHA), Share Subscription Agreement (SSA), and Restated Charter documents — with founder-friendly defaults as the baseline.

Raise

Finance for Fundraising

Institutional investors run three parallel tracks during due diligence: legal, technical, and financial. The financial track is the most common deal-killer. Restated financials, missing GST returns, incorrect TDS compliance, inflated revenue recognition, or an invalid valuation report can trigger a repricing demand, a delayed closing, or a full deal withdrawal.

Key Deliverables
IBBI Registered Valuation Report: Mandatory valuation report from a SEBI/IBBI-registered valuer — required by the Companies Act for any private placement and by FEMA regulations for any round involving foreign investment from non-resident investors.
Financial Due Diligence Audit: Comprehensive pre-DD audit of your books, revenue recognition policies, related-party transactions, vendor contracts, tax filings, and pending statutory dues — identifying and resolving issues before the investor's CA finds them.

Legal Advice for a Round

VCs negotiate term sheets every week. Most first-time founders see their first term sheet on the day it arrives. The power asymmetry is enormous. A single aggressive clause — a 2x participating liquidation preference, a full-ratchet anti-dilution, or a drag-along without a carve-out — can hand institutional investors control of your exit at the exact moment you should be celebrating.

Key Deliverables
Term Sheet Redlining & Analysis: Clause-by-clause review of your term sheet with plain-English explanations of every investor right, preference, and protection — and a redlined version that pushes back on the 5–8 clauses that are almost always negotiable.
Vesting & Lock-in Optimisation: Structuring of promoter reverse vesting, cliff periods, good-leaver and bad-leaver definitions, and acceleration provisions so that founders are protected in both acquisition and termination scenarios.

Instant Investment

Investor conviction has a half-life. The longer the gap between 'I'm interested' and signed documents, the greater the chance of a change of heart, a competing deal, or a market shift. Instant Investment compresses the entire investment closing process into a single business day — from document generation to e-signature to share allotment notification.

Key Deliverables
Instant SSA Generation: Input the investment amount, pre-money valuation, and investor name — our system generates a complete, legally reviewed Share Subscription Agreement (SSA) and board resolution package within minutes.
Aadhaar-Based E-Signature: Both founder and investor execute documents digitally via legally valid Aadhaar OTP-based e-signatures — eliminating physical signing ceremonies, couriered documents, and wet-ink delays entirely.
