Fixing the Broken Way Businesses Are Set Up and Run in India

Introduction: The Reality Founders Don’t Talk About

From years of working closely with business owners and founders in India and abroad, one pattern shows up consistently:

Founders do not want to understand Indian laws.
They just want their India business to work — correctly.

Whether it’s:

• A first-time Indian founder, or
• A US / global company setting up an Indian subsidiary
  
  

Most founders:

• Don’t want to read FEMA, MCA, GST, or labour laws

• Aren’t keen on cross-checking consultants

• Rely fully on “someone recommended”

• Assume everything will be taken care of

And honestly — that’s reasonable.
But this is where the real problem starts.

The Harsh Truth: Responsibility Never Belongs to the Consultant

In India, consultants advise and execute - but accountability always stays with the founder.

When something goes wrong:

• A filing is missed

• A wrong structure is chosen

• A compliance is misunderstood

• A bank rejects a submission

• An audit raises observations

The consultant doesn’t carry the liability.
The founder does.

This is when founders realize something important:

You may not want to learn Indian laws —
but you must be informed enough to take ownership.

Knowledge is not about becoming a CA or lawyer.
It’s about knowing what is happening, why it’s happening, and what comes next.

The Second Problem: India Setup Is Fragmented by Design

Once founders cross incorporation, the chaos truly begins.

A typical journey looks like this:

• One consultant for company incorporation
• Another for licenses and registrations
• A CA for accounting
• Someone else for GST
• A payroll tool + another payroll consultant
• Spreadsheets, emails, WhatsApp threads everywhere
  
  

Each step:

• Uses a different app
• Has no shared context
• Has no single source of truth]
• Has no continuity

Founders are left to coordinate, follow up, track, and connect the dots.

This is not a capability problem.
It’s a system problem.

What Founders Actually Need (But Don’t Get)

Founders don’t need:

• More consultants

• More tools

• More PDFs and email threads
  
  

They need:

• One place to see what is happening

• Clear stages and workflows

• Structured document management

• Context-aware answers to questions

• Confidence that nothing is falling through the cracks
  
  

In short: One app. One team. One place to look.

Why Entriesone Was Built

Entriesone exists to solve these exact two problems:

1. Lack of founder visibility & ownership
2. Fragmented consultants, tools, and workflows

We didn’t build Entriesone as “another service provider”.
We built it as an incorporation-led operating platform for startups and businesses.

What Makes Entriesone Different

Incorporation Is the Starting Point — Not the End

Entriesone starts with incorporation, but everything after that is planned, structured, and visible:

• Licenses

• GST

• Accounting

• Payroll

• Compliance

• Ongoing filings
  
  

One App With Structured Workflows

Every service runs through:

• Defined stages

• Checklists

• Clear next steps
  
  

You always know:

• What’s pending

• What’s in progress

• What’s completed
  
  

Collaboration, Not Chaos

Inside one workspace:

• Documents

• Chat

• To-dos

• Templates

• Audit trail

No searching across emails, WhatsApp, or shared drives.

AI-Assisted, Context-Aware Support

Founders often ask:

• “Why is this needed?”

• “What happens if this is delayed?”

• “Is this applicable to me?”
  
  

Entriesone provides:

• AI-assisted, context-specific answers

• Backed by real experts

• Not generic Google searches

So you stay informed without becoming an expert.

One Team, Single Accountability

• No hand-offs

• No “talk to another consultant”

• No finger-pointing

One team owns the journey — end to end.

What This Means for Founders

With Entriesone:

• You don’t need to learn Indian laws deeply

• You don’t need to manage multiple vendors

• You don’t need to chase updates

But you do stay informed, in control, and confident.
That’s the balance founders actually want.

The Core Belief Behind Entriesone

Founders should focus on building businesses —
not managing compliance chaos.

But: Founders should never operate blindly.

Entriesone gives you:

• Visibility without overload

• Control without complexity

• Confidence without chaos

Final Thought

Setting up and running a business in India doesn’t fail because founders are careless.
It fails because the system is fragmented, opaque, and consultant-driven.

Entriesone is our attempt to fix that system.
