India remains to be one of the most promising markets for global business. With a robust digital economy, reforms led by the government, and a vibrant entrepreneurial ecosystem, foreign investors are increasingly considering India as a long-term growth market.

At Juris Tax, we assist international clients in navigating cross-border opportunities. If you’re curious about whether foreigners can establish a business in India, the response is yes, and we are here to assist you with well-informed choices supported by market statistics and proven strategies.

Why Foreigners Are Eyeing India

India is projected to surpass Japan and become the fourth-largest economy in 2025, with a GDP of $4.187 trillion (IMF). It also boasts one of the world’s youngest labour forces and a fast-growing middle class. All this alone makes it the perfect place for global expansion.

In the past five years alone, more than 339 foreign businesses have registered in India, and more than 5,200 foreign businesses have settled in India up to this point. This is a strong signal that worldwide confidence in India’s business environment is increasing steadily.

Where Are Foreign Businesses Setting Up?

Business Standard reported that more than 2.8 million companies have been registered in India, and 65% of them are active. There is a preference for many foreign companies to start up in states such as Maharashtra, Karnataka, Delhi, and Tamil Nadu, as these have improved infrastructure, logistics, physical infrastructure, and human capital.

In this regard, we have offered our services to clients in the manufacturing, IT, Fintech, and consulting industries, recommending the most appropriate region to the companies. Qualified staff, long-term sustainability, and economic efficiency can depend on the location of an office.

India’s Startups Are Leading the Way

India is home to the third-largest startup ecosystem globally after the U.S.A. and China. This information is acknowledged by the Department for Promotion of Industry and Internal Trade (DPIIT). Initiated in 2016 called ‘Startups India’ the Indian government has seen a massive influx of new-age startups.

India, in particular, has more than 118 unicorns, companies worth over $100 billion, and more than 100,000 startups that are registered under the Startups India scheme as of 2025. Foreign investors are aggressively taking part in the boom either by building new firms or investing in existing firms.

We provide end-to-end assistance for international investors interested in joining this fast-growing startup India revolution. As an entrepreneur seeking to catch this wave of innovation, India may be your next opportunity.

What Foreign Investors Should Know (Without the Paperwork Details)

We are frequently asked: Can foreigners register a firm in India? Yes. 100% foreign direct investment (FDI) is permitted in most industries by India, particularly under the automatic route, where no government permission is needed in most cases.

Yet, knowing what sectors come under automatic and government channels is necessary. For instance, industries such as real estate and multi-brand retail might have some restrictions. That is where our experience comes in handy. We take you through the regulatory environment, making sure your investments are in line with Indian law and set for long-term growth.

At Juris Tax, we also review your objectives to determine the proper business structure, whether it’s a private limited company, a subsidiary, or a liaison office. You don’t have to get overwhelmed by legalese; we make it easier and keep your goals at the forefront.
