- We are in consulting Non-IT services.
- We picked India because 50% of employees are Indians moved to US from India. Does anybody on this board has any idea/experience how to go about it?

Its quite easy. U need to register a company though if you want to transfer money officially in any foreign currency to the branch office, since transfer of money by foreigners to any entity in India is restricted. A company is OK; else you would need to go through channels such as Western Union whereby the money would have to be transferred to an individual. Any money transfer beyond US$ 5000 to an individual has to be reported to the Government (to prevent using India as a conduit for money laundering). Most equipment is locally available and quite cheap. Communications facilities (broadband) are available in most large cities and very inexpensive. Establishing a company takes about a month or so and should be done thru a local Chartered Accountant (Financial Advisor). The equity outlay for setting up a company can be as low as US$ 2500/- + fees for the Financial Advisor, etc. Cheers

Thanks Ashwin!
Could you please break up $2500?
I found out that I need to register with ROC (registry of Companies) if the office space in not in EPZ. Also with STPI to get export/import exemptions.
Any info that you have on this topic please pass it on..
