GLOBAL PRESENCE
India-Based Advisory with an International Business Perspective
RASHA supports business requirements that extend across India and international markets, combining India-focused advisory understanding with a connected approach to cross-border business, market entry and expansion.
GLOBAL BUSINESS CONTEXT
Business decisions increasingly cross borders
Businesses may need to establish operations in India, work with overseas stakeholders, evaluate international opportunities, structure investments, manage cross-border transactions or expand from India into other markets.
These requirements often involve more than one discipline. Commercial objectives may need to be considered alongside corporate structure, taxation, finance, regulatory requirements, documentation, foreign exchange considerations and local market conditions.
RASHA’s international business approach is designed to help clients identify the relevant requirements, coordinate the appropriate workstreams and move from an initial business objective toward a structured action plan.
PRESENCE & CONNECTIVITY
Two directions of international business support
The international business requirement may begin in India or outside India. The advisory path is shaped around the transaction, business model, destination or source jurisdiction and the specific regulatory context.

- Regulatory and compliance coordination
- Financial, tax and documentation workstreams
- Project and operational setup considerations
International Expansion from India
Support for Indian businesses assessing overseas opportunities, expansion structures and cross-border business requirements.
- International market-entry planning
- Cross-border structuring considerations
- Foreign subsidiary and joint-venture considerations
- Export and international business setup
- Coordination of finance and regulatory workstreams
