Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) can unlock significant growth capital for Indian businesses, but the process involves regulatory nuance. Key points to know:
- Routes of investment — FDI can come through the automatic route or the government approval route, depending on the sector.
- FEMA/RBI compliance — investments must be reported and structured in line with FEMA and RBI guidelines.
- Investor readiness — a clear business plan, clean cap table, and transparent financials make a business more attractive to foreign investors.
- Structuring the deal — equity, convertible instruments, or joint ventures each carry different implications for control and compliance.
