Holding structure, FEMA/ODI pathway, treaty-aware repatriation, and investor-readiness – pressure-tested by senior partners. Advisory only.
This service is offered by NirjiX, the operator-led consulting and execution business of Nirji Ventures.
Contact NirjiXCross-border capital raises fail in diligence more often than in the pitch – through the wrong holding jurisdiction, broken FEMA/ODI/FDI mechanics, treaty positions that don't survive substance review, or a data room that buckles under a senior partner's questions. Nirji's Cross-Border Fundraising Advisory is led by ICAI-qualified Chartered Accountants operating from Singapore, with direct working knowledge of Singapore corporate and tax frameworks alongside the full Indian regulatory stack – FEMA, RBI, the ODI/FDI rules, the Income Tax Act, and the Companies Act. We design the holding structure, map the regulatory pathway, structure ESOP and repatriation, and pressure-test investor-readiness. We do not solicit, place, or introduce capital, do not maintain investor rosters, and do not charge placement or success fees – investor outreach is regulated activity in Singapore for which we are not licensed; founders run their own process.
No. Nirji is an advisory firm. We provide structuring, regulatory, tax, and investor-readiness advisory only. We do not solicit investors, do not introduce or place capital, do not maintain a roster of investors we shop deals to, and do not charge placement or success fees.
It depends on where your operating revenue, IP, and target investors sit. Singapore is generally efficient for Asia-centric raises with Indian operating subsidiaries given the Singapore-India treaty. Delaware is the default for US institutional rounds. Cayman is common where you need investor-jurisdiction neutrality. We deliver this as a written decision memo grounded in your sector economics and exit thesis.
Overseas Direct Investment rules govern outbound capital flows from Indian residents into foreign entities. If an Indian founder, holding company, or operating subsidiary is investing into a foreign vehicle, the ODI framework under the Foreign Exchange Management (Overseas Investment) Rules and Regulations 2022 typically applies – covering permissible structures, Form FC and APR reporting, and round-tripping prohibitions.
Often, yes – for the founders and Indian shareholders whose Indian shares are exchanged for foreign-parent shares. The position depends on share-swap mechanics, holding period, and applicable treaty relief. We model the cash and tax cost transparently in the Strategic Sprint and structure within the rules – we do not promise a zero-tax outcome.
No. Investor identification, outreach, pitching, and negotiation sit with the founder and, where engaged, a licensed placement agent or banker. Our role is to make sure the structure, diligence pack, and governance hold up to senior scrutiny when an investor turns serious.
