GR60 · GLOBAL READINESS FRAMEWORK
Global-Ready
in 60 days.
No FEMA surprises. No blocked deals. No guesswork.
Singapore or Dubai? Delaware or the UK? Most Indian founders only confront FEMA / ODI approvals, transfer pricing and DTAA positioning after a fundraise, an overseas move, or a diligence process has already exposed the gaps. This session shows you what to fix before that happens.
- Know exactly which jurisdiction — Singapore, Dubai, Delaware or the UK — fits your customers, investors and stage
- Spot FEMA / ODI, transfer-pricing and compliance gaps before they turn into an ED notice or a blocked deal
- Build the readiness that shows up as pricing power now — and as days-not-months diligence at your next fundraise or exit

The Real Problem
Your ambition is global.
Is your structure?
Going global isn’t just an entity-registration exercise. The wrong structure can cost you pricing power, create avoidable tax exposure, delay a fundraise, and turn a clean exit into months of diligence.
01
You have global demand — but an unstructured entity still makes you look, and get priced, like a local vendor.
02
You're choosing between Singapore, Dubai, Delaware and the UK without a decision framework tied to your customers and investors.
03
One missed FEMA / ODI filing, or a step-down subsidiary nobody reported, can block your next overseas deal outright.
04
You're growing across borders, but transfer pricing, DTAA positioning and compliance are growing faster than your systems can track.
IF THEY CAN GET HIT, SO CAN YOU
Real founders.
Real family businesses.
Real structuring mistakes.
These aren’t hypothetical warnings. These are real enforcement actions — and none of them started as a business problem.
ED ALERT Economic Times · 2026
ED Summons Indians Over Dubai Property Bought via Credit Card, EMI
the down payment plan was the violation
Buyers who booked Dubai property with an international credit card are being asked to explain their source of funds. Regulators say card-based payments skip the LRS banking route required for overseas property deals.

Companies with unresolved ODI reporting lapses must clear them before any new overseas investment. Even starting the compounding process no longer keeps future deals open — full closure is required.
TWO KINDS OF FOUNDERS IN THIS ROOM
Wherever you are on this map —
this session fixes it.
SEGMENT A
"I haven't set up yet."
You’re thinking about going global — or should be — and the uncertainty itself is what’s stopping you.
- Worried about POEM — will my structure get deemed Indian anyway?
- Confused about transfer pricing before you've even transacted
- Don't know if FEMA / RBI approval even applies to your situation
- Stuck choosing between Singapore, Dubai, Delaware, UK
SEGMENT B
"I've already set one up."
You’re thinking about going global — or should be — and the uncertainty itself is what’s stopping you.
- Not sure if your APR / FLA / Form FC filings are actually current
- Never checked if your structure creates POEM or PE risk
- Layered in a step-down subsidiary without reporting it properly
- Growing fast — and the compliance gap is growing right along with it
WHY BUSINESSES SHOULD GO GLOBAL
Different starting points.
Same global advantage.
Wealth doesn’t come from working harder. It comes from where you’re standing when you sell.
FOR THE FUNDED STARTUP
"Investors already expect this."
Series A+ diligence moves faster the moment your structure already matches the pattern global investors expect.
- A cap table and holding structure investors already recognize
- Faster international fundraising and smoother follow-on rounds
- Clean IP ownership makes acquirers comfortable from day one
- Access to international banking, ESOPs, and payment rails
FOR THE HYPER-GROWTH MSME / SME
"Wealth follows where you stand."
The very same product earns a different price the moment a global entity — not an Indian vendor — sells it.
- Global customers pay a premium to a "global brand," not an outsourcer
- Direct access to global buyers and suppliers, with fewer middlemen
- Easier repatriation and treasury spread across currencies
- Less dependence on India-only market and policy cycles
Different starting points — funded startup or hyper-growth MSME. Same conclusion: the world pays for structure, not just product.
REASONS STOPPING YOU GOING GLOBAL
None of these are reasons.
They're just questions.
THE COMPLIANCE WORRIES
"Will I get this wrong?"
The fear isn’t going global — it’s not knowing which rule you might be breaking without realizing it.
- Not sure if FEMA or RBI approval even applies to you
- Worried a foreign structure quietly creates POEM exposure
- Confused about transfer pricing before you've even transacted
- Scared of getting taxed twice with no way to fix it later
THE PRACTICAL WORRIES
"Is this even worth it yet?"
The hesitation isn’t ambition — it’s not knowing where to even start, or who to trust to tell you straight.
- Don't know which country actually fits your business
- Assume it's only for companies "bigger" than yours right now
- Your CA said you don't need it yet — so nobody ever revisited it
- Assume the compliance and cost will outweigh the benefit
None of these are reasons you can’t go global. They’re just questions nobody’s answered for you yet.

BEFORE WE GO GLOBAL
Four ideas every global founder must know.
You don’t need to become a tax expert. But every founder building a global structure will run into these four ideas — in a diligence call, an ED notice, or a lawyer’s email. Know them before someone else has to explain them to you the hard way.
1
CROSS-BORDER TAXATION
Two countries can both claim the right to tax the same income.
2
DTAA
The treaty that decides who taxes first — and stops you paying twice.
3
TRANSFER PRICING
The price you charge your own foreign company must be fair, not friendly.
4
POEM
Your foreign company is only foreign if it’s genuinely run from abroad.
✚ A fifth idea — GAAR — sits above all four, testing whether the whole structure has real business substance. More on that inside the session.
WHAT YOU WILL LEARN
The Global Readiness Framework — built around 6 pillars.
Not “set up a company and hope for the best.” A practical framework for the decisions that make a business genuinely ready to operate, raise and exit globally.
01
Entity & Jurisdiction Design
Match Singapore, Dubai, Delaware, the UK or another jurisdiction to your customers, investors, stage and long-term exit plan.
→ Choose the right base before you scale
02
FEMA / ODI Compliance Engine
Understand the approvals, filings, reporting trails and step-down subsidiary issues that can quietly derail overseas expansion.
→ Stop one old filing blocking the next deal
03
Transfer Pricing Documentation
Build the intercompany logic, arm’s-length position and Form 3CEB documentation your cross-border structure will need as it scales.
→ Defend the economics before audit day
04
Tax Treaty / DTAA Optimization
Understand how treaty positions, entity location and the flow of income work together — so you never pay tax twice on the same rupee.
→ Design for tax efficiency, legally
05
Global Compliance Calendar + Fundraise & Exit Readiness
One compliance calendar across every jurisdiction, plus a structure built for fundraising, acquisition and exit diligence — so the business is ready before the opportunity arrives.
→ Make diligence faster when the moment comes
This is the exact framework TMG builds inside businesses through the Global Structure Health Check.

FAQ
Quick answers.
Who is this masterclass for?
Serious Indian MSME business owners, funded startups from Pre-Series A to Series B, and founders already operating internationally who want a clearer, cleaner global structure.
Is this about simply setting up a company overseas?
No. Incorporating a foreign entity is the easy part. This session is about the decisions around it — jurisdiction fit, FEMA / ODI compliance, transfer pricing, DTAA positioning and exit readiness — that determine whether that entity actually protects and grows your business.
What if I have already set up a foreign company?
Good — this session is built for you too. You’ll get a framework to check whether your existing structure creates POEM or permanent-establishment risk, and whether your APR, FLA and Form FC filings are actually current.
How long is it?
60 minutes, live — 15 minutes on why structure changes pricing and exit outcomes, 30 minutes on the 6-pillar Global Readiness Framework, and 15 minutes of live Q&A with Alok.
What does this webinar include?
Live access to the complete 60-minute session — the 6-pillar Global Readiness Framework, real enforcement case studies, and a live Q&A with Alok Patnia.
Do I need to know tax or FEMA already?
No. The framework is built for founders, not compliance officers — every concept is explained in decision terms: what to choose, what to check, and what to fix.
What will I walk away with?
Clarity on which jurisdiction fits your business, a checklist of the FEMA / ODI and compliance gaps most founders miss, and a clear next step — whether that’s a deeper structure review or the confidence that you’re already covered.
One structure.
Every market.
Global readiness.
The framework to build a global structure before growth makes the gaps expensive.
