A2 Consultants

founded A2 Consultants in 2010 to work on that stage specifically. Over 24 years I have been wroking and worked as Finance Directors in subsidary companies of Deutsche Telekom Group and other European multinationals, have advised more than 30 multinationals from the US, UK, Germany, Europe, Singapore, the UAE and elsewhere on entering and operating in India.
What clients typically come to us with:
- Structures that quietly leak tax year after year
- Permanent establishment exposure nobody intended to create
- Cash trapped in India because repatriation was never planned for
- Compliance handled in fragments across four different advisors
- A GCC that cost more to build than it should have

What we actually do:
India entry structuring — subsidiary, LLP, branch, liaison or EOR, chosen against what you need at scale rather than what clears the registrar fastest.
FDI and FEMA — route determination, sectoral caps, Press Note 3 screening, FC-GPR and FC-TRS reporting, valuation and pricing compliance.
International tax and transfer pricing — permanent establishment risk, treaty access, Local File and Form 3CEB, master file and CbCR, APA and MAP representation, audit defence.
GCC setup — build-operate-transfer and direct models, city selection, cost-plus versus entrepreneurial structuring, GIFT City and SEZ.
Treasury and repatriation — dividend, royalty, buyback and service fee routes, ECB structuring, FX hedging, and what actually reaches the parent after tax.

We work with multinational corporations, mid-market global enterprises and GCC-focused organisations. Alongside Hyderabad, we operate from Representative offices in Frisco (Texas), Reading (UK) and Alicante (Spain), so clients have someone on both sides of the transaction.

If you are evaluating India — or already there and suspect the structure is working against you — I am happy to talk it through. First conversation is free and usually thirty minutes is enough to know whether there is a real problem.
