Resident Director Service — Requirement met. Risk managed.
An advisory and sourcing service for foreign-owned Indian companies that need to satisfy the resident director requirement without creating an unmanaged governance exposure.
Book Free ConsultationEvery Indian company must have at least one director who satisfies the residency requirement. For a foreign group with no one on the ground, that requirement becomes an immediate obstacle at incorporation and a continuing one afterwards.
N D Savla & Associates advises on how to meet the requirement properly — identifying whether an existing group employee qualifies, structuring the appointment, and putting the safeguards in place that protect both the company and the individual.
We treat this as a governance engagement, not a name-lending exercise. A director carries real statutory duties and personal liability, and any arrangement that ignores that fact is a problem waiting for its first notice.
