Indian businesses are buying, building and listing across Europe at a pace the corridor has never seen. Technology founders serve European clients from Bangalore and Pune, family groups acquire European brands, and the professional question arrives quickly: from what entity should Europe be faced?
Switzerland has been the quiet answer for decades. The Swiss India economic relationship is deep, the treaty is one of the oldest in the Swiss network, and a Swiss company gives Indian ownership a European standing that no offshore centre can imitate.
Switzerland and India have maintained a double taxation agreement since 1994, refined repeatedly since. Structured flows between the two countries rest on decades of settled practice.
For an Indian technology or services business, contracting through a Swiss entity changes how European procurement, banks and eventual acquirers read the group. It is the difference between a vendor and a counterpart.
Intellectual property, European subsidiaries and international contracts consolidate naturally at a Swiss holding level, with Swiss substance behind them from day one.
Seraama is a Zug based boutique founded by a UK qualified lawyer with twenty three years of international corporate experience. We form the Swiss company, provide the resident director and registered office that give it real substance, prepare the banking file and make the introduction. One firm, one standard, personally accountable for what we build.
We take a limited number of clients, principally from the Gulf, Asia, Africa and Latin America, and most arrive through professional referral. Fees are quoted in writing after a short consultation; we do not publish price lists, deliberately.
Indian residents and companies routinely establish foreign subsidiaries and holding structures under India's overseas investment framework. The Indian regulatory side sits with your Indian advisers; we build and maintain the Swiss side and coordinate between the two.
Often, but only with real substance behind it. IP that is developed, managed and defended from Switzerland is a defensible position with treaty supported royalty flows. IP parked in a letterbox is the profile tax authorities challenge first. We structure the difference.
Most Indian founders begin with a GmbH for its lower capital requirement and convert to an AG as the European business matures, a path Swiss law provides cleanly. Groups planning institutional investment or significant European contracts often start with the AG directly.
