Services
India needs investment and there are plenty of people and institutions willing to do that. But things are not moving in a very smooth manner. Reason is red tapism and lack of necessary knowhow. Here comes the role of ‘ASC Investment’. Under able leadership of our President Mr. Alok Sinha, ASC Investment is providing following services to investors willing to do business in India.
Match-Making for Joint Ventures
Today Government of India is inviting foreign investors with open arms. However, in most of the sectors Govt. policy allows investment only through partnership/joint venture with an Indian partner. For an investor, unknown to India, this is not an easy task. ASC Investment, having close association with Indian Corporates, is very effective in solving this problem. We are in touch with various Indian Companies ranging from small scale to medium as well as large scale companies who are interested in foreign collaborations. Some in terms of finance and others in terms of technical knowhow. We honestly bridge the distance between two sides.
Single Window Service for Investors
In recent years Government has taken lot of measures to ensure that the paper work and procedures for investors are limited, the procedures stiil remains a Herculean task, sometime even “repelling” the foreign investors who are scared of the system and complications. Infact His Excellency Mr. Yasukuni Enoki, Ambassodor of Japan to India has said in one of the conference jointly organised by Bhartiya Society and ASC, “Indian Legal System is very complex and therefore, to invest in India, we first appoint lawyers and then engineers.”
To make the investment in India hasslefree and a pleasant experience, ASC Investment has introduced the idea of Single Window Service. His Excellency Mr. Fransico Da Camara Santra Clara Gomes, Ambassdor of European Union to India appreciated Mr. Alok Sinha for this service. Under the concept of Single Window Service, we assist the investors at all stages of Government interaction. Our services starts with providing sector specific reports and suggestion on investment avenues and goes upto the finding of appropriate partner, registration of Company, taking regulatory approvals from different government authorities, information about Ministries / Departments of Government involved, Geographical location, Government incentives, State Government Incentives and other relevant points.
As the foreign investors may not be so well aware of the legal, technical as well as locational advantages / barriers, therefore, ASC also provide in hand information about various sectors and investment potential in India, if so desired by the investor. Besides specific queries and doubts would also be addressed as per the need.
