A practice built around cross-border complexity
Richa Kumar & Associates is a boutique company secretarial practice founded in 2012, built specifically around the compliance problems that arise where Indian corporate law meets foreign investment, foreign ownership and cross-border transactions.
The practice advises startups navigating their first round of foreign funding, SMEs formalising governance as they scale, listed companies managing ongoing statutory obligations, and MNCs setting up or restructuring their Indian presence — with FEMA and RBI compliance as the connecting thread across all four.
Beyond FEMA/RBI advisory, the firm handles ROC and MCA filings, FDI structuring, SEBI advisory, NCLT matters, and works closely with founders and investors through the compliance side of fundraising and structuring decisions.
