    Why it matters

    Bad corporate hygiene compounds silently. Missing IP assignment deeds, sloppy founder agreements, unfiled FCGPR, and the wrong jurisdiction at incorporation cost founders 6–12 months and crores at the exit table.

    Scope covered

    Charter documents review (MoA / AoA / SHA / SSA)
    Founder agreements + reverse vesting + IP assignment
    Employee IP & invention-assignment deeds (all employees, all contractors)
    FEMA / ODI / RBI compliance (FCGPR, FLA, APR filings)
    Cross-border structuring (India HoldCo vs Singapore vs Delaware vs GIFT-IFSC)
    Round-readiness flip evaluation (Singapore-flip vs Delaware-flip)
    Patents / trademarks / copyrights register
    Open-source license audit (GPL / AGPL exposure)
    Material contracts review (top customers, vendors, partners)
