Incorporation in GIFT City: A New Chapter for Our Investment Company Our company is proud to announce its incorporation in Gujarat International Finance Tec-City (GIFT City), India's premier global financial hub. As an investment firm, we are dedicated to creating value-added investments and generating alpha on our capital. Our presence in GIFT City provides us with a strategic advantage, allowing us to optimize our financial structures, leverage regulatory benefits, and enhance operational efficiencies to drive sustainable growth. Why GIFT City? GIFT City is India's first International Financial Services Centre (IFSC), offering a world-class financial ecosystem with regulatory support that aligns with global standards. Its establishment as a business-friendly environment makes it the ideal destination for investment firms like ours, aiming to maximize capital efficiency and gain access to international financial markets. By setting up in GIFT City, we align ourselves with a forward-looking financial jurisdiction that fosters innovation, transparency, and operational excellence. The city's infrastructure, regulatory framework, and financial incentives create a compelling case for companies seeking to establish a global footprint. Key Benefits of Incorporating in GIFT City 1. Corporate Tax Benefits One of the most significant advantages of operating in GIFT City is the corporate tax incentives. Companies incorporated here enjoy a 100% tax exemption on profits for the first 10 years, making it one of the most attractive financial zones in Asia. This allows us to reinvest more capital into high-value opportunities and further enhance our portfolio. 2. Regulatory Efficiency GIFT City operates under a single-window clearance system, reducing bureaucratic hurdles and expediting approvals. The regulatory framework, overseen by the International Financial Services Centres Authority (IFSCA), ensures ease of doing business while maintaining international compliance standards. This enables us to execute sophisticated investment strategies with agility and precision. 3. Access to Global Markets Being in an IFSC allows us direct access to international markets without the constraints of domestic financial regulations. GIFT City provides a gateway for cross-border investments, capital raising, and offshore financial services, making it a powerful hub for multinational investment firms like ours. 4. Currency and Capital Flow Flexibility Unlike traditional Indian financial jurisdictions, GIFT City permits transactions in foreign currencies, eliminating foreign exchange risks associated with INR volatility. This gives us the flexibility to structure our investments efficiently and optimize capital deployment across global markets. 5. State-of-the-Art Infrastructure GIFT City is equipped with cutting-edge infrastructure, including high-end office spaces, robust digital connectivity, and a smart city framework. This enhances operational efficiency and supports seamless execution of complex investment strategies. 6. No Securities Transaction Tax (STT) and Commodities Transaction Tax (CTT) GIFT City entities are exempt from STT, CTT, and other transaction levies, significantly reducing the cost of trading and boosting overall profitability. Future Vision With our incorporation in GIFT City, we are poised to scale our investment operations, leverage regulatory advantages, and create high-value opportunities across multiple asset classes. Our commitment to generating superior returns and managing risk prudently remains steadfast, and GIFT City's robust financial ecosystem serves as the perfect platform to achieve these objectives. As we embark on this new chapter, we look forward to harnessing the benefits of GIFT City to expand our global presence and continue delivering alpha for our stakeholders. Our journey in this premier financial hub marks the beginning of a transformative era, redefining investment excellence and innovation in the financial sector.
