Delhi-Specific Practical Example
Two founders in Delhi planned to launch an online platform connecting small retailers with local logistics providers.
One founder handled technology, while the other managed vendor partnerships. Both founders needed ownership rights and planned to approach investors after establishing market demand.
They selected a Private Limited Company, finalised their shareholding ratio, used a valid Delhi office address and prepared appropriate technology and logistics objects in the MOA. After incorporation, the contracts, platform and business bank account were maintained in the company’s name.
