| | | | Ascentium, a leading global business services platform headquartered in Singapore, has completed its acquisition of Dezan Shira & Associates, a multi-disciplinary professional services firm with more than three decades of experience advising foreign investors across Asia. | | | | | Liaison Offices (LOs) in India must follow the FY 2026-27 compliance calendar covering the labor codes and new income tax framework. Key requirements include RBI/FEMA reporting, quarterly TDS filings, and compliance with state-specific Shops & Establishments Act provisions. | | | | | India is emerging as a strong entry point for Danish businesses, offering easier export access under the India–EU FTA and the ability to build and scale manufacturing locally. For Danish firms, the opportunity goes beyond sales as India can serve as a production base and export hub as supply chains shift. | | | | | India and Sweden are stepping up collaboration through a new AI and innovation corridor connecting startups, industry, and research to drive joint technology development and investment. Backed by the India–EU FTA, the partnership positions India as a scale market and Sweden as an innovation partner in sectors like AI, telecom, and advanced manufacturing. | | | | | India’s Ministry of Corporate Affairs (MCA) has launched a lifecycle-based overhaul of the Companies Act, 2013, to digitize and simplify filings via MCA21 V3, inviting stakeholder feedback by May 15, 2026. | | | | | India has extended the honey export price floor (MEP) through 2026, aiming to support domestic producers and maintain pricing discipline globally. With demand rising amid global supply disruptions, the move shifts focus from low-cost exports to higher-value opportunities. |
