Every business is born from an idea. An idea that aims to provide something different, something unique. A monetizable solution to a problem that people are willing to pay for. But only a few business ideas make it past the first phase – Becoming real.
Over 99% of business ideas never get past that barrier. But if you’ve made it this far, you are in that 1% willing to take the next step and move forward.
Registrations are a core part of what we do here at Mukunda Shiva and Associates. Businesses come in all shapes and sizes. From sole proprietorships to Private Limited Companies. But they’re all made official after registration.

That’s where we come in.

Leave the complex procedures to us. We’ve been doing it for 20 years and we can seamlessly take care of it for you.
