GIFT City & Global Routes
For Non-Resident Indians, we unlock India’s growth story through seamless, optimally repatriable, tax-optimised investment routes. We also enable Resident Indians to invest globally via LRS funds.
Capital moves in two directions today — NRIs re-entering India’s growth story, and resident Indians diversifying abroad. Both routes exist because of specific regulatory windows: GIFT City’s IFSC framework on one side, the Liberalised Remittance Scheme on the other. We treat each as a structured route, not a one-off transaction.

GIFT City IFSC Entry
Capital enters through India's International Financial Services Centre — a regulated gateway purpose-built for cross-border investment, with its own tax and compliance framework distinct from mainland India.
Regulatory Window, Not a Loophole
GIFT City and LRS are both official, RBI/IFSCA-governed frameworks — we work within them, not around them.
Repatriation Planned Upfront
Exit and repatriation terms are structured before entry, not figured out under pressure when you need liquidity.
One Advisor, Both Directions
Most families need both routes eventually. We coordinate them as one plan instead of two disconnected relationships.
This pillar is frequently paired with our Global Residency & Citizenship pillar for families formalising a move abroad, and with Equities & Real Estate once global allocation needs to sit alongside a domestic portfolio.
