How a European pharma group captured ₹310 crore in PLI incentives their advisors said they didn't qualify for

A European pharmaceutical manufacturer approached Foremark after their existing advisory team told them their API manufacturing operation would not qualify for the PLI scheme due to revenue thresholds. Foremark's Country Director reviewed the proposed structure and identified a legitimate restructuring of the investment phasing that brought the company within qualifying parameters — without changing the fundamental business plan.

A $2.1B fund manager chose ADGM over DIFC — and why the decision saved $4.2M in structuring costs

A North American alternative asset manager had provisionally decided on DIFC for their Dubai office, based on conversations with a global law firm. Foremark's Starter Report identified that their specific fund structure — a private credit vehicle targeting Gulf sovereign capital — qualified for ADGM's framework at materially lower regulatory cost and with more favourable licensing conditions for their strategy.

How a UK SaaS company used EDB Pioneer Status to reduce its Singapore effective tax rate from 17% to 5% for seven years

A UK-headquartered enterprise software company had already decided to enter Singapore when they engaged Foremark. Their existing corporate advisors had not identified EDB Pioneer Status as an option — assuming the company was too small to qualify. Foremark's Singapore Country Director negotiated a Pioneer Status approval with EDB, citing the company's ASEAN expansion plans and planned headcount growth to qualify under the Regional HQ criteria.

A US enterprise software company opened a 300-person GCC in Hyderabad in 74 days — including STPI registration and banking

A US-headquartered enterprise software company needed to establish a Global Capability Centre in India to support their APAC product development function. Their internal estimate for the establishment timeline was 12–18 months. Foremark ran all workstreams simultaneously — ROC registration, STPI registration, banking, employment contracts, and the office setup — completing the full establishment in 74 days.

How a German clean energy company structured its India entry to access both national and state renewable incentives simultaneously

A German solar and battery storage company was entering India to bid on state renewable procurement contracts. Their challenge was structuring the entity to qualify for both national-level incentives under the PM Surya Ghar scheme and state-level procurement preferences simultaneously — a combination most advisors said was not achievable due to local content requirements. Foremark designed a structure that satisfied both.
