About SCPL

Twenty years of getting
things done in India.

Scinnovation Consultants Pvt. Ltd. (SCPL) was founded in Mumbai in 2005. We began with intellectual property and R&D advisory, and grew into what European companies actually need on the ground in India — incentives, state selection, licences, compliance and the government relationships that make them move.

“European companies rarely fail in India on strategy. They lose time on the paperwork nobody warned them about.”

Rajeev Surana · Founder
Who we are

A consulting firm built around the Indian state, not around a template

India’s central government sets the direction. Its states decide what actually happens — the land, the power tariff, the labour rules, the incentive package and how long your clearances take. Most of our work sits at that state level, where the difference between a good decision and a default one is measured in years and crores.

We work with European manufacturers, technology firms, chambers of commerce and public agencies who want a partner that has already sat on the other side of the table. We are members of the Indo-German, Indo-French and Indo-Italian business communities, and we work alongside CII and FICCI on policy and industry programmes.

Headquartered in South Mumbai, with offices in New Delhi and associates in Pune, Ahmedabad, Chennai and Cochin — and a partner in Spain giving European clients a contact in their own time zone.

What we do for European businesses

Six services that cover the distance between a board decision and a working Indian entity

State selection

A shortlist of three states scored against your sector, logistics, talent, power cost and incentive value — with the trade-offs written down, not hidden.

Incentives & subsidy

Capital subsidy, SGST reimbursement, power tariff and interest subvention — identified, negotiated as a customised package where the size of the investment allows, and claimed.

Entity setup

Subsidiary, branch, LLP or joint venture — incorporation, FEMA and RBI filings, PAN, TAN, GST and banking, run end to end.

Licences & compliance

Factory licence, pollution board consents, fire NOC, building approvals and occupancy — the operational layer that delays most first-time entrants.

R&D, DSIR & IP

Structuring an Indian R&D centre for DSIR recognition, and protecting the technology you bring with you — patents, trademarks, designs and trade secrets.

Due diligence

On the JV partner, the distributor, the acquisition target or the land parcel — before the term sheet, not after.

Full engagement
EU India Entry

All six services run as one programme, for European companies establishing in India from scratch — state selection through to a licensed, operating entity with its incentive claims filed.
