🚀 From Idea to Incorporated in Just 7 Days — Gratitude Post
In the startup world, speed is everything.
But execution speed with the right guidance? That’s a game changer.
I’m incredibly grateful to Anant khatiyan for making what seemed complex… effortless.
From navigating incorporation to ensuring everything moved fast and correctly, Anant didn’t just assist — he took ownership like it was his own venture.
⚡ 7 days. That’s all it took.
And behind that speed was clarity, precision, and constant support.
Not many people in the ecosystem combine:
- Deep knowledge
- Founder-first mindset
- Relentless execution
Anant does.
Big thanks as well to Startup Movers Private Limited and Razorpay Rize for building an ecosystem that actually enables founders to move fast.
If you’re a founder stuck in “starting soon” mode — talk to Anant.
Sometimes, the right person is all it takes to turn intention into reality.

Answering your most common OPC questions
Yes, an existing private limited company can be converted into a One Person Company (OPC) if it meets the eligibility criteria specified under the Companies Act.
The OPC shall inform RoC in form INC-5, if the threshold limit is exceeded and is required to be converted into a private or public company.
Only a natural person who is an Indian citizen and resident in India shall be eligible to act as a member and nominee of an OPC.
For the above purpose, the term "resident in India" means a person who has stayed in India for a period of not less than one hundred and eighty two days during the immediately preceding one financial year.
The name of an OPC must end with "Private Limited" and include "OPC" in parentheses, such as "XYZ Enterprises (OPC) Private Limited," to indicate its status as a One Person Company.
A nominee in a One Person Company is an individual appointed by the sole owner to take over the company in case of the owner’s death or incapacity.
No, an NRI cannot incorporate a One Person Company in India, as OPCs require at least one director to be a resident of India.
To be a Director or Nominee in an OPC, you must be an individual, an Indian resident, at least 18 years old, and not disqualified under the Companies Act.
A person can be a member in only one OPC.
Yes, an OPC can become a member or shareholder of another private limited company.
Incorporating a One Person Company usually takes about 7 to 15 business days.
