How Does Advisor Equity Work in India? Insights and Legal Considerations

[peter johnson]

I'm exploring the concept of advisor equity in India, particularly for startups and businesses looking to engage advisors by offering them equity stakes instead of cash compensation.

Advisor equity can be a fantastic way to bring experienced professionals on board while conserving cash, but I want to understand the legal, financial, and operational nuances specific to the Indian context. How is advisor equity structured in India, what are the compliance requirements, and what pitfalls should one avoid?

I found this article that offers some valuable insights: Advisor Equity India. If you’re also curious about the topic or have experience with it, this might help.

Thanks!
