India

Buoyed by a large and rapidly expanding middle class, India has become the go-to source for talent in Asia. As incomes have risen, Indians now buy more higher-value and processed products, opening up opportunities for foreign suppliers. The growing tech sector combined with the low cost of operation, including everything from infrastructure to salaries, also makes the country an attractive choice for setting up a business.

Payroll Compliance

Ever-changing regulations, including complex tax rules, make payroll compliance a major challenge. Statutory compliance, labor laws, and state regulations — to name a few — are prominent and must be followed. Failure to comply can expose the organization to lawsuits

Inconsistent Bookkeeping

Bookkeeping tends to be a low-priority task for small businesses in India, although it’s critical to success regardless of company size. Many business owners fail to understand that consistent bookkeeping can strengthen their decision-making and make a positive impact on business revenue. The small business carries a huge potential and would benefit from establishing basic financial hygiene.

Employee Retention

Young talent in India generally prefers a healthy work-life balance over benefits. The demands of the younger cohort have become a growing challenge for HR departments. HR now has to try to set realistic expectations while providing a work culture that counteracts the trend of job hopping.
