The Startup Registration Maze: Lessons from Founders
Every founder dreams of getting their company recognized under Startup India or KSUM. But inside the KPH Mafia chat, it became clear that the process is rarely straightforward.
One member admitted being stuck with a CA who had no clue about startup registrations ,a common story when traditional accountants handle modern SaaS setups. Others quickly jumped in: “Why do you have a CA who doesn’t understand this? I fired mine after two years.”
The group’s consensus? Register for Startup India first, then KSUM. And sometimes, it’s better to part ways with outdated advisors and bring in experts who understand startup nuances.
Blog takeaway: Founders should treat registration like a strategic step, not just paperwork. The wrong CA can cost you time and missed exemptions.
