For India-based companies building models, applications and enabling tools, we can maintain books of account, coordinate payroll, Goods and Services Tax (GST) and Tax Deducted at Source (TDS), account for grants and funding, prepare management and investor reports, strengthen internal controls and support recurring corporate compliance.

• Transactions and specialist analysis. Financial due diligence, quality-of-earnings and working-capital reviews; valuations and financial modelling; forensic accounting, fraud investigations and litigation support; asset-based lending field examinations; transfer-pricing studies; and tax advice.

Appropriately authorised professionals would undertake or issue independent audit or attestation opinions, regulated investment work, legal representation and other locally reserved services.

India Entry and Local Operating Setup

For overseas AI companies entering India, we can coordinate entity setup, tax registrations, foreign-investment and foreign-exchange compliance, transfer pricing, payroll, accounting systems and recurring filings. Our professional network can also help identify legal advisers, business partners, premises, recruitment providers and event partners for developer conferences or industry programmes.

Professional Domain Expertise for AI Evaluations and Reinforcement Learning

Over more than 30 years, GP Associates and its multidisciplinary team of over 60 professionals have built detailed knowledge of how accounting, auditing, taxation, finance, governance and compliance work is performed.

• Evaluation design. We can work with an AI company's engineering teams to define professional tasks, realistic workflows, rubrics, datasets, edge cases and failure scenarios.
• Reinforcement Learning environments. We can translate professional processes into scenarios, feedback criteria and expert judgements for Reinforcement Learning (RL) environments.
• Complementary roles. The AI company supplies the engineering and model infrastructure; GP Associates supplies the professional domain knowledge.

The same domain knowledge may support work in other common-law, value-added tax (VAT) or GST jurisdictions. Appropriately qualified professionals in each country would validate local legal, tax and reporting requirements.
