How to source from BQP.

Response SLA: same-day response for reporter enquiries, Monday to Saturday IST. For urgent breaking-news requests, WhatsApp is fastest.

Format of commentary: on-record quote (standard), background briefing (not-for-attribution), fact-check only (confirm a specific number or section). State preference in your enquiry.

What makes BQP a reliable source for Indian startup / tax topics:

  • Section-specific citations — we cite specific Indian Income Tax Act / FEMA / SEBI sections, not generic principles.
  • Worked examples — happy to provide hypothetical numbers that illustrate the mechanic (e.g., "A founder with USD 20M FMV flipping to Delaware pays INR X in Indian LTCG").
  • Policy context — we track regulatory changes (Finance Act amendments, FEMA notifications, SEBI circulars, CBDT clarifications) as they happen.
  • Industry context — we see actual deal flow across cross-border mandates, so the commentary reflects what founders / companies are actually doing, not what they theoretically could do.
