Dubai-based entity setup and management platform Arnifi has launched its new office in Bengaluru, marking a significant expansion of its presence in India. The company plans to hire over 100 people and invest in technology and talent capabilities, according to founder Manu Midha.

The new office will support Arnifi’s goal of helping businesses establish and manage legal entities across international markets. With over 500 companies already set up in global markets through Arnifi, the company aims to capitalize on India’s growing startup ecosystem and increasing demand for reliable international setup and compliance services.

India’s startup ecosystem is thriving, with over 159,000 recognized ventures, making it the third-largest in the world. Many of these startups are looking to expand internationally, creating a huge demand for services like Arnifi’s. The company has already facilitated the setup of businesses in global markets for numerous Indian companies, generating significant foreign exchange inflows into the country.

The UAE has emerged as a leading regional hub for startups and India is its third-largest trading partner, second-largest export destination and fifth-largest investor, with cumulative investments of about $23 billion since 2000. The India-UAE Startup Series, launched in June, has attracted over 10,000 founders from across the country and sectors, further solidifying the partnership between the two nations.

With its new office in Bengaluru, Arnifi is well-positioned to support the growing number of Indian businesses looking to expand globally. The company plans to leverage its AI-driven platform to provide seamless and compliant entity setup and management services, enabling businesses to focus on growth and innovation.

As part of its expansion plans, Arnifi will be hiring over 100 people in India, contributing to the country’s growing talent pool in the startup and technology sectors. The company’s investment in technology and talent capabilities will also enhance its ability to support businesses in navigating complex regulatory environments and achieving their global growth objectives
