🚨 95% funded startups restructure GST.

The other 5%?

They planned for scale before time.
Everyone talks about growth after funding.

But no one talks about the tax mess it creates.

New teams.
New vendors across states.
New branches and additional places of business.

But the GST setup?

Still stuck in Day 0.
That’s when the dominoes fall.

→ Compliance turns into crisis control
→ Credits get blocked
→ Refunds get delayed


So, how do you fix it?

Build your GST team structure the way you build your pitch deck.

Proactively.
Intentionally.

→ Set SOPs for GST compliance
→ Check cross-charge or ISD needs
→ Plan branch expansion, register GSTIN early
→ Document service exports for refunds
→ Reconcile 2B, 3B, 1 to avoid flags

And before the sprint begins.

I call this the “Compliance-First Growth Stack.”

It can save you crores when the GST Audit/scrutiny hits.

Because growth doesn’t break companies.

Unplanned ops do.

And GST is usually the first crack.

Have you seen this play out in your company or with a client?

Drop your experience.
