VIKASH KUMAR JAIN
I have spent the last several years building online businesses from India — making every expensive mistake so you don't have to. I have navigated GST registrations, FEMA compliance for dollar invoices, the chaos of choosing between seventeen project-management tools, and the very real challenge of maintaining focus and health while running a business from home in a country that never really switches off. I am not a CA or a lawyer, but I work closely with both, and this course distils what I wish someone had handed me on Day 1: a clear, honest, India-first operating manual for the online founder. Everything I teach here I have applied myself, and I update the material every time a policy, tool, or platform changes meaningfully.
