How long does it take?

US-as-a-parent: LLPs take about a month to create (formation, getting a bank account, starting the ODI process). Then the paperwork for the US parent takes just minutes to handle. Subsequently setting up a wholly owned subsidiary in India (a private limited company) takes about another month or so.
