A 70-employee logistics company in Pune thought it was fully compliant. PF was deducted every month. ESIC challans were paid. The owner had never received a notice.

Every growing business eventually hits the same wall. Revenue increases. The team expands. Yet the cost of simply running the business grows faster than the business itself.
