Kolkata, August 5, 2026: BDS Legal Services has expanded its footprint in Eastern India with the inauguration of a new office in Kolkata, aiming to enhance legal and intellectual property (IP) support for startups and MSMEs in the region. The company announced the opening at a press conference held at its Sector V, Salt Lake premises.
The new office, located at J1–8, Delta Tower, 1402, EP Block, Sector V, Bidhannagar, Kolkata – 700091, will house a team of 70–80 professionals. BDS Legal Services said the expansion is intended to provide faster and more accessible legal, IP, and regulatory advisory services to businesses across West Bengal and neighbouring states.
Focus on startups and MSMEs
According to the company, West Bengal has more than 21.75 lakh registered MSMEs and over 5,200 DPIIT-recognised startups, creating demand for legal, compliance, and IP advisory services. The Kolkata office will offer services including trademark, copyright and patent registration, company incorporation, GST registration, ISO certification, FSSAI licensing, Import Export Code (IEC), Startup India registration, and ongoing business compliance.
Tushar Shinde, Project Head at BDS Legal Services, said the Kolkata office marks a significant step in the firm’s expansion strategy. “Eastern India is witnessing remarkable entrepreneurial growth, and we want to be the trusted legal partner for businesses at every stage of their journey.
