Cuttack is the commercial capital of Odisha. It is anchored by Malgodown, a roughly 150-year-old wholesale market. Malgodown is the largest in the state. The district has 2.6 million people and is heavily agrarian. About 76% work in agriculture. Choudwar, Jagatpur and Khapuria clusters add industry. So does ferrochrome giant IMFA.
Startup Ecosystem: Cuttack's base is family-run trading houses, MSMEs and craft clusters. These are not venture-funded startups. Odisha ranked a Top Performer in DPIIT's State Startup Ranking. It has 1,800+ recognised startups, centred on Bhubaneswar. Most founders fund growth through banks and reinvested profit.
Odisha levies professional tax under the 2000 Act, capped at Rs 2,500 per year. This sits alongside GST, TDS and ROC filings. The Industrial Policy Resolution (IPR) 2022 gives eligible new units net SGST reimbursement. It also gives a 20-30% capital subsidy on plant and machinery. Stamp-duty and electricity-duty relief are included too. EaseUp keeps filings clean and claims your incentives.
Testimonials
Here's what they say about working with us..
EaseUp spans Tarakasi exports, Malgodown trade and Choudwar manufacturing. We help founders sharpen margins, stay compliant and raise capital with a Virtual CFO.
A Virtual CFO in Cuttack costs far less than a full-time CFO. A full-time CFO commands Rs 25-50 lakh a year plus benefits. EaseUp engagements typically run from about Rs 40,000 to Rs 2,00,000 a month. We scale this to your size, entities and support. That ranges from compliance and MIS to FP&A and fundraising. Scope is set after a free call.
