Cuttack, the commercial capital of Odisha, is home to Malgodown, the state's largest wholesale market. Its founders run handicraft exporters, handloom houses, traders and Choudwar manufacturers. EaseUp brings them senior CFO expertise without a full-time hire.
EaseUp gives Cuttack founders a dedicated Virtual CFO backed by a full finance team, for a fraction of a full-time salary. We build SKU and loom-level costing, working-capital forecasts for trading and export cycles, watertight GST and Odisha compliance, plus investor-grade reporting.
Cuttack is the commercial capital of Odisha, anchored by Malgodown, a roughly 150-year-old wholesale market, the largest in the state. The district of 2.6 million is heavily agrarian (about 76% in agriculture), while Choudwar, Jagatpur and Khapuria clusters plus ferrochrome giant IMFA add industry.
Startup Ecosystem: Cuttack's base is family-run trading houses, MSMEs and craft clusters, not venture-funded startups. Odisha ranked a Top Performer in DPIIT's State Startup Ranking with 1,800+ recognised startups, centred on Bhubaneswar. Most founders fund growth via banks and reinvested profit.
Key economic, startup and industry indicators for the city.
Odisha levies professional tax under the 2000 Act, capped at Rs 2,500 per year, alongside GST, TDS and ROC filings. The Industrial Policy Resolution (IPR) 2022 gives eligible new units net SGST reimbursement, a 20-30% capital subsidy on plant and machinery, plus stamp-duty and electricity-duty relief. EaseUp keeps filings clean and claims your incentives.
