Can one person alone register a company in India?

Question

Take this scenario. One person Mr. Hacker is developing three products:-

Pro1,

Pro2 and

Pro3

He'll release these products on the internet after 5 months. Once his products become popular, more people might join in the development activity. Then it might turn into a foundation or a company.

Mr. Hacker has decided to add a prefix to all the products to indicate that all three come from the same source.

ProPlanet Pro1

ProPlanet Pro2

ProPlanet Pro3

So, later his company would be called ProPlanet. The question is:-

Can this Mr. Hacker alone without a team register ProPlanet as a company before the product is released?

If not, what is the best path that Mr. Hacker can follow.

Answer 2

To register a company in India under the Companies Act, there should be atleast 2 persons, with the smallest of scale possible. Single person can have a proprietary firm.

There is no legal status for a single person company.

For rest of your commercial issues, there are other legitimate ways, which require legal guidance and compliances. Consult an appropriate professional.
