The OPC structure was introduced to help solo entrepreneurs set up businesses with <strong>limited liability<\/strong> without the need for multiple shareholders.

This conversion allows the company to have <strong>multiple shareholders<\/strong>, making it easier to raise capital and enhance credibility among investors. Many successful businesses, such as <strong>Flipkart and Paytm<\/strong>, started as private companies before expanding into larger corporate entities.<\/p>\n<p>The <strong>conversion of an OPC<\/strong> can be <strong>mandatory or voluntary<\/strong>, depending on the business requirements and regulatory thresholds.<\/p>\n<h4><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"1_Mandatory_Conversion\"><\/span><strong>1.
