Hello all, Do any one know how a startup/company can give shares to Indian person working as a remote contractor with the company? Startup wants to give but doesn’t know how

It is possible for company to give you equity regardless of you working as employee or a contractor. At least Indian law doesn't prevent them from doing so, they need to figure out logistics (Carta is popular among startups).

I’ve come across Carta for Options grant, Might want to check that out

Zenequity is also an option I think.

we use https://startup.shareworks.com

Great to hear that. Thanks for answering that. No social security number is required right? Will explore these platforms

Nope, no SSN required, at most, you may be asked to fill W8-BEN form (where only you PAN is needed).

Great thanks 🙂
