Street-level coordinate, derived from a registered address in Andheri East. We print the registered office as filed with the MCA, trimmed of contact details; it never appears in a report or an export, and a request from the company removes it within two working days.
This is the registered office on the company's own MCA filing, which is the address printed above. A registered office is frequently a founder's home, and it is not necessarily where the company works.

What we do not know
- no website on file
We have no liveness signal for any company on this site: no filings feed, no revenue, no check that the website still resolves. A startup existing here means a startup exists, not that a business is trading.

If something is wrong, the authoritative place to correct it is the Startup India portal itself, and we will pick the correction up on the next monthly snapshot.
