OPCs were introduced in India in 2013 to encourage entrepreneurship and to make it easier for individuals to start their own businesses.

In addition, OPCs are relatively easy to set up and maintain. The requirements for incorporating an OPC are simple and the compliance requirements are less stringent than those for other types of companies.

Overall, OPCs are a good option for entrepreneurs who are looking to start their own businesses with limited liability protection and the benefits of a separate legal entity.
