Short answerA One Person Company (OPC) is a company owned by a single person, giving you limited liability and a corporate identity without needing a second shareholder. You name one nominee who takes over if you can’t continue. Only a resident Indian individual can form one.

Single owner + nominee

One member runs and owns it, with a named nominee for continuity.

Resident Indian only

Only a resident Indian individual can incorporate an OPC; it converts to a Pvt Ltd on crossing thresholds.
