Kanpur is Uttar Pradesh's largest industrial city. It is the historic "Manchester of the East." The city anchors India's leather economy. It handles about 15% of national leather-product exports. Jajmau alone holds roughly 250 tanneries. Dada Nagar, Panki and Chakeri add units in hosiery, chemicals and defence.
Startup Ecosystem: Kanpur's economy is increasingly tech-led. IIT Kanpur's Startup Incubation and Innovation Centre (SIIC) powers this shift. It is one of India's oldest academic incubators. SIIC co-hosted the ASEAN-India Start-up Festival 2024. Under the UP Startup Policy 2020, DPIIT startups get tax relief.
Uttar Pradesh levies NO professional tax. So Kanpur employers skip that payroll deduction. Under the UP Startup Policy 2020, DPIIT-recognised startups get tax relief. They also get incubation support (SIIC, IIT Kanpur). Industrial clusters add infrastructure benefits. One example is the upcoming Ramaipur Mega Leather Cluster. Founders still owe TDS, GST, EPF, ESI and Companies Act filings. EaseUp runs these on one calendar.
Testimonials
Here's what they say about working with us..
Maybe you export leather from Jajmau. Maybe you run a hosiery unit or scale a startup. EaseUp gives you the CFO firepower to grow. Let's map your priorities now.
A full-time CFO in a metro can cost Rs 40-80 lakh a year. Most Kanpur manufacturers cannot afford that. EaseUp's Virtual CFO service typically costs about Rs 40,000 to Rs 2,00,000 per month. The price depends on your revenue, transaction volume and export complexity. A small Jajmau unit sits at the lower end.
