How to Price Your Services as a New Indian Business

Cost-plus vs value-based vs tiered — pricing frameworks that work for Indian founders.

5 June 2026·6 min read

The biggest early-stage revenue killer isn't lack of leads — it's underpricing. Here's how to price with confidence.

Three pricing models

  • Cost-plus: total cost × 1.5-2.5x — safe for products
  • Value-based: charge % of value delivered — best for consulting
  • Tiered / packaged: Starter / Pro / Enterprise — best for services

GST-inclusive vs exclusive

B2B clients expect GST-exclusive quotes. B2C — always quote GST-inclusive to avoid checkout surprises.

Discount discipline

Discount for annual commitments or bundles, never for the same scope. Every discount trains the client to expect one.
