Why Are Fund Managers Moving to GIFT IFSC?

I’ve been seeing a spike in fund managers shifting parts of their business to GIFT City, IFSC — especially FMEs, fintech firms, and global investment desks.
Main reasons people are talking about:

  • lower tax regime,
  • global currency operations,
  • easier setup for funds,
  • and smoother regulatory environment under IFSCA.

Is this actually as beneficial as it sounds, or just hype?
Anyone here operating from GIFT IFSC — what’s your real experience so far?
