How to invest in Borealis Foods from India
Step 1
Open your Paasa account
KYC takes a few minutes: PAN, Aadhaar and address proof. Your brokerage account is opened in your own name with Interactive Brokers.
Step 2
Add funds from your Indian bank account
Remit up to $250,000 a year under the RBI's Liberalised Remittance Scheme. Your bank converts the rupees to US dollars at its rate on the day you remit.
Step 3

Find Borealis Foods by name or by its ticker, BRLS, and place your order. Fractional shares are available and there is no minimum trade size, so you can buy by amount instead of whole shares.
Why invest in Borealis Foods from India
What Borealis Foods does
Borealis Foods Inc. is an enterprise focused on the distribution of food products that are rich in plant-derived protein. The company's offerings feature Chef Woo, a meat alternative with a high protein content, and Ramen Express, which provides vegetarian ramen noodle selections. Borealis Foods operates in the Packaged Foods industry within the Consumer Defensive sector.
Hold a dollar asset
Borealis Foods shares are priced in US dollars, so a weaker rupee adds to what they're worth in rupees. The rupee depreciated over 85% against the dollar between 2010 and 2025.
Buy a fraction of a share
Buy by amount, not by share, and get the matching fraction of one Borealis Foods share. There is no minimum trade size.

Frequently asked questions
Can I buy Borealis Foods stock from India?
Yes. Indian residents and NRIs can buy Borealis Foods (BRLS) shares directly through Paasa. Borealis Foods is listed on NASDAQ, in the Packaged Foods industry. Your money leaves India under the RBI's Liberalised Remittance Scheme and the shares are held in your own name at Interactive Brokers.
Do I need to buy a full Borealis Foods share?
No. You can buy part of one Borealis Foods share and add to your position over time. One share is $0.96, and you can buy whole shares or any fraction; there is no minimum trade size.
How are Borealis Foods dividends taxed for Indian investors?
Borealis Foods trades on NASDAQ but is domiciled in Canada, so any withholding on its dividends follows that country's rules rather than those of the US. Some non-US companies list in the US through American Depositary Receipts, which can carry dividend withholding at the company's home-country rate. Dividends are taxed at your slab rate in India. Paasa's dividend report shows the gross amount and any tax withheld for each payment.
What tax do I pay in India when I sell Borealis Foods shares?
The US does not levy capital gains tax on shares for Indian residents. In India, gains on shares held for more than 24 months are long-term and taxed at 12.5%, and gains on shares held for 24 months or less are short-term and taxed at your income-tax slab rate. Both are worked out in rupees at the USD/INR rate on the day you bought and the day you sold, so the currency move is part of the gain. Paasa's capital-gains statement gives you the figures for your return.
