Please enlighten your views on below:

Mr. A has an idea which is worth 100 crores. Mr. B, Mr. C, Mr. D, Mr. E (investors) are convinced by the idea and are ready to invest full 100 crores on idea. 

Mr. A has no money to invest and wants to retain 75% ownership in the company. How can he do so?

Mr A’s idea is worth 5-10 lakhs inr. 

Owners equity= legal ownership over assets after deducting liabilities. 

Who ever invests, their share of profits, assets and liabilities are proportional. 

No chance that he can take over 75% ownership. 

What if B, C, D, E opens up a private limited company (25 crores each) and transfer their proportion equity holding to A so that A now has 75% holding and B,C,D,E have total 25% holding. Is it possible ? 

What Mr. A will pay upon transfer to B C D E where he has no money

If A has the facility to inherit the stake through Indian law, it is possible. The partners capital account will be debited while transferring stake to A and A’s account will be credited. So this transaction is valid because the balance sheet equation is not disturbed here. 

A can join the company like:

Bank a/c 100₹

To A’s capital a/c 0₹

To B capital a/c 25₹

To C capital a/c 25₹

To D capital a/c 25₹

To E capital a/c 25₹

(if law allows partner to join for free)

If the company law or Legal laws prohibit such a transfer, then, it is not possible.
