More details to this question:
There is a 7 year old well funded company in USA with some 30-40 employees. It wants to start a subsidiary in India and want me to be a senior executive in it. After 1 year of my completion in Indian subsidiary, can I apply for L1-A visa or do I have to wait for the completion of 3 years in India also? I have seen that 3 years of financials statements are essential for visa stamping.

You have to be employed by a foreign entity for at least 1 year before being eligible to transfer to the US in L-1 status.

You can apply after 1 year but please note that if you return to the U.S. after working for a qualifying affiliated organization abroad (as an Manager/Executive) that the company abroad needs to have at least three employees outside the U.S. (on payroll) after you return to the States.
