Is there a minimum revenue or operational threshold required for the offshore entity to qualify for L1 sponsorship?

The question

We are a U.S.-based technology company looking to establish an offshore entity in India to support our product development efforts. Our goal is to ensure that this entity meets the requirements for transferring team members to the U.S. under the L-1 visa program within a two-year timeline. Specifically, we need clarification on the following points: 1. Is there a minimum revenue or operational threshold required for the offshore entity to qualify for L-1 sponsorship? 2. Does the offshore entity need to be a formal subsidiary, or would another type of affiliated company suffice? 3. If we plan to apply for a blanket L-1 to facilitate multiple transfers, would the same company setup be adequate?
