India Entry and Business Setup
Setting up a business in India requires a lot of compliance from a foreign national.
Right from selecting the right legal constitution of the entity to navigating the various complexities in establishing an entity, we are here to help.
Due Diligence
All information (financial, legal and operational) is verified for fairness and accuracy during an investment process.
It makes the process clear and transparent on both sides. It helps your startup negotiate a better deal and reduces the risk for investors.
We carry out Due Diligence for you and also address the information gap that emerges between you and your investors.
ESOP & Cap Table Management
The more ESOPs (employee stock ownership plans) your startup offers, the harder it gets to track and measure stock ownerships.
Managing a Capitalization Table (Cap Table) in a structured format helps you keep track of your startup’s ownerships.
Right from rolling out your ESOP scheme to monitoring conversions, sales, and exercise of stock options, we take care of them all.

Virtual CFO Service
Having an in-house CFO comes at a high-price when you are an up-and-coming startup. But operating without a financial professional is not the way to go either.
We optimise the financial health of your startup so you can optimise on scaling it in a sustainable way.
From book-keeping, payroll, investor reporting to GST filings, etc, we manage them for you.
Transaction Advisory
Investment opportunities, fundraising and compliances can be confusing for a founder.
We translate all the financial jargon into simple terms so you can navigate them with ease.
Whether you’re looking for guidance, a plan-of-action or want us to get it done, we help you complete it with clarity and compliance.
Startup Valuation
Defining the value of your startup based on past financial records, future forecasts and market factors is challenging.
Knowing the value of your startup at every stage is essential. It helps you understand your growth, determine the need and extent for funding.
We value your startup as well as get the required valuation certificates. On the other hand, we guide investors to invest with the right security based on the startup’s phase.
Financial Modelling
As a startup founder, you have everything planned in mind. Financial Modelling converts it into numbers and makes your plan realistic.
The Model provides strategy and direction by forecasting your startup’s performance.
We estimate how much money and time your startup needs, and set milestones for each phase of growth. It showcases your plan and potential to the investors.
Our Clients
We’re proud of the community of entrepreneurs and startups that we work alongside, and the businesses we’re helping to grow.
