Your advisory partner, start to finish.

Opportunity Advisory

Finding and testing opportunities against what you actually want — before anyone spends money on diligence.

Most opportunity flow reaching an overseas investor has already been shopped. We work the other way: we start from your objective, capital range, control preference and risk tolerance, then go looking. Shortlists are built to be rejected quickly, with the disqualifying facts surfaced first rather than last.

Typically includes

• Objective and fit assessment
• Sector and sub-domain screening
• Opportunity sourcing and shortlisting
• Early commercial read before diligence spend

Market Entry & Business Setup

Choosing the structure, then registering it, staffing it and getting it operating.

The structure decision comes first and it is difficult to reverse. Wholly owned subsidiary, joint venture, LLP, branch or liaison office each carry a different tax, repatriation and exit profile. We take that decision with you, then run the formation, registrations and early operating setup through to the point where the entity is actually working.

Typically includes

• Market and route assessment
• Entity structure selection
• Incorporation and registrations
• Operating setup and early hiring coordination

Transaction Advisory

Mergers, acquisitions, joint ventures, valuation input, diligence coordination and negotiation support.

A transaction is a sequence of decisions taken under incomplete information, mostly by people in different time zones. Our job is to keep the sequence in the right order, keep the diligence findings connected to the price, and make sure nothing is agreed in principle that cannot be documented.

Typically includes

• M&A and joint venture advisory
• Valuation input on Indian mid-market businesses
• Financial, commercial, legal and operational diligence coordination
• Negotiation support and transaction project management

Strategic Partnerships

Finding a partner, verifying them, and settling control and exit before money moves.

The right partnership can change everything. The wrong one costs years, and the terms that decide which is which are usually the ones nobody wanted to raise at the start. We identify and vet the counterparty, then structure the arrangement so control, deadlock, exit and dispute terms are agreed while goodwill is still cheap.

Typically includes

• Partner identification and verification
• Contract manufacturing and sourcing partners
• Commercial and governance term structuring
• Control, deadlock and exit provisions

Regulatory & Compliance Advisory

FDI route, FEMA and RBI reporting, MCA and transfer pricing — coordinated by us, executed by licensed professionals.

We do not hold every licence a cross-border transaction needs, and we say so. What we do is own the map: which filing, in what order, by when, and what happens to the company if it is missed. Execution sits with empanelled chartered accountants, company secretaries and law firms, and with your own advisers in your home jurisdiction.

Typically includes

• FDI route determination
• FEMA and RBI filings including FC-GPR and ODI reporting
• MCA and corporate compliance coordination
• Repatriation, treaty and transfer pricing coordination

Business Growth & Transformation

Expansion planning, restructuring and operational improvement once the entity is running.

The work that decides whether an India entry was worth doing happens after completion. Expansion sequencing, restructuring, operating discipline, reporting rhythm and the awkward conversation about the management team you inherited.

Typically includes

• Expansion and scale-up planning
• Restructuring and operating improvement
• Governance and reporting rhythm
• Performance review against the original thesis

Succession Planning

Ownership transition and continuity for family-owned businesses.

Succession is rarely a legal problem first. It is a family problem that becomes a legal problem when it is left too long. We work with owners on transition structure, continuity of control, and preparation for sale or transfer, at the pace the family can actually move.

Typically includes

• Ownership transition structuring
• Continuity and governance planning
• Preparation for sale or transfer
• Next-generation readiness

Relationship Management

A named point of contact that does not disappear when the transaction closes.

Advisory relationships that end at completion tend to produce transactions that look good on the day they close. We stay engaged: reporting, escalation, and the periodic conversation about whether the original objective is still the right one.

Typically includes

• Named engagement lead
• Ongoing advisory and escalation
• Periodic review against objectives
• Introduction into the specialist network as needed
