Strategy and M&A, run separately
Two practices, each scoped, staffed and priced on its own. Engage the consulting without a transaction in play, or the M&A without a consulting retainer — whichever the decision in front of you needs.

Strategic consulting,and M&A.Two practices, run separately.
A Bengaluru-based strategic consulting practice and M&A advisory practice, built for India’s growing businesses. Bring us in for a strategic decision, for a transaction, or for both — as separate engagements, each scoped and priced on its own.
What we do
Two practices. Eight services.
Strategic consulting and M&A advisory are separate practices — engage one without the other. The six finance services behind them, from valuation to a monthly VCFO retainer, plug into whichever you take.

Why work with us
Two practices, not a package. Take the strategy, take the deal, or take both.
02
SME & startup specialists
We take the work larger banks and advisory firms ignore. Your size is the reason we take it, not a reason to hand you to a junior.
03
Transparent pricing
Retainer and success-fee structure disclosed upfront, in writing, before you sign. No surprises after the engagement starts.
04
The numbers come first
Every recommendation is built against your actual financials, so what we propose is something you can afford to execute — not a deck.
How an engagement runs
No surprises,
start to finish.
Discovery call
Tell us what you are working on. No pitch, no obligation — an honest 30-minute conversation about your situation and whether we can help.
Proposal & engagement letter
A clear written proposal — scope, deliverables, timeline and fee — then a signed engagement letter before any work begins. No surprises after you sign.
Delivery
We execute to the agreed scope and timeline. You get regular updates and a direct line to us throughout, not an account manager.
Review & next steps
We debrief on delivery and discuss what comes next. A consulting client might move to a VCFO retainer; an M&A client might return for the next transaction. Neither is assumed.
