Startup Advisory

Entrepreneurs transform innovative ideas into profitable enterprises by partnering with investors. However, in the early stages, founders often get entangled in non-core areas of their business, limiting their focus on growth and sustainability. Starting a business in India involves navigating multiple regulatory and legal frameworks, including the Companies Act, labor laws, intellectual property rights, workplace compliance, direct and indirect taxes, and dispute resolution mechanisms, which can distract entrepreneurs from their core objectives.

Our firm handholds startups and entrepreneurs, guiding them from inception through growth and scaling. We assist in structuring the entity, incorporation, and establishing essential functions such as finance, legal and regulatory compliance, and tax operations. Startups at different funding stages often face additional challenges regarding valuation, investment structure, shareholder agreements, and investor relations — areas where our expertise provides a strategic advantage.
