Our Services

1. IPO Preparedness

For any business scaling up faster, IPO is a question of “when” and not “If”. Listing showcases the strength of the Compliance, Governance, Risk management and Audit framework. Share price becomes a currency to evaluate inorganic growth options and ESOPs become a meaningful retention tool.

Once you are IPO ready, Merchant Bankers will parade in to execute the transaction. Getting IPO ready is the hard part. Either scaling up or preparing for IPO isn’t a choice for the CXO team and them doing both is a stretch. CXO team needs external help.
