Fundraising support · DPIIT benefits · Virtual CFO
Startups face a genuinely different set of financial priorities at each stage, and our practice — led by CA Neeraj Sagarmal's startup advisory team — is built around that trajectory. We start early with DPIIT registration and the eligible startup tax holiday under Section 80-IAC, then support fundraising directly through Series A/B due diligence and data room preparation as rounds come together — cap tables, board resolutions and financials that hold up to an investor's diligence team without a scramble the week before term sheet signing.
As the team grows, our ESOP scheme design and perquisite management work builds the equity incentive structure that helps you hire and retain key people, with the fair-market-valuation discipline that keeps Section 56(2)(viib) angel tax exposure off the table when shares are issued above face value. Our Virtual CFO service — monthly MIS and investor reporting — gives founders the financial visibility investors expect without requiring a full-time CFO hire before the business is ready for one.
And for startups raising foreign capital, our FEMA compliance work handles the reporting obligations that come with foreign investment rounds — FC-GPR filings, pricing guidelines, and the downstream compliance that a foreign-funded cap table carries for as long as that capital stays on the books.
