Diligence & Governance

Independent valuation
that holds its ground.

Valuations using DCF, comparable companies and precedent transactions — for fund-raising, fairness opinions, ESOP pricing and the pricing decisions at the heart of every issue.

A valuation is only as good as its ability to withstand challenge — from merchant bankers, anchor investors and the regulator. We build valuations that are rigorous, well-documented and genuinely independent of the deal's commission incentives.

Methodology & rigour.

We apply the full toolkit — discounted cash flow, comparable company analysis and precedent transaction analysis — and triangulate across them rather than relying on any single approach. Every assumption is documented and stress-tested, so the valuation can be defended line by line when it matters most.

Purpose-built valuations.

Different purposes demand different rigour. We prepare valuations for IPO pricing and price-band determination, fairness opinions for boards, ESOP grant pricing, M&A consideration, and the registered-valuer requirements under the Companies Act and Income Tax Act.

Because we don't underwrite the issue, our valuation reflects what the business is genuinely worth — not what a placement memorandum would prefer it to be.
