WHY

Make Transactions Close Cleanly

From ESOPs and cap-table changes to CCD/OCD issues and mergers, a CS sequences approvals, paperwork, and filings so deals withstand diligence (and banks/investors say "yes" faster).

Stay Regulator Ready

Proactive calendars, disclosure hygiene, and evidence packs - plus representation before ROC/RD/RBI/NCLT and remediation(condonation/compounding) when legacy gaps exist.

Turn Decisions into Defensible Records

A CS converts Board/Shareholder decisions into SS-1/SS-2-compliant minutes, resolutions, registers, and MCA/ROC filings — reducing penalties, notices, and director-level risk.

DO YOU NEED A

COMPANY SECRETARY

Signal Credibility to Investors

Save Leadership Time

Audit-ready data rooms, clean registers, and clear governance lift confidence - and often your valuation multiple.

Founders/boards stop chasing forms and deadlines; the CS owns compliance, tracks actions, and prevents costly rework.

Frequently asked questions

What types of businesses do you typically work with?

I primarily support early-stage startups, investor-backed ventures, and compliance-driven entities — including healthcare companies, SaaS firms, and D2C brands. If your business needs structured legal or valuation support, I can help.

Do you only take up ongoing retainers, or one-time assignments too?

Both. I offer flexible engagement models — from one-off drafting or valuation assignments to monthly retainers for ongoing compliance and advisory work.

Can you help us with startup funding documentation??

Absolutely. I assist with cleaning up cap tables, drafting Shareholders' Agreements, structuring ESOPs, and managing compliance throughout VC or bridge rounds — from term sheet to post-closing filings.

Do you represent clients at the NCLT?

Yes I personally appear before the tribunal. I collaborate with legal counsel and handle all documentation, drafting, and filing support required for NCLT matters like compounding, shifting of registered offices, or restructuring.

What kind of valuation services do you offer?

I prepare valuation memos, DCF/NAV models, and scenario dashboards tailored for angel/seed-stage companies. These models are designed to help you communicate your business value clearly to investors.

Is all information I share with you kept confidential?

Yes, confidentiality is fundamental to my practice. Every client engagement is handled with strict data protection, and NDAs are signed whenever required.
