Capital Market Advisory Services
We advise listed and pre-IPO companies on the full range of primary and secondary market transactions — IPOs, further issues, buybacks, delisting and ongoing SEBI compliance.
Overview
Capital market transactions require precise interpretation of SEBI (ICDR), (LODR), (SAST), (Buyback), (Delisting) and PIT Regulations, combined with commercial judgment on structuring and timing.
Our capital market advisory practice supports promoters, boards and CFOs across the full transaction lifecycle — from route selection and structuring to execution, disclosure and post-transaction compliance.

Challenges we help you navigate
Fragmented advisors, uneven quality
Most capital markets mandates cross tax, legal, finance and secretarial workstreams. Handing them to separate advisors creates gaps in strategy, timelines and accountability.
Regulatory complexity and shifting law
The regulatory landscape around capital markets has moved quickly in the last few years. Precedents, circulars and enforcement priorities change how a matter should be structured and defended.
Commercial trade-offs, not just paperwork
Every capital markets decision affects cash, tax, timelines and stakeholder trust. Documentation alone is not enough — the underlying commercial call has to be right.
Execution capacity under time pressure
Boards and promoters usually engage on a deadline — a filing, a board meeting, a diligence, a hearing. Slippage is expensive and often irreversible.

Frequently asked questions
Which capital raise route is right for my company — QIP, rights or preferential?
The right route depends on capital needed, investor profile, promoter dilution appetite, timeline and SEBI eligibility. We evaluate and recommend the optimal structure based on your objectives.
