Raising capital

Teams need to raise capital to grow their enterprise, acquire another, reduce costs and or even to survive. It is important to find the right source and not just any source of capital.

We organise:

Debt - Venture Debt, Working Capital Financing, Term Financing, Debt Capital Markets, Project Finance, etc.

Equity - Growth Capital, Mezzanine Financing

JV / M&A

Strategic fit is key. Some enterprises need to find their in-country partner or perhaps a cross border one. Some need to invest / acquire / divest / sell to create more value for their enterprise. We map the right fit for our clients to ensure that it is not just a single transaction but the first of many in the relationship. We deliver expertise not just in fetching the right partner or price but the ability to assess its true value and the trust to step back if the value proposition is not as desired by our clients.

Advisory

Our strengths lie in the Go To Market strategy, we embed ourselves within the partner company thus working alongside partner team. We have 3 critical aspects within advisory which we focus on

  • Sales Growth, Organic and Inorganic
  • Implementing / Fine Tuning or Improving Feedback Loop
  • Innovation in Sales / Establishing Digital Footprint.

Size

Our focus is on the mid market enterprise with the potential to scale their enterprise nationwide or globally.

Access

Most mid market do not have access to scalable capital and is at service of traditional mindset which are linked to collaterals and other security linked access. Our strategy is to bring such access to mid market with a global approach and service.

Sector

We work alongside those enterprises that are technology enabled or technology centric and or ones that seek transformational change. This may include manufacturers, service industry, distributors, ofcourse tech itself. Even though this implies pretty much all sectors however we only work with those within that demonstrate that their products or process have technology as a core of what they do and or the bent to bring radical change in themselves or the industry they serve.

Company Stages

We do not hold expertise in companies looking at seed funding. Our capability is to work with those companies looking for growth and or mature companies.

Adjacencies

We work actively with partners specialising in their domains such as consulting firms, industry bodies, to collaborate effectively in fulfilling the needs of our clients.

Context
1
Indian Market

Indian Market is a multi trillion dollar economy and a huge opportunity that will come our way over the years to come.

2
Mid Market

Thousands of small and medium enterprises do not have efficient capital flows and deal opportunities.

3
Tier 2 & 3 Cities

These cities have a large addressable market yet do not get tapped by the large institutions simply due to lack of team and mobility infrastructure.

1
Underlying market inefficiencies in India

While it is amongst the top economy in the world, India has many gaps that do not realise its full potential. These inefficiencies need to be identified and addressed.

2
Unorganised and fragmented

Small accounting firms / agents cater to capital needs across nation. These small firms do not have the ability and or access to growth capital for the mid market.

3
Mid Market not structurally ready for capital infusion

Capital infusion whether by way of debt and or equity needs best practises, team and regulation to be managed. Most organically grown enterprise lack the preparedness to manage capital infusion.

Fundamental shifts augmented by Covid Crises
01

Behavioural changes in consumers which leads to disruption & emergence in entire sectors. This would be the greatest time to consolidate, merge, acquire or sell.

02

Destruction of liquidity cycles - some sectors would seem to weather the crises but long tail threats could hamper or destruct cash flow.

03

Massive attention towards technology adoption. With covid restrictions and advent of new normal, adoption and usage of technology in every aspect of the company is a necessity.

04

National self sufficiency - all nations will adopt measures that ensure inter dependency is minimised which leads to India stepping up its internal investments.

Capital is the fuel that drives a business.

One can have the best business plan, product, service but it needs an innovative attitude matched with the right capital from the most sustainable long term sources to scale a business. Our years of cumulative experience have given us a deep understanding of how to assess enterprises with such an innovative bent which when given access to the right capital, can scale their business. Our best skills are to assess, harness and nurture Tech & EQ capability of the entrepreneurs and ensure then they have the right source of capital.

In each relationship, we ask, assess and apply
What secrets lie in the company that we don’t know yet that could apply to that industry?
What secrets lie in their EQ that they may not know yet?

We look for hidden roads, not infinite ones to reach common goals.
Objective is to find and achieve the goal.

What do we do?

There is sufficient capital in the world. However it goes to only a select few. All capital seeks entrepreneurs and businesses that use the capital with integrity and deploy the same in business and ideas that scale that very capital. Scale comes through taking risks and in this decade and beyond it requires faster adoption of technology to make it happen.Therein lies our strength of understanding those teams that have the ability to use the capital on innovative ideas and transformational changes and deploy the capital to where it's meant for.

We Analyse
Soft Skill
Skills of those running and owning a business, which entails their ability to manage the enterprise and create / work with their teams. Domain expertise would have limited advantage if the same are not put to use with soft skills. This is why many technology sound founders / companies fail.
Tech adaptability
Legacy business or of the new economy, the reality is that all business are getting impacted by technology, if not disrupted. For any business to scale, it needs to adapt technology and or even outsourcing technology. Technology has to be embedded in the way of life of the business. Technology could be a disruptor or even an enabler of the product, its process, how it is distributed or even how it is adopted as an attitude.
Market domination capability
A large piece of a small market is more important to us then a small piece of a big market.The size of the company is not as relevant to us as long as it represents an ability to scale. Dominance in a small market matched with our capability to access capital and networks, can scale the business beyond the small market existence.

How do we do it?

We research and analyse history of the company, its founders, the management, its industry. We deep dive in each of these aspects in a systematic manner to ascertain opportunities and challenges.

Read More
We deep dive into the company process of sourcing, production (if any), warehousing, branding, marketing, distribution, collection, cash flow management, accounting, compliance.
We explore management experience, bandwidth, owner engagement linked to the future growth of the company.
We review market size of the industry to understand organic or inorganic growth or the possibility of establishing a blue ocean strategy.
We review tech adaptability of the management and the company to assess the gaps. We work with those management / company who are agile to adoption of technology.
We assess owners risk appetite and whether they will give the freedom to its management to take the necessary risks in order to scale the opportunity.
Knowledge versus Tinkering (trial and error). Whoever learns fastest, wins. There is no perfect company, team, product or process. It is the our ability to have insights and find the fit for such improvisations that makes us different.
Minimize
Ideal source
Capital is available thru many sources. It is important for the partner (client) to access the same from the right source which then enables the next round of access or infusion to be seamless and scalable. Long term view is critical to access capital. All top institutions with access to capital, view all access or infusions as an extension of the management capability to manage such capital. We ensure to match the need with the ideal source
Enabling technology
We work actively to share our insights on technologies that are impacting or disrupting the partner (client) industries we work with. Having a collaborative approach to such insights helps us and our partners (clients) align more effectively & position themselves to scale utilising their technology, outsourcing it or tapping into tech adjacencies.
Many to some
Instead of being some to many, we focus on being many to some. We offer personalised relationships that bring to the partner (client) not just what we know but also organise access to what we may not, therein thus going the extra mile to make the relationship result oriented.
