§ I — Who we work with

Our Advisory Desks.

MSMEs & operating teams
Mapping where process and operator-knowledge are getting trapped in heads, spreadsheets, or workarounds — and rebuilding the workflow rails around what's actually working.
Second-innings & family capital
Turning late-career insight, family assets, or dormant networks into a venture with a clear first market — without forcing the founder into a costume that doesn't fit.
Civic & policy teams
Regulatory perimeter reads, submission scaffolding, and governance design for teams operating inside or alongside the state.
Impact startups & regenerative businesses
For ventures that pay their debts to substrate, operators, supply chains, and commons — and want to scale, federate, or hand off without losing what makes them regenerative.
Cooperatives, FPOs & member-owned ventures
Producer companies, worker collectives, multi-stakeholder cooperatives — ventures that need shared back-office, governance scaffolding, and a way to scale without diluting member control or capturing the surplus upstream.
Diaspora founders & repatriated capital
NRI / PIO founders returning with foreign-trained skills, capital, or networks — and a thesis they want to ground in Indian operating realities. We bridge the gap between what worked abroad and what scales here.
M&A advisory
For MSME owners considering succession, sale, or consolidation, and for regenerative businesses navigating transformation, aligned hand-off, or thesis-shaped roll-ups. We sit on the operator's side of the table, not the broker's.
Bespoke engagements
When the brief sits between the desks above or outside them entirely — cross-category transitions, hybrid mandates, work that resists categorisation. We scope from scratch, price honestly, and decline if we can't add real value.
§ II — Engagement

Time and fees.

15 min · Free
Screening Call
Fit check. Bring the actual friction. If we're the wrong desk, we'll say so and route you onwards.
1 hour · ₹5k
Office Hours
Drop-in Q&A. No backend, no deliverable. For "just answer me one thing" energy.
~2 weeks · ₹60–75k
Starter Audit
Two front-facing sessions of ~1.5 hours each, plus 3–6 hours backend. You leave with a written map of where value, trust, compliance, and execution are stuck — and what to do first.
2–6 weeks · ₹2–8L
Build or Project
Scoped from the Starter. A working artefact — workflow tool, data surface, submission, playbook, or build — delivered end-to-end.
6–12 months · ₹2–5L/mo
Strategic Retainer
Selected ventures only. A part-time embedded engagement — monthly retainer with deliverables, fractional operating-partner cadence, optional equity or revenue-share component, candidate Venture Lab partner status.

Audits land as written maps. Builds land as working artefacts. Retainers land as ongoing operating-partner notes. We don't ship decks as the work itself.

Write to the desk.

Start with a 15-minute screening or an Office Hours slot. Bring the actual friction — a stuck workflow, a regulatory question, a venture hypothesis, a transition you are inside. If there's fit, we scope honestly. If not, we route.

We don't take on generic strategy decks, IR or PR ghostwriting, pitch-deck design without underlying audit work, or engagements where the diagnosis is pre-decided — we'll route honestly to someone better-suited.
