Diligence & Governance

A clean structure
for a simpler listing.

Mergers, demergers, slump sales and holding-company structures that turn a founder-led group into a clean, listable entity that investors and SEBI can easily understand.

Many growing businesses operate through several group entities built up over the years. Before an IPO, that structure may need to be simplified so investors, merchant bankers and other relevant stakeholders can clearly understand the business and the entity being listed.

Group Simplification.

We map your group companies, cross-holdings and inter-company transactions, then recommend how to consolidate them through mergers, demergers or slump sales. The aim is a listing entity that is easy to explain in the offer document.

Holding Structures & Capital Planning.

Choosing the listing entity, positioning subsidiaries and organising promoter holdings can affect valuation, tax, governance and IPO readiness. Our team advises on a structure aligned with your IPO plans and long-term growth, alongside the relevant legal, tax and professional advisors.
