OUR STORY

Equity in India Is Broken in a Very Specific Way.

It gets created in a hurry. It gets managed in spreadsheets. And when the moment comes, a fundraise, an exit, an employee who finally asks what their options are worth, the gaps show up all at once. We have seen this from the inside. Not as observers. As the team that got called in to clean it up.
That is why Equilay exists.

The Two Lines We Hold Everything Against

Vision

Making equity real, for every founder, every employee, every exit.

Mission

Equity deserves more than a spreadsheet. Equilay gives it structure, clarity, and expert guidance, from creation to ESOP to exit.

Who We Are

Practitioners First. Platform Builders Second.

Equilay is built by the team at Ealkay, a 360° business consulting and execution firm with over 25 years of combined CFO, legal, and strategic advisory experience across Indian private companies.

Before we built a platform, we sat in the rooms where equity decisions get made, and where they go wrong.

We have helped companies raise over ₹8,500 crore. We have restructured ESOP schemes designed in a hurry and never revisited. We have walked founders through cap table conversations that nearly derailed term sheets. We have watched employees exercise options without understanding what the tax bill on the other side looked like.

Most Platforms Stop at Software. We Don't.

Advisory That Gets It Right First

Before a single grant is issued, the structure has to be right. ESOP scheme design, cap table architecture, SHA drafting, Rule 11UA valuations, our advisory team works with you from the beginning so you are not rebuilding at Series B.

A Platform That Keeps It Honest

What gets designed gets managed, live, accurate, and connected across every stakeholder. No manual reconciliation. No version confusion. No surprises at audit.

Guidance That Doesn't Stop at Go-Live

Equity is not a one-time event. It evolves with every round, every hire, every exit. Our team stays alongside you, because the questions that matter most usually come after the platform is set up.

What We Stand For

Four Values. Written for the Hard Moments, Not the Easy Ones.

Integrity

Every cap table number, every grant record, every valuation we touch is accurate. Not approximately accurate. Not reconciled later. Accurate now.

Clarity

Equity is layered, technical, and easy to misunderstand. We consider our job done only when the founder, the finance team, and the employee on the other end of a grant letter all understand what they hold, and what it means.

Precision

Equity errors are quiet until they are not. A wrong vesting date, a missed SH-6 filing, a pool size that wasn't modelled before a term sheet was signed, these compound. We build and advise with no room for ambiguity.

Ownership

Equity should be owned, fully, not just legally. That means every stakeholder understands their position, trusts the numbers, and can act on what they hold with confidence.

The Team Behind Equilay

Built by People Who Have Done This Work.

The Equilay team brings together chartered accountants, company secretaries, CFO practitioners, legal advisors, and technology builders, not as separate functions, but as one integrated team.

When you work with Equilay, you are not handed off between a sales team, an onboarding team, and a support team. You work with practitioners who understand both the platform and the equity decisions it supports.

That is a deliberate choice. And it shows in how the product is built.

Ready to Talk

If Your Equity Isn't as Clean as It Should Be, Let's Start There.

No sales pitch. No product demo before we understand your structure. Just a straight conversation about where your equity stands, and what it would take to make it right.

About the Company

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about the platform and what we do.

Both. The platform manages your equity live. The advisory team designs and validates the structure behind it. The two work together — that is the point.

Equilay is built by the Ealkay team. Ealkay is a 360° business consulting firm with 25+ years of CFO, legal, and strategic experience. Equilay applies that practitioner depth specifically to equity management for Indian private companies.

Yes. Any Indian private or unlisted company managing equity — family businesses, PE-backed firms, professional service companies setting up an ESOP for the first time — we work with all of them.

The earlier the better. Getting equity structured correctly at seed stage costs a fraction of restructuring it at Series A or later. But we also work with companies that need a cleanup before a fundraise or exit — there is no stage too late to get it right.

If your cap table lives in a spreadsheet, if your ESOP scheme has never been reviewed since it was drafted, or if your employees cannot tell you what their equity is worth today — those are the signals. Book a call and we will tell you honestly what we see.
