One Platform. Every Equity Need - Covered.
Cap tables, ESOPs, compliance, and role-specific dashboards ,built for Indian private and unlisted companies. Backed by 26 years of advisory experience.
Equity Touches Everything.
Most Companies Manage It in Pieces.
No Single Owner
Legal handles one part. Finance handles another. HR manages the grants. Nobody owns the full picture ,and the gaps are where errors live.
Built Wrong from the Start
A rushed ESOP scheme. A cap table two rounds out of date. Small problems early become expensive problems at Series A.
Compliance That Comes Too Late
Gaps show up during fundraising, due diligence, or audit. By then, fixing them is slow and visible to exactly the wrong people.
Equity Employees Never Understood
Grant letters filed away. Vesting never explained. Talent walks out not knowing what they left behind.
Advisory and Platform. Working as One.
Accuracy Across Every Equity Event
Every grant, exercise, transfer, and buyback updates instantly. No manual reconciliation. No version confusion between teams.
The Right View for Every Role
Founders see ownership and dilution. Finance sees compliance schedules and tax tracking. HR manages grants. Employees see their equity. One source of truth ,four dashboards.
Expert Advisory Behind Every Decision
ESOP scheme design, cap table structuring, valuations, SHA drafting, M&A readiness ,the advisory team works alongside the platform, not separately from it.
One Connected Loop
The platform reflects what the advisory designs. Advisory, operations, and compliance move together. Nothing falls between them.
"Most equity platforms give you software. We give you software and the team that knows how to use it for your company."
- ✓ Advisory-backed ESOP scheme design
