About

With over 15 years of experience in capital markets and startup advisory, I specialize in raising strategic growth capital for SMEs and large enterprises. My expertise spans across private equity, venture capital, Pre-IPO investments, and IPO listings on platforms including NSE Emerge, BSE SME, and the Mainboard. As the Founder Director at BPlan Advisors and Credalis Capital, I have successfully led multiple capital-raising mandates, enabling businesses to unlock scale, enhance valuation, and achieve public market readiness. I’ve advised diverse sectors, mentored and invested in more than 20 startups, and built deep-rooted investor networks that drive sustainable funding outcomes. My approach is hands-on, insight-driven, and execution-focused — ensuring that every funding journey is aligned with the long-term vision of the business. 📩 Open to connecting with founders, CXOs, and investors who are looking to scale, raise capital, or explore IPO opportunities.
