Our Story

Born from a Belief That Mid-Market Deserves World-Class

Stratnest Advisors LLP was founded with a conviction: that India's ambitious mid-market enterprises deserve the same calibre of strategic counsel that global firms offer — without the complexity, the inaccessibility, or the indifference that often accompanies large consulting engagements.

Mentored by CA Neeraj Chaturvedi and Led by CA Ravi Kant and CA Kushal Saxena — partners with a combined 50+ years of experience across financial advisory, M&A, capital markets, and business transformation — Stratnest was built to be different. Not just advisors, but partners embedded in your journey, accountable for outcomes.

From our foundations in strategic finance and governance, we've grown into a comprehensive advisory house spanning strategy, capital, operations, and technology across manufacturing, defence, infrastructure, technology, and services.
