A first-generation promoter in Uttar Pradesh needed a comprehensive DPR to secure a βΉ120Cr term loan from SBI for a greenfield steel processing facility. Previous attempts with local CAs had resulted in two rejections from the bank's appraisal committee.
Rebuilt the feasibility from the ground up β market demand validation, technology comparison, vendor quotes, detailed cost estimates, 10-year financial projections with DSCR analysis, and environmental clearance roadmap. The DPR served as the Promoter's definitive investment decision document from which the bankable project report was extracted.
A state government concessionaire engaged Stratnest mid-project after the original contractor fell 14 months behind schedule due to coordination failures and cost overruns of βΉ28Cr. Lender reporting obligations were at risk.
Onboarded as Owner's Engineer, performed root-cause analysis, restructured the construction schedule using CPM, replaced two under-performing sub-contractors, and implemented daily progress tracking with escalation protocols and weekly lender MIS.
A B2B SaaS company had strong product-market fit and βΉ12Cr ARR but lacked a structured fundraising narrative, investor-ready financial model, and institutional-quality data room. Previous informal investor conversations had not converted.
Rebuilt the financial model from unit economics upward, restructured the equity narrative around SaaS metrics, produced a full CIM and pitch deck, and ran a structured investor process targeting mid-market PE and growth equity funds. Managed the full due diligence lifecycle.
A mid-market engineering company wanted to enter defence manufacturing through a technology partnership with a European OEM. They needed JV structuring, Technology Transfer (TOT) agreement advisory, and DPIIT Industrial Licence β with no prior defence sector experience.
Navigated the regulatory framework from entry assessment to licence grant β structured the JV term sheet, advised on TOT scope and IP protections, prepared the DPIIT licence application, and supported the first defence procurement bid. DPIIT licence granted; first tender submitted within 18 months.
A north Indiaβbased FMCG company wanted to acquire a regional food brand in Maharashtra to gain immediate distribution and brand equity in western markets. They had no M&A experience and needed end-to-end advisory.
Led the full buy-side process β target approach, management presentations, financial due diligence, valuation (DCF and EV/EBITDA comparable), deal structuring with an earn-out mechanism, and SPA review. Post-acquisition integration plan supported revenue synergy capture within 12 months.
A pharmaceutical manufacturing company with βΉ28Cr revenue wanted to list on BSE SME to fund a capacity expansion and provide partial promoter liquidity. Corporate governance, related party transactions, and restated financials all required preparation.
Led a 14-month IPO preparation process β corporate restructuring, related party cleanup, three-year Ind AS restatement, pre-IPO valuation, DRHP financial disclosures, investor roadshow presentation, and anchor investor communication strategy. Issue closed 4.8x oversubscribed on Day 1.
A family-run automotive components group had grown to βΉ120Cr revenue but operated without institutional financial controls, monthly MIS, or board reporting. PE investors had flagged governance as a key concern in two prior conversations.
Deployed a Virtual CFO engagement β redesigned chart of accounts, implemented monthly management accounts, built cashflow forecasting, established board reporting, and restructured the finance team. Within 9 months, the company received its first PE term sheet.
A B2B services company had plateaued at βΉ18Cr revenue for two consecutive years. Promoters believed the product was strong but were unsure whether the constraint was sales, pricing, geography, or product positioning.
Deployed our 4D Growth Methodology β diagnosed the constraint as channel mix and pricing structure, redesigned the go-to-market for enterprise clients, repriced the core product, and launched two adjacent markets. Embedded implementation support across the sales team for 12 months.
An agro-processing cooperative in UP wanted to establish a food processing facility and access NABARD's Agri Infrastructure Fund for grant funding. They needed a DPR meeting NABARD's specific appraisal criteria as the primary investment decision document for the cooperative's management board.
Prepared a comprehensive DPR covering crop availability analysis, technology selection, processing capacities, cold chain integration, financial projections, and ESG impact assessment. The DPR served the cooperative board as the go/no-go investment document, with the NABARD grant application extracted from it.
