About Featured
Most founders get stuck on technical setups like data rooms during due diligence. I don't just lecture on theory; I walk you through the exact folder structures and documentation investors actually look for. My approach is to strip away the finance lingo and focus on the practical steps that keep your startup moving forward.
Navigating startup finance is often treated as a daunting task, but it should be a strategic advantage. My work focuses on bridging the gap between rigid accounting and the high-speed reality of building a business. Whether you are prepping for a funding round or struggling with compliance, I help founders take control of their numbers.
Why My Approach is Different
I am not just a CA. I am an entrepreneur who works with teams in Kochi, Kozhikode, Bengaluru, and beyond. My sessions are designed for those who find traditional finance lectures sleep-inducing.
Core Areas of Focus:
- Fundraising Support: I help you demystify term sheets, valuation, and investor data rooms so you can negotiate with confidence.
- Compliance Made Easy: Topics like Angel Tax and financial governance are broken down into plain language, ensuring you don't get caught in legal loops.
- Practical Workshops: From intensive classroom-style training for up to 30 participants to private virtual masterclasses, my workshops are interactive. We use live case studies, mock negotiations, and real-world worksheets rather than slides full of bullet points.
Flexible Delivery
I understand that the startup ecosystem is diverse. If your team is more comfortable with a mix of English and Malayalam to explain a complex tax concept, we do that. My goal is to ensure the message lands, not to prove how much jargon I know. I have presented at major events like the Money Conclave and ICAI Startup Sphere, and I bring that same high-energy, practical mindset to every private workshop I deliver. Finance is just another part of your business strategy, and I am here to make sure you have the tools to handle it.
