Capital raised against promoter holdings — without diluting the operating company.
We structure and syndicate funding for promoters and founders of Indian mid-market companies — to increase stake, release personal liquidity, fund a new venture, or take out an existing pledge — using the promoter's shareholding and cash-flow entitlements as the basis of the structure rather than fresh equity in the operating business.

- Personal liquidity and new-venture funding for promoters against holdings, rentals or receivable streams
- Confidential process — the requirement is taken only to matched capital providers under a signed NCND

Where we take a promoter funding mandate.
Answers before the first call.
What is promoter funding?
Promoter funding is capital raised by the promoter or founder personally, secured against their shareholding or other entitlements, rather than raised on the operating company's balance sheet. It is used to increase stake, release personal liquidity, take out an existing pledge or fund a new venture without diluting the company.
Does promoter funding dilute the company?
No. The facility sits at the promoter level and is secured by a pledge of holdings, so the operating company's cap table is unchanged and no fresh equity is issued.
Can funding be raised against unlisted shares?
Yes, subject to a defensible valuation, cash-flow visibility and structure. Unlisted holdings typically require lower loan-to-value, tighter covenants and often a cash-flow or dividend-servicing overlay.
What ticket sizes do you work on?
Promoter funding mandates typically run from ₹5 Cr to ₹500+ Cr across India, the GCC and cross-border structures.
How confidential is the process?
Every engagement runs under a mutual NCND. The requirement is shared only with capital providers matched to the structure, and only with the promoter's approval.
