Selected engagements

Recent client work.

A cross-section of engagements from the last few quarters — anonymised, sector-generic. The shape of the work repeats across stages: transaction documents drafted and negotiated, valuation and FEMA compliance coordinated, closings run end-to-end, DD across incubator cohorts. Where a client has been publicly acknowledged as a client elsewhere on this site (via a named testimonial or a press release), the shape is described the same way — we do not identify clients on this page.

Fundraise, transaction documents & compliance

Deep-tech / robotics startup

End-to-end fundraise legal advisory. Reviewed the term sheet from a strategic investor, drafted and negotiated the transaction documents (SSA, SHA and ancillaries), coordinated the Rule 11UA valuation, and ran the FEMA / FDI compliance stack through closing — including FC-GPR filings on the RBI FIRMS portal after receipt of consideration.

Startup Legal · Fundraising

Hardware / electronics startup

Fundraise legal and compliance support across investor negotiation, transaction documents and post-money regulatory filings. Coordinated with the client's auditor on the valuation certificate, drafted the closing deliverables, and closed out the FC-GPR and downstream compliance so the founders could get back to the product.

Startup Legal · Fundraising

Agri / food-tech startup

Seed-round legal and compliance support. SSA / SHA drafting, review of investor comments across two negotiation rounds, Rule 11UA valuation coordination, and closing — including the founder-vesting and reserved-matter mechanics that first-round founders often under-negotiate.

Startup Legal · Fundraising

Early-stage technology startup

Fundraise legal and compliance support with instrument selection across equity, CCDs and convertible notes. Advised on cap-table dilution and the ESOP-pool sizing, drafted the transaction stack, and coordinated the post-money regulatory filings.

Startup Legal · Fundraising

AI / analytics deep-tech startup

Multi-instrument fundraise spanning OCRD, CCD and equity — full legal and compliance stack from term sheet through closing. Handled the instrument-specific documentation quirks, the ordering of the closes, and the FEMA / ROC / TDS trail that comes with a mixed-instrument round.

Startup Legal · Fundraising

Government-backed startup incubator

Next-cohort intake advisory. Ran the legal and financial due diligence on the incoming startups and drafted the cohort's seed-stage investment agreements — aligned with the SISFS framework where applicable — so the incubator could close the cohort on standardised, defensible paper.

VC & Incubator · Due Diligence

Deeper case studies

Three longer-form engagements — a Form 13 lower-deduction certificate that freed ₹28.6 lakh on an NRI property sale, a five-week US-to-India subsidiary setup, and one India–US position memo both sides signed off — are written up in full on /case-studies. Same anonymisation policy, more of the story.
