Prashant S. Nair
Founder — ex-PwC Deals Associate Director

You work directly with me — not a team of junior analysts. I have evaluated investments, run commercial due diligence, designed inorganic growth strategies, and spent a decade inside Spark Minda Group doing corporate strategy from the inside. That practitioner perspective shapes every engagement.

Who we work with

Built for lean, fast-moving investment teams

We serve three client types, each with distinct needs. All get the same senior-level attention and personal delivery.

Deal screening, sector intelligence, mini-CDDs, and target mapping for small and mid-market PE firms. Fast turnaround on live deal support. No retainer required to start.

PE services →

IB services →
03

What we deliver

Research that moves at deal speed

Fixed-fee engagements. Clear deliverables. No 80-slide decks full of frameworks.

48-Hour Deal Screen

Rapid first-pass on any acquisition target — market context, competitive position, revenue quality signals, and a clear go/no-go view. From £500.

Mini Commercial Due Diligence

Focused market-side diligence in 10–14 days. Faster and cheaper than Big 4 CDD, calibrated for deals where a £60K report is not proportionate. From £4,000.

Buyer & Target Universe Mapping

Structured longlist of 30–60 buyers or targets with rationale, acquisition history, and prioritisation — for sell-side and buy-side mandates. From £2,000.

Sector Intelligence & Deal Origination

Monthly curated acquisition target pipelines and sector notes for PE firms building a thesis in industrials, automotive, or adjacent B2B sectors. From £1,500/month.

A distinctive capability

The India–Europe corridor. We know both sides.

European and UK industrial firms entering India need someone who has actually worked inside Indian automotive and manufacturing businesses. Indian manufacturers targeting Europe need someone who speaks the language of Western investors and acquirers.

Having spent a decade inside Spark Minda — a Rs 3,500 Cr global automotive group — and seven years advising global investors on industrial assets, we bring context no purely Western or India-based advisor can replicate.
