Twelve questions. Answer honestly — this is a mirror, not a test. Your score tells you whether you're close, what the gaps are, and how long the runway probably is.
Enter your details and your personalised readiness score — with what each gap means for your timeline — appears instantly. A partner can also walk you through it on a free 15-minute call.
We never share your details. One follow-up call, only if you want it.
Indicative only — a starting point for conversation, not a legal opinion on eligibility. Exchange rules change; final eligibility is tested against the rules in force when you file.
We test you against the exchange criteria — paid-up capital, profitability track record, net worth, leverage, demat holding — and map every gap red, amber, green. You get an honest go or no-go on the timeline, not a sales pitch.
Read the stage detail →Three years of financials restated to an audit-and-diligence standard — related-party cleanups, revenue-recognition discipline, provisions that hold up, contingent liabilities disclosed. This is where most timelines are won or lost.
Read the stage detail →Board composition, audit and nomination-remuneration committees, independent directors, KMP appointments, and the policy stack a listed company needs — built before anyone asks for it.
Read the stage detail →Capital structure, promoter holding and lock-in planning, ESOP pool sizing, pre-IPO placement strategy. Structured once, structured right — a messy cap table is the most expensive thing to fix late.
Read the stage detail →A data room that answers questions before they are asked — legal, financial, secretarial, tax. Bankers and investors notice the difference immediately, and diligence moves in weeks instead of months.
Read the stage detail →We introduce the right SEBI-registered merchant banker for your size and sector, then own the calendar from your side of the table: DRHP drafting inputs, exchange queries, timelines.
Read the stage detail →Issue execution support, then the part nobody talks about: your first year of listed-company compliance — quarterly filings, disclosures, board processes — handled.
Read the stage detail →A merchant banker runs the issue. That's their job, and they're good at it. Our job is everything before that conversation — and everything the banker assumes is already done.
Because we're independent of the issue, our advice has no conflict: if you're not ready, we'll tell you that, with a dated plan to get ready. A banker paid on listing can't always say that.
Twelve to twenty-four months from a standing start, depending on how much restatement and governance work your books need. Companies that start "a few months before filing" are the ones whose timelines slip by a year. The scorecard gives you an honest twelve, eighteen, or twenty-four month read.
The scorecard above is free. The full diagnostic — a fixed-scope engagement ending in a dated, red/amber/green remediation plan — is quoted after one conversation, once we know your size and complexity. Phases are fixed-fee, so cost tracks visible progress, not open-ended hours.
We do independent valuation work for transactions, ESOPs, and regulatory needs — defensible in a diligence room. The issue price itself is the merchant banker's domain; we coordinate with them and keep your side of the table honest.
If your post-issue paid-up capital is ₹25 crore or less, the SME route — BSE SME or NSE Emerge — is your platform. Above that, it is the mainboard: a different game with different thresholds, and a different preparation.
It is the most common starting point we see — and exactly what Stage 02 exists for. Profitability gets you eligible; clean, restated books get you listed. Most restatement work starts with profitable companies whose books were never built for scrutiny.
Take the scorecard, then let's talk about the gaps — with a dated plan, not a sales pitch.
