Advisory
Where capital meets execution.
Selective advisory for founders, investors and operating teams. The work concentrates on the seam between financing and operations — the place a career spent on both sides of the term sheet is most useful. Geographic focus: India, the UAE and the UK.
This sits apart from Dev Shop on purpose. Dev Shop is fast and technical — a working system in days. Advisory is the opposite kind of engagement: longer-term, not code-driven, and built entirely on judgment accumulated across two decades of audit, operating and capital work. Dev Shop answers "can this be built." Advisory answers the questions no machine can — where a plan quietly breaks, which number actually decides the outcome, what a term sheet is really pricing in.
