SME IPO Advisory
Guiding your business step-by-step to a successful IPO journey
SME IPO Advisory for Indian Founders and Promoters
An SME IPO is not just a listing event. It is the result of years of financial discipline — and most businesses are not as ready as they think.
Tanuj Keswani provides SME IPO Advisory for founders and promoters — building the financial foundation an IPO demands. Clean systems, working capital clarity, profitability that holds under scrutiny, and a board structure that instils investor confidence.
Why Most Indian SMEs Are Not IPO Ready Even When They Think They Are
The business looks profitable on paper but cannot demonstrate consistent, predictable cash generation. Investors and underwriters see through this immediately.
Profit Without Cash Flow Credibility Body
SEBI, stock exchanges, and institutional investors have one standard: financial clarity under pressure. Here are the four gaps that trip most SMEs before they get there.
1.
2.
No Systems, No Confidence Body
Manual processes, informal controls, and founder-dependent decisions signal operational risk. IPO-ready businesses run on systems, not people.

Working Capital That Doesn't Hold Body
Governance That Isn't Investor-Grade Body
Stretched debtors, undisciplined payment cycles, and inventory inefficiencies create a working capital picture that doesn't survive due diligence.
Most growth-stage SMEs don't have the board composition, independent oversight, or financial governance that listed company standards require.
How Tanuj's SME IPO Advisory Prepares a Business for Listing
SME IPO Advisory is not a checklist — it is a financial transformation. The process typically runs 12–24 months before filing and covers four critical areas.
IPO Readiness Audit Body
A complete review of financial statements, working capital position, profitability trends, and cash flow patterns — assessed against what SEBI, exchanges, and institutional investors will scrutinise.
Building IPO-Grade Financial Infrastructure Body
Financial systems, internal controls, MIS reporting, and cash flow dashboards rebuilt to the standard a listed company must maintain not just for the IPO, but permanently.
Ensuring that the profitability story the DRHP tells is supported by real, auditable cash flow — working capital optimised, debtor cycles tightened, and capital structure cleaned up.
Closing the Profit–Cash Gap Body
Investor-Grade Board Structure Body
As an Independent Director with financial expertise, Tanuj advises on board composition, governance frameworks, and the financial oversight structures that institutional investors and SEBI expect.
