We are not a registered stockbroker, registered investment adviser under SEBI, a portfolio manager, a merchant banker, or a collective investment scheme as defined under the Securities and Exchange Board of India Act, 1992, or any other securities law. Nothing on this Website or in our engagement process constitutes or should be construed as a regulated financial service.

• Individuals aged 18 years or older

All services are delivered pursuant to a separately executed written engagement agreement. The scope, fees, timelines, and specific deliverables for any engagement are set out in that agreement.
