About Oogway
A boutique investment banking firm for Indian promoters and investors.
Oogway Ventures is an investment banking and strategic advisory firm based in Juhu, Mumbai. We advise Indian companies, promoters and investors on IPOs and capital markets, private equity and pre-IPO funding, debt syndication and acquisition financing, mergers and acquisitions, valuation and due diligence, and special situations and stressed assets. The firm is led by two chartered accountants who have managed SEBI-registered AIFs, and a debt specialist from Vedanta's treasury.
Pre-IPO & public markets
The road to listing starts years before the bell.
Most IPOs are won or lost in the preparation. We help promoter-led businesses close the gaps in financials, governance and reporting, raise the right pre-IPO capital, and decide whether the SME platform or a main-board listing is the better route.

Before you reach out
Questions promoters ask first.
Is what I share kept confidential?
Yes. Your brief goes only to Oogway's partners. Detailed financials are exchanged once there is a signed NDA, and counterparties see information only with your approval.
What size of transaction do you work on?
Typical mandates range from ₹25 Cr to ₹500 Cr, from growth rounds and private credit to acquisitions and buyouts. If you're outside that range, brief us anyway and we'll tell you plainly whether we're the right fit.
Can you help us prepare for an IPO?
Yes. We assess IPO readiness across financials, governance, compliance and reporting, raise pre-IPO capital, build an institutional investor pipeline, and help you decide between the SME IPO route and building toward a main-board listing. The issue itself is managed with a SEBI-registered merchant banker.
How early should we start preparing for a listing?
Earlier than most promoters expect. Investors look at a multi-year track record of audited financials, governance and compliance, so the useful work often starts two to three years before the issue.
Do you only introduce investors?
No. Introductions are one step. We diagnose the situation, structure the transaction and capital stack, run the outreach, and stay through diligence, negotiation and closing.
Do you work on stressed or NPA situations?
Yes. Special situations are a core mandate: stressed balance sheets, one-time settlements, restructuring and IBC-linked opportunities, on both the promoter and investor side.
What happens after I send a brief?
A partner reviews it and comes back to you to set up a first conversation. That call is about understanding the situation. There's no obligation to engage.
