Capital Advisory

We raise capital for the companies building India's hard infrastructure.

Equity, debt, structured and public-private partnership mandates from ₹25 lakh to ₹100 crore — researched, structured and run on a process you can see.

What we do

Four kinds of mandate

Equity raises

Seed to growth equity from angels, family offices, venture and private equity funds and strategic investors. We prepare the information memorandum, model and data room, build a named investor shortlist and run the process to closing.

Debt and project finance

Term loans, construction finance, equipment finance and working-capital lines from banks, NBFCs and development finance institutions — supported by bankable project reports from WA Research.

Structured capital

Convertible instruments, mezzanine, revenue-share and blended structures that combine private capital with government incentives — so founders raise what they need without giving away more than they should.

PPP and project structuring

Bid financial models, consortium formation and special-purpose-vehicle design for public-private partnerships — the same work we did for two parking projects in Gurugram for a leading national developer.

The capital stack

The right capital, not just more of it.

Hard-infrastructure companies fall between two kinds of investor. Venture capital wants asset-light growth and discounts capex. Banks want collateral and three years of profits and discount founders. Our job is to build a stack that both can accept.

For each of our sectors we publish a WA Capital Stack — the combination of equity, debt, subsidy and offtake that typically works for that kind of asset. We start every mandate from that template and adapt it to your company.

A typical stack for a new infrastructure asset

  • Promoter and investor equity — usually 25–40% of project cost
  • Term debt from banks or NBFCs — usually 50–70%
  • Government incentives — capital subsidies, interest subvention, tax and duty relief where eligible
  • Offtake or concession contracts — what makes the debt bankable

Every project is different; the right proportions depend on cash flows, collateral and contract quality.

How a mandate runs

From first call to closing in 14–22 weeks

Every mandate follows the same published process on the WA Deal Room.

1 · Conversation

Fit and conflict check

A first call with a partner, a conflict check and a short note on whether we can help and how.

2 · Mandate

Signed scope and fees

A mandate letter with our scope, timeline and fees in writing — no surprises later.

3 · Diligence

We test the story

Business, financial and technical diligence with our empanelled sector experts.

4 · Structure

The capital stack

Financial model, sensitivities and the recommended mix of instruments.

5 · Market

Investors and lenders

Invite-only outreach to a named shortlist, data room, Q&A and site visits.

6 · Close

Terms to money

Term-sheet comparison, negotiation, documentation and closing — then quarterly reporting.

Published fees

Our fees, before you ask.

Transparency starts with our own pricing. These are our indicative fees for 2027; the final fee for each mandate is agreed in writing before any work begins.

ServiceHow we chargeIndicative range (plus GST)
Engagement retainerPer mandate, payable in stages; adjusted against the success fee₹1.5 lakh – ₹7.5 lakh
Equity raiseSuccess fee on capital raised1.5% – 3%
Debt raiseSuccess fee on sanctioned facilities0.75% – 1.5%
PPP bid and structuringFixed fee per bid, plus success fee at financial closeAgreed per project
DPRs and feasibility studiesFixed fee₹5 lakh – ₹40 lakh

We act for the company raising capital. Our fee is paid by the company and disclosed to every investor we approach. We do not accept undisclosed payments from investors.

What we will not do

  • We do not offer securities to the public. Every raise is a private placement to a limited, invited group of investors.
  • We do not hold or pool investor money. Funds move directly from investors to the company, or through a bank escrow.
  • We do not give investment advice to investors on the deals we arrange for companies.
  • We do not take mandates we cannot diligence properly, or where a conflict cannot be managed.
Is your company ready?
We usually work with companies that have a working product or a defined project, at least one customer, offtaker or concession in sight, and audited or auditable accounts. If you are earlier than that, look at RUNWAY.
