What else distinguishes Firstcall India Equity Advisors from other private investment banking and private equity advisory firms?

We focus on a range of companies that are being underserved by Dalal Street and by the big commercial banks playing the consolidation game. Bank consolidation has reduced the number of lenders in the marketplace, and the big banks that remain are less inclined to work with small and medium-size corporations. Regulatory changes permitting regional and national banks, and the blurring of the distinction between commercial and investment banks, have accelerated the trend to bigger entities that pay less attention to the smaller and local corporations that we serve.
In addition, our equity expertise give us a further incentive to increase the value of our portfolio partners in every way we can.
