Interdisciplinary execution. Measurable impact.The people you meet are the people who deliver.

Seven disciplines held under a single mandate. No headline partner, no rotating bench, no gaps between advisers for you to manage.

First conversations are free, and we'll tell you honestly if we're not the right fit.

Where we work

Four things we're brought in for

A stock exchange, a foreign shelf, or India for the first time.These are the situations people call us about. What we bring to them comes further down.

Going public

Ready long before the filing

Preparing a business for the scrutiny of a public offering. The structure, the numbers, the governance, and the people you'll need around the table.

What that covers
1
Listing readiness
Group structure, restated financials, governance and internal controls, with an honest view of the gaps and a plan to close them.
2
Private and pre-IPO capital
Introductions to banks, institutions, family offices and strategic investors, well ahead of the filing.
3
The people around the table
Merchant bankers, counsel, auditors and registrars chosen and coordinated, the data room run, and reporting kept up once the shares are trading.
4
Life after listing
Reporting, disclosure and investor communication once the shares are actually trading.
Going global

Selling into new countries

Finding the right buyers abroad and getting your product to them, with the certification, labelling and customs work handled before it becomes a problem.

What that covers
1
North America
Distribution, retail and online channels, and the compliance route into the US and Canada.
2
Europe
Retailers, private label and e-commerce, with EU labelling, food safety and product rules covered.
3
Africa
Industrial and mobility supply chains. Sourcing, assembly, distribution and institutional buyers.
4
Protecting the brand there
Trademarks, patents and design rights registered in each market before somebody else files them.
Coming to India

Landing on the ground here

India is signing trade agreements faster than ever, and the door is open wider than most founders abroad have noticed. We help you come through it.

What that covers
1
Choosing how to enter
Sell direct, appoint a distributor, licence, partner or set up your own entity, all costed honestly.
2
Setting up properly
Incorporation, the FDI route, tax registration, approvals and the compliance that follows.
3
Building and developing here
R&D structured so the output lands in the right entity, with the documentation an incentive claim will need.
4
Finding your first customers
Distributors, retailers, institutional buyers and the local partners actually worth knowing.
Staying compliant

The standards that gate everything

Environment, health and safety rules decide whether a plant opens, a shipment clears and a listing goes through. We keep them ahead of you, not behind.

What that covers
1
Consents and clearances
Environmental approvals for new or expanding sites, and the conditions that follow them.
2
Health and safety systems
Risk assessment, audits and ISO 14001 or 45001 readiness, run with your certifying body.
3
Reporting and disclosure
BRSR before a listing, and EU carbon border and deforestation rules if you export.
4
Consents through a transaction
Re-issuing approvals in the right name when an entity, a site or an owner changes.
Free tool

Our approach

Diligence reads all of it at once

Your tax position depends on where the IP sits. Your regulatory exposure depends on which entity signed.Handled by separate advisers, each piece looks fine. Read together, the gaps show.

Intellectual property × Taxation

Where the IP sits decides what you pay

A brand or patent held in the wrong entity turns a routine royalty into a transfer pricing question, and then into a disclosure in the offer document. The decision was usually taken years earlier by someone not thinking about tax.

Contracts × Regulation

Which entity signed decides what is licensed

Export contracts signed by a group company that never held the licence leave a compliance history somebody has to explain. It rarely surfaces until a diligence team maps every contract against every approval.

Environment × Restructuring

A consent belongs to an entity, not a plant

Consents and waste authorisations are issued to a named company, not to a plant. Move the asset in a merger or a slump sale and the approval does not travel with it. The line runs unconsented until a buyer or an inspector asks.

Restructuring × Cap table

An old reorganisation shows up at filing

A merger or share transfer done cleanly under one set of rules can still leave promoter classification, lock-in or related party positions that read badly years later. Unwinding it late is expensive.

How the pieces run together Twelve of the twenty-one possible pairings change the answer in both directions. Line weight is what the finding costs. Select an arc to read it.

Select an arc Twelve pairings, nine gaps

Each arc joins two disciplines where a decision taken in one changes the correct answer in the other. The nine pairings listed below the line are the ones we would not expect to interact.

Can stop the transaction
IPR × Restructuring

Brands or patents held outside the listing entity have to be brought in. That transfer is itself a taxable and disclosable event.

Regulation × Restructuring

Many licences and consents are not transferable. A merger can void an approval the plant is still operating under.

Funding × Restructuring

Rights granted in an early round, and any reorganisation since, decide who is classified as promoter and what gets locked in.

Material finding
Sales × Regulation

An export contract signed by a group company that never held the licence leaves a compliance history somebody has to explain.

Sales × Taxation

Sustained selling activity abroad can create a taxable presence in that country years before anyone files a return there.

IPR × Taxation

A royalty between group entities is a transfer pricing position. Where the mark is registered decides how defensible it is.

Restructuring × Taxation

Tax neutrality on a scheme of arrangement is fixed when the scheme is drafted, not when it is filed.

Disclosure point
Sales × Restructuring

Distribution and supply agreements carry change-of-control clauses. A reorganisation can hand a counterparty the right to walk.

IPR × Innovation

R&D funded by one entity but assigned to another leaves the resulting IP outside the group that paid for it.

Innovation × Taxation

Weighted deductions depend on which entity recorded the spend and how the activity was documented at the time.

Regulation × Taxation

Indirect tax registration follows the regulatory footprint. A site operating under one and not the other is a live exposure.

Funding × Taxation

Instrument choice between equity, preference shares and debentures changes both the tax position and the cap table.

We prepare a business for the diligence a merchant banker will run. The banker certifies readiness and signs the filing. Our job is to make sure there is nothing left for them to certify around.

How we help

Seven areas, one team

The same seven from the approach above. This is what we actually do inside each of them, and why no one of them is bought on its own.

01

Sales into domestic and international markets

Finding the buyers and getting the product in front of them.

  • Country and channel screening for a given product
  • Which products to lead with, and how to position them
  • Landed cost, duties and freight, worked out properly
  • Incoterms, logistics routing and customs classification
  • Counterparties found, vetted and brought to the table
  • Supply, distribution and licensing agreements
  • Distributors, retailers and institutional buyers in India

  • Trademark and patent filing strategy, territory by territory
  • Where the IP sits in the group, and what moving it costs
  • Licensing and royalty arrangements between group entities
  • Brand protection and enforcement in export markets
  • Freedom to operate checks before entering a new market

Working together

How a project usually runs

Every stage gives you something you can act on. And if the honest answer is "don't do this", we'll say so early.

Stage 1

We get specific

We work out what you're actually deciding, and which of the other areas that decision moves. A market, a product, a structure, a listing. Then we agree what a real answer would need to cover.

Stage 2

We test the idea

Costed and modelled, then read across every area it touches rather than just the obvious ones. You get a recommendation, not a menu of options.

Stage 3

We take it on

A retained mandate with named senior people. Monthly evidence of work rather than slideware, a live view of the pipeline, and a proper quarterly review. Availability, not billable hours.

Stage 4

We open doors

The right counterparties found, qualified and brought to the table, with meetings and negotiations coordinated end to end.

Stage 5

We stay on

We don't disappear after the signature. Part of our fee depends on transactions actually completing, so we want the same thing you do.

Being clear

What we do, and what we don't

Advisers vague about their limits tend to be vague about accountability.Here's ours, in plain terms, written into every engagement we sign.

What we do

  • Advise, model and recommend a course of action
  • Find, check and introduce the right counterparties
  • Coordinate your bankers, lawyers, auditors and consultants
  • Run the programme, the timetable and the reporting
  • Stay with the relationship long after the introduction

What we leave to others

  • Anything needing SEBI registration, such as lead management, underwriting, book building, placing or marketing securities
  • Legal opinions, statutory audit sign-offs and registered valuations
  • Manufacturing, shipping, or acting as importer or exporter of record
  • Signing contracts on your behalf without written authority
  • Promising approvals, sales volumes or a listing outcome, because nobody can
About us

Experience you'll meet, not a brochure

Highly experienced individuals from regulation, public administration,corporate finance and trade, now on your side of the table.

Agentic Sprints Private Limited is a financial and management consultancy incorporated under the Companies Act, 2013, working out of Andheri East in Mumbai. We advise on corporate and financial matters, run feasibility studies for businesses setting up in India and abroad, and help clients build the commercial relationships those plans depend on.

We work quietly by design. Our people have held positions where discretion was the condition of the work, and that habit hasn't left us. It's why you won't find a wall of profiles on this page. You will meet the individuals on your mandate before you sign anything, and their credentials are yours to examine in full at that point.

There is no delegation tier. The people you meet are the people doing the work, and the same people put their names to every monthly update you receive.

We usually work exclusively within an agreed territory and product line. That's deliberate. It's what makes it worth building relationships properly rather than chasing a single transaction and moving on.

Public administration
Careers spent inside government and regulatory bodies, with people who know how a file actually moves.
Corporate finance
Capital structure, restructuring and public-market readiness, from people who have taken companies through it.
International trade
Market entry, distribution and cross-border compliance across three continents.
Law and regulation
Corporate law, taxation and sector regulation, so you know early which door a matter has to go through.

Confidentiality runs both ways. What we hold back about ourselves is the same discretion we apply to your business, your counterparties and your intentions.

Get in touch

Tell us the decision you're stuck on

Four things help us give you a useful answer straight away, instead of spending the first meeting working out the basics.

  • What you make. The product or service at the centre of this.
  • Where you want to take it. A market to sell into, or a listing.
  • What's been tried already. Including anything that didn't work.
  • What's driving the timing. A deadline, a deal, an opportunity closing.

Every enquiry is read by one of the principals, and we reply within two working days. If it isn't something we can add value to, we'll tell you that plainly.

We treat everything you send as confidential and never share it.
