About Smart Advisors
Emerging from an idea in 2009 to becoming one of India’s leading early stage advisory firms – our entrepreneurial journey has been a roller coaster. Using our varied background from finance, consulting and entrepreneurship, we have focused our services to helping early stage companies grow.
This could be in the form of assistance to raise funding, or figuring out the right avenue for the entrepreneur to take to reduce pitfalls in their journey, or even simply setting up processes. We have a strong team backing us, each of whom have an entrepreneurial bent of mind – who will work closely with the entrepreneurs to provide maximum impetus for success.
