Corporate Restructuring.
Pre-IPO restructuring puts your group into a shape that can be listed and explained to investors: the right listing entity, businesses held in clean subsidiaries, related-party arrangements regularised and shareholdings simplified. We design the structure and implement it through mergers, demergers, share swaps or transfers, conversion to a public company, and conversion or settlement of outstanding instruments.
Share transfers and conversions can typically be completed in 1–3 months, while merger or demerger schemes through NCLT commonly take 6–12 months, so restructuring should start well before the target filing date.

Pre-filing clean-up
We confirm that partly paid shares are paid up or forfeited, convertibles are converted, and holdings of promoters, directors and other specified shareholders are in demat form before the draft offer document is filed.
