Here is one example of how INDAVEST has worked with a client in the past.
INDAVEST was approached by a Bangalore-based retail chain looking to expand their business. The company was looking to do two things:
- Expand their product and services offering into the online arena.
- Expand their retail business
INDAVEST VENTURES first offered this company its IT consulting services for a period of 4 months in order to effectively oversee and implement its online services solution. Indavest received a nominal fee for its services. At the end of this installment period, Indavest was given an option to buy into the online business, and therefore play an ongoing role as IT consultant and operations manager for this business. The cash infusion provided by Indavest, along with its ongoing consulting services, was enough to get this business moving with vigor, strongly and quickly in the direction of success.
As for the company’s retail business - they needed capital, and they needed business structure. INDAVEST CAPITAL evaluates the opportunity in the following steps:
- Discuss opportunity with Managing Director and team
- Builds financial models including a valuation of the business
- Assists in structuring of business plan, implementation plan, fund-raising presentation
- Assist in raising external capital for the venture
- Has a presence on Board of Directors for ongoing advice and business structure
