Capital markets advisory
Capital markets advisory for Indian companies
Oogway Ventures advises Indian companies on accessing the capital markets: preparing for an IPO on the main board or the SME platforms of NSE and BSE, raising pre-IPO capital, building an institutional investor base, and raising debt from private-credit and institutional lenders.

Common questions
Capital markets: frequently asked questions
What is capital markets advisory?
Capital markets advisory helps a company raise money from public and institutional markets: equity through an IPO or pre-IPO placement, and debt from institutional lenders. It covers preparing the company, choosing the route and timing, and positioning the company with investors.
What is the difference between equity and debt capital markets?
Equity capital markets involve selling shares, through an IPO, a pre-IPO round or a later placement. Debt capital markets involve raising borrowed money from institutional lenders and investors. Most growing companies use both over time.
Should we list on the SME platform or the main board?
It depends on size, profit track record, capital need and the liquidity promoters want. NSE Emerge and BSE SME have their own eligibility rules, and an SME-listed company can later migrate to the main board if it meets the criteria. We assess which route fits.
What is a DRHP?
A Draft Red Herring Prospectus is the offer document a company files before an IPO, with SEBI for a main-board issue or with the stock exchange for an SME IPO. Most of the readiness work is about making sure the company can withstand the disclosures a DRHP requires.
Does Oogway manage the public issue?
No. Oogway prepares the company and the capital. The public issue itself is managed with a SEBI-registered merchant banker, alongside auditors and legal counsel.
