Advisory and Facilitation services – its sometimes best to get a neutral and outside in view to solve some of the negotiations both in the office and outside. Use me to bounce your ideas and thoughts and get a view that combines business legacy and corporate experience.
Don’t worship the problem – lets solve it.
Investor Relations
Having built relationship and having an established credibility over the years, I could help leverage some of those connections built up with PE / venture capitalist and angel investors to help your organisation move up to the next level.
Learnings from legacy
Here is what you should know about Into the Ally and the best way to start is to share the legacy of the firm and its promoter.
Let me start my telling you a story of a family that started its businesses in the year 1835 - “Allibhoy Mohamed Chandawalla” and then for the next 5 generations went from being India’s Pioneer in manufacturing industrial leather belting - to owning India largest Tent House company “I.H. Nancy and Company” the next generation became the largest real estate owners in Bombay (Mumbai) - Landlords as they were called, closer to the 1980’s owned India’s largest Sugar factory “Krishi Valley Khandsari India Pvt Ltd” and a fleet of fishing trollers.
Personally I started at the age of 19 as a distributer of polyurethane foam. After having set it up I handed the business over to father and then moved on to join Corporate India... I am very glad I did. The 22 years of corporate experience helped broaden my horizons - the learnings were tremendous - the international exposure was awesome.
Now with the passed on knowledge and personally experienced entrepreneurship journey combined with the corporate learnings the attempt here is to work closely with start ups, coach existing ones, to be part of your learning journey and share the combined experience from both worlds to help build stronger, innovative, profitable organisations - also leverage some of the connections built up with PE / venture capitalist and angel investors to propel the organisations to the next level.
