They identified a very prestigious investor, negotiated and structured the deal efficiently, and performed beyond their scope by handling all due diligence and tax planning. Will be happy to work with them on future transactions.”

Promoters Neo Hospital

> “Extremely delighted to partner with EIVA for this fund raise. Their commitment to the transaction and solution-oriented approach in navigating various regulatory and structural challenges was exceptional.”

Girish Rao MD, Vidal TPA

> “The team at EIVA assisted us in raising funds through structured debt. As a founder, selecting the right financial advisor that could guide us was extremely essential. Since having the EIVA team on board, they have truly proven that they add immense value to the client’s business and work as partners rather than professionals. Working with such an experienced team not only opened many doors for us but also prepared us to overcome the challenges along the way.”

Dr. S.S. Bansal Promoter, Metro Hospital

> “We got to engage with Rajiv and EIVA through a common friend who gave us very positive feedback and, needless to mention, our experience has been quite gratifying. As advisors, Rajiv really helped us in improving our networks and relationships and achieving the desired results in a short period of time. Rajiv has the unique capability of creating a solution satisfactory to all the parties. We wish him and EIVA all the very best and look forward to working with him in the future.”

Chandrasekhar Kandasamy Managing Partner, Stakeboat Capital

> “I have known Rajiv ji for the past few years and he is one of the few bankers who is relationship-driven and not transactional. I have observed the same trait flows down to the entire team. I have closed two investments which were showcased by EIVA, and in both instances I have found the team to be professional, aware of the details and transparent in their dealings. Due to his wealth of experience, Rajiv ji intuitively knows which deal may or may not work for you, so the deal flow from them is curated in the true sense. He is generous with his time and counsel when sought, even when there is no commercial interest flowing to EIVA.”

Japan Vyas Managing Partner, Roots Ventures

> “EIVA is not just about transaction advisory, but a relationship that goes beyond. The team from EIVA has been working with our group for the past several years and has been part of two of our fund raise exercises with AIF Capital and IFCI Venture. They have not only been effective but also passionate in their association with us. We would highly recommend them as an investment banker to anyone who is looking to raise funds through an ethical, long-term partner who stands by and guides the company through the entire fund raise process.”

Mohan Agarwal MD, Century Metal Recycling

> “I have known Rajiv for over 12 years and worked with him on several occasions during my time as MD at IDFC Securities and as founder and CEO of the fund Sixth Sense Ventures. I’ve had the pleasure of working with the EIVA team on two mandates, on both sides of the table. As investment advisors to one of our investee companies, I experienced Rajiv’s relentless negotiation skills, and as advisors to Sixth Sense for institutional fund raising, I witnessed the EIVA team’s innovation capabilities through a unique investment structure that they delivered. I look forward to a continuing relationship with the EIVA team.”

Nikhil Vora Founder & CEO, Sixth Sense Ventures

> “It has been a real pleasure working with the EIVA team, from initial contact to bringing in a successful anchor investor and the final closure of our IPO. Not only was the team available and responsive 24/7, but the senior-level attention was clear from the start and helped us navigate challenging, industry-specific issues that required true expertise. They added a lot of value in getting the public issue successfully subscribed in the turbulent financial market phase of January 2008.”

Rakesh Malhotra Director, Cords Cable Industries

> “The team from EIVA advised us in raising Series A investment into Cross Roads. Over the years that I have known them, we have been able to develop a trusted partnership. They have helped us in developing contacts and advised us even when they had no financial interest.”

Harish Lakhera CEO & Chairman, Cross Roads India Assistance

> “EIVA has handled multiple rounds of debt fund raising for several of our real estate projects and has delivered every time at exceptional terms. Their hands-on approach and strong relationships with lenders, along with expertise and experience in the industry, make them the ideal partners for us. Their continued support after delivery makes them stand out from the field.”

Neeraj Gulati MD, Assotech Realty

> “The thing that particularly stood out about Rajiv was his ability to understand our business and requirements thoroughly and structure a solution that fully addressed our needs. His ability to guide us through multiple fundraises, including FCCB, PE and strategic investments, is a testimonial to his versatile knowledge and experience base.”

Satnam Arora Joint MD, Kohinoor Foods

> “We have worked with the EIVA team on multiple rounds of debt funding from NBFCs. They have an extremely holistic and hands-on approach when dealing with the client.
