We take no supplier commissions
We accept no commission, referral fee, rebate, discount or benefit of any kind from machinery suppliers, equipment vendors, printers, converters, software vendors, implementation partners, contractors or lenders.
This is written into every engagement letter. If you ever have reason to believe it has been breached, write to the founder directly and we will refund the engagement fee in full.
We do not take equity in clients
A consultant holding equity cannot honestly advise a client not to expand. We are paid in fees, and nothing else.
Success fees, where they apply
On project funding work we offer an optional structure of a reduced upfront fee plus 0.75–1.5% of the sanctioned amount, payable on disbursement. On subsidy work the equivalent is 2–4% of sanctioned subsidy.
Where a success fee applies it is stated in the engagement letter before work begins, with the exact percentage and the trigger event. There are no undisclosed contingent fees.
What we decline
Engagements contingent on a relationship with an official, or where expediting a file through a personal contact is the expectation.
Work in sectors where we have no operating experience or benchmark data.
Projects below approximately ₹40 lakh, where our fee structure does not serve the client. We will name a district resource centre instead.
Any arrangement in which we would earn from a decision we also advised on.
Fee transparency
Indicative fee ranges are published on every service page. Final fees are fixed in the engagement letter before work starts. We do not bill by the hour, and there are no expenses beyond travel and statutory fees, which are billed at cost with receipts.
