Regarded by clients as a 'one-stop shop' for all private equity and venture capital fund mandates, Spice Route Legal has a robust offering which encompasses pre-IPO fundraising, investments, and early- and late-stage funding rounds, as well as secondary transactions, equity fundraising, and sales. With considerable experience assisting with a variety of high-value and high-profile transactions, both domestically and internationally, the group is sought after by an expanding client roster comprised of investors, promoters, and established businesses from the financial services, technology, and pharma sectors. Co-leading the practice are Praveen Raju and Mathew Chacko, both of whom are adept at handling funding rounds, acquisitions, and joint ventures, alongside investments and advisory matters. They are supported by venture capital specialist Harsh Kumra — who regularly aids on deals within the technology sector — and sustainability, alternative energy, and mobility authority Janhavi Joshi.
