This is what lands
in your inbox.
Two pages from an actual Deep Dive, with real numbers, clear recommendations, and the call a CFO would make. No dashboards to learn.
Four management actions, modelled side-by-side.
Discount discipline
Cap blanket discounts at 8%. Move deeper promotions to cohort- or bundle-targeted.
Media mix shift
Cut paid social by 15%. Redeploy spend into search and CRM. Cap influencer.
Inventory reset
Liquidate stock older than 180 days via bundles. Freeze long-tail reorders.
Hero-SKU price lift
Raise list price 5% on the top 6 SKUs (60% of revenue). Hold all other prices.
Two paths to the next round, with very different terms.
Raise to survive.
Continue at the current burn. The cash window forces a raise before margins have stabilised.
- Raise window
- Dec '26 – Feb '27
- Months of runway at signing
- 3 – 4 mo
- Likely valuation band
- ₹90 – ₹130 cr
- Founder dilution
- 16 – 22%
- Negotiating position
- Weak
CFO note An investor will price in the margin trend. The raise becomes a defensive event, not a growth round.
Raise to accelerate.
Run Levers A–D. Reach EBITDA break-even by Q2, then raise on a profitable growth pattern.
- Raise window
- Sep '27 – Dec '27
- Months of runway at signing
- 12 – 14 mo

- ₹220 – ₹310 cr

CFO note Same business, roughly 2× the valuation band. The highest-ROI decision in the report is simply when to raise.
A real CFO signs off
on every report.
Your numbers are sensitive. So every report is reviewed and signed off by a named, senior finance professional, not an algorithm.
We don't pretend AI replaces a CFO. We use it to make a real CFO 10× faster and 70% cheaper.
You upload your numbers.
P&L, bank statements, cap table, whatever you have.
AI structures the messy data.
In minutes, not weeks.
A senior CFO reviews everything.
Every number, every recommendation.
You get a written report in 24 hours.
Signed off by a human, every time.
Your numbers stay yours.
- Reviewed under NDA-equivalent terms
- Never used to train AI models. Ever.
- Deleted on request
- Every report signed off by a senior CFO
If something doesn't add up, we say so.
We don't fill gaps with guesses. If a number looks off, we flag it. If we don't have enough data to answer something, we tell you exactly what to send next.
