About FESME

An advisory built around the people who build businesses.

We're a boutique financial advisory firm focused on SME and mid-market enterprises across India — bringing institutional-grade rigor to founder-led businesses that deserve more than off-the-shelf banking.

Our story

FESME was founded on a simple observation: the SME and mid-market segment — the backbone of Indian industry — is consistently underserved by the financial advisory ecosystem. The sharpest M&A bankers, the most experienced credit advisors, and the deepest lender networks have historically been reserved for the largest corporates.

We set out to change that. FESME brings the same institutional rigour that large corporates take for granted — financial models, info memos, lender benchmarking, term sheet negotiation — to companies in the ₹50 Cr to ₹1,000 Cr revenue range, who often need it the most.

Our values

Independence. We're paid by clients, not lenders. Our advice is unconflicted.
Discretion. Every mandate is handled under strict confidentiality from day one.
Substance over polish. Bank-grade work product, not glossy decks. Our deliverables stand up to the most demanding credit committees.
Skin in the game. Our success fees are tied to closure. We win when you do.
