Ladderup

What Ladderup does

Ladderup Finance Limited is a Mumbai-based, BSE-listed (scrip code 530577) financial services firm incorporated in 1993, operating across five service verticals: venture capital, investment banking (PE and M&A advisory), debt and structured finance, special situation advisory, and wealth management. The group is structured around Ladderup Finance Limited as the listed holding/parent entity, with two wholly-owned operating subsidiaries — Ladderup Corporate Advisory Private Limited (incorporated 2007) and Ladderup Wealth Management Private Limited (incorporated 2008) — plus a CSR trust (Ladderup Foundation) and a minority stake in Annapurna Pet Private Limited. Promoter and promoter group entities (notably Quiet Enterprises LLP at 33.06%, Sonu Portfolio Services at 12.79%, and Chetan Securities at 3.09%) hold approximately 56.85% of equity, with the balance held by public shareholders; total outstanding equity was reduced to roughly 8.35mn shares following a 2024 buyback of 2,250,123 shares. The company is led by founder Sunil Badriprasad Goyal (Managing Director since 1993) and co-founder Manoj Singrodia, with Suresh Kumawat as CFO and Garima Rishi Sarda as Company Secretary and Compliance Officer.

The firm serves three primary client segments — corporate clients seeking capital raising and M&A advisory, high net worth individuals requiring wealth management, and startups/SMEs seeking venture capital and PE investment. GTM is conducted primarily through direct client engagement via dedicated contact channels ([email protected], [email protected], [email protected]) with no disclosed pricing or public rate cards. Revenue mechanics are not disclosed but are inferred to combine advisory success fees (IB, debt/structured finance, special situations), fund management economics (venture capital), and AUM-linked wealth management fees through the wealth management subsidiary. An extensive tombstone gallery on the corporate website evidences a long track record across deal types — VC, M&A, PE, equity capital markets, corporate advisory, debt finance, project finance, and structured finance — though no quantitative deal volumes or AUM figures are public.

The company is small (101–250 employees, single Mumbai office at Hallmark Business Plaza, Bandra East) and carries no disclosed technology platform, product software, or AI/ML capability. Its investor profile is dominated by the founding Goyal/Singrodia families and related promoter vehicles; recent corporate activity has centered on capital return (2024 buyback), subsidiary reorganization (NCLT-approved amalgamation of Annapurna Pet and Waterproof Corporation, step-down subsidiary intimation), and board refreshment (two new independent directors in 2024 and 2025). Ongoing tax disputes with CIT(A) for assessment years 2015-16 and 2017-18 represent a noted but unquantified compliance overhang.
