What Bathiya & Associates does

Bathiya Advisors LLP, operating as Bathiya & Associates, is an India-headquartered, LLP-structured integrated advisory firm founded in 1979 as SHBA & co. The firm delivers multidisciplinary advisory across six practice areas — Transactions (M&A tax structuring, deal advisory, diligence & documentation, valuation & modelling), Corporate Finance (capital markets, PE/debt, insolvency), Consulting (business, technology, CFO services), Regulatory (corporate law, dispute resolution, real estate/IPR), Tax (direct, indirect, international and cross-border), and Private Clients (multi-family office, succession planning). Its proprietary platforms include M&A 360°, an integrated inorganic-growth methodology combining tax, legal, regulatory, and financial diligence; PharM&A, a specialized pharma and lifescience M&A practice; an Integrated Project Management Office for public issues; and an ESG advisory framework.

The firm employs 350+ professionals with chartered accountant, company secretary, and legal credentials, operating from 16 locations across India (Mumbai headquarters plus Ahmedabad, Bengaluru, Delhi, Chennai, Hyderabad, Vadodara, Pune, Vapi, GIFT) and Dubai. It serves approximately 75+ active enterprise clients — primarily Indian mid-to-large corporates and global businesses with India exposure, plus ultra-high-net-worth families and family offices. Cross-border reach is enabled through TAG Alliances, a network of 275+ firms across 110+ countries with 22,000+ professionals. The firm holds an IBBI registration as an Insolvency Professional Entity with 100+ executed resolution plans and has advised on landmark matters including India's largest pharma M&A transactions, India's first Phase-II CCI investigation, and India's largest Japan outbound/inbound-exit transaction.

Bathiya generates revenue primarily through engagement-based professional services fees — including project-based, retainer, and multi-year contracts — across M&A advisory, tax and regulatory compliance, corporate finance, and consulting mandates. Pricing is quote-driven and tailored to scope and complexity, with no publicly disclosed fee schedule. The go-to-market motion is direct, relationship-based enterprise field sales conducted through its 16 offices and supported by TAG Alliances referrals and thought-leadership activity at industry events such as the London Institute of Banking & Finance. The firm self-positions as an AI-native integrated advisory, with embedded AI/automation and analytics capabilities within CFO services, technology consulting, and compliance workflows, though proprietary AI model development is not evidenced.
