Chetan Gandhi & Associates

What Chetan Gandhi & Associates does

Chetan Gandhi & Associates is a privately held, Mumbai-based professional services consultancy founded in 2013 by Chetan Gandhi alongside associates Shailesh Parmar (Chartered Accountant) and H. Kumar Vaidyanathan (Advocate). The firm delivers an integrated advisory practice spanning four pillars: Corporate Secretarial Services (incorporation, M&A, due diligence, AGM/EGM convening, corporate restructuring), Legal Services (drafting, litigation, arbitration, and representation before SEBI, SAT, RBI, Company Law Board, ROC, DRT, and tax tribunals), Compliance Services (SEBI/RBI/stock exchange/ROC compliance, secretarial audits, corporate governance advisory), and Finance Services (audit and assurance, domestic and international taxation, FEMA/RBI advisory, business valuation, and financial systems design). Management services covering HR policy, performance appraisal, and IT compliance round out the offering.

The firm's revenue model is professional services — quote-based engagements combining one-time projects (incorporations, audits, due diligence) with ongoing advisory relationships. It sells directly to enterprise clients through professional networks, referrals, and the founder's prior in-house relationships, with no disclosed marketing spend, channel partnerships, or technology platform. Customer logos span financial services (NSDL, Barclays, Edelweiss, Future Capital, Bahrain Financial Exchange), banking (Apna Sahakari Bank, Oriental Bank of Commerce, Indian Overseas Bank), aviation (Air India, Bharat Aviation), manufacturing (Danaher Motion), and education (Vivek Education Society). The firm claims cross-border advisory reach to clients in India, the United States, the United Kingdom, Singapore, and the Gulf region.

Operationally, the firm runs on a lean 5-person headcount (3 professional core plus support), has no proprietary technology, no disclosed funding or institutional capital, no parent company, and no subsidiary structure. It is founder-led with no external shareholders indicated. Geographic delivery beyond India appears advisory-on-demand rather than through staffed international offices. No AI, automation, or software product layer is part of the current offering.
