Our Services

Executing an IPO requires flawless coordination among underwriters, legal advisors, auditors, regulators, and your internal team. ASTHA provides hands-on support throughout the entire process, ensuring a smooth, successful market debut that maximizes valuation and investor confidence.

What We Offer:

• Prospectus Preparation & Pricing Strategy: We assist in drafting and refining the prospectus, ensuring it is clear, comprehensive, and compliant with regulatory standards. Our team also works with underwriters to develop a pricing strategy that balances market demand, valuation expectations, and investor appetite, optimizing the offering’s success.
• Roadshow Management & Investor Engagement: A successful IPO hinges on effective investor outreach. We plan, coordinate, and execute roadshows, connecting you with key institutional investors, fund managers, and analysts. Our team helps you deliver compelling presentations, address investor concerns, and build momentum leading up to the listing.
• Regulatory Interface & Transaction Execution: Navigating regulatory approvals can be daunting. We liaise with regulators, stock exchanges, and legal advisors to ensure all filings, disclosures, and approvals are timely and accurate. Our goal is to minimize delays, mitigate risks, and secure a seamless listing process.

Going public is just the beginning. The post-IPO phase presents a new set of challenges, from maintaining investor confidence to adapting to public market expectations. ASTHA provides ongoing support to help newly listed companies sustain growth, enhance transparency, and deliver long-term value.

What We Offer:

• Regulatory Compliance & Investor Relations Strategies: We help you establish robust compliance frameworks to meet ongoing reporting and disclosure obligations. Our team also develops investor relations (IR) strategies to foster transparency, build trust, and maintain open communication with shareholders, analysts, and the broader investment community.
• Financial Reporting Refinement: Public companies face heightened scrutiny over financial performance. We assist in refining financial reporting processes, ensuring accuracy, consistency, and clarity in earnings releases, annual reports, and regulatory filings. This includes adopting best practices in financial disclosure and enhancing investor presentations.
• Capital Market Positioning for Sustained Growth: We work with you to strengthen your capital market positioning, whether through strategic communications, earnings guidance, or capital allocation strategies. Our goal is to help you sustain investor interest, attract new capital, and achieve long-term growth in the public arena.

For publicly listed companies, accessing additional capital—whether through follow-on offerings, rights issues, or private placements—is essential for fuelling growth, reducing debt, or funding acquisitions. ASTHA provides strategic advisory and execution support to optimize these transactions and enhance shareholder value.

What We Offer:

• Follow-On Offerings: We assist in structuring and executing follow-on offerings, helping you raise additional equity capital while minimizing dilution and maximizing investor demand. Our team works with underwriters to time the offering strategically, ensuring optimal market conditions and pricing.
• Rights Issues: Rights issues allow existing shareholders to subscribe to new shares at a discount, providing a cost-effective way to raise capital. We advise on structuring the rights issue, setting subscription terms, and managing shareholder communications to ensure strong participation and success.
• Private Placements: For companies seeking targeted capital infusion without a public offering, we facilitate private placements with institutional investors, private equity firms, or strategic partners. Our team identifies suitable investors, negotiates terms, and ensures compliance with regulatory requirements.
• Capital Structure Optimization: We analyze your existing capital structure and recommend strategies to optimize debt-to-equity ratios, reduce cost of capital, and enhance financial flexibility. This may include debt refinancing, convertible instruments, or hybrid securities tailored to your growth objectives.

Mergers and acquisitions (M&A) involving public companies require a higher level of sophistication, given the regulatory complexities, shareholder scrutiny, and market sensitivities. ASTHA provides end-to-end M&A advisory tailored to the unique challenges and opportunities of public market transactions.

What We Offer:

• Identification & Evaluation of Strategic Targets: We conduct comprehensive market and competitor analysis to identify strategic acquisition targets or divestiture opportunities that align with your growth strategy. Our team evaluates financial performance, synergy potential, and integration risks to ensure the deal creates long-term shareholder value.
• Hostile Defense & Shareholder Activism Advisory: Public companies are vulnerable to unsolicited takeover bids or shareholder activism. We provide defensive strategies, including poison pills, white knight alternatives, and stakeholder communications, to protect your interests and maintain control.
• Deal Structuring & Regulatory Interface: We assist in structuring the transaction—whether it’s a merger, acquisition, or spin-off—to maximize tax efficiency, minimize regulatory hurdles, and align with shareholder interests. Our team also coordinates with regulators, legal advisors, and stock exchanges to ensure compliance and smooth execution.
• Valuation & Synergy Assessment: Accurate valuation is critical in public M&A. We conduct rigorous valuation analyses, including DCF, comparable company analysis, and precedent transactions, to determine fair value and negotiation leverage. We also assess potential synergies—cost savings, revenue enhancements, and operational efficiencies—to justify the deal’s strategic rationale.
• Post-Deal Integration Support: The success of an M&A transaction hinges on effective integration. We provide post-deal support, including operational integration planning, cultural alignment, and performance tracking, to ensure the combined entity realizes the full potential of the transaction.

We conduct rigorous due diligence—financial, commercial, legal, and operational—to uncover risks and validate assumptions. Our valuation services are rooted in international best practices, providing robust, data-backed assessments for confident decision-making.

With deep knowledge of key sectors— manufacturing, trading, services, IT, F&B and property —we develop sector-sensitive solutions that anticipate trends and leverage competitive dynamics.
