About Us

Guiding Indian companies towards the public markets

A capital market advisory firm that walks promoters through every stage of going public.

Who we are

Advice that begins before the filing

Emergo Financial Intermediaries Pvt. Ltd. advises ambitious Indian companies that want to raise capital from the public. We support listings on the SME platforms of NSE and BSE as well as on the main boards of both exchanges.

Our involvement starts well ahead of the issue. We review where a company stands, close the gaps, bring together the right merchant banker, auditors and legal advisers, and remain available afterwards for compliance and a possible move to the main board.

  • Public issues on NSE Emerge and BSE SME
  • Main board listings and migrations
  • Pre-IPO funding and ongoing compliance support

Our approach

How we work

01

Candour

We say plainly whether a company is ready, and when it needs more time before it should list.

02

Clarity

Scope, schedule and fees are agreed stage by stage, so you always know what comes next.

03

Ownership

A single team carries your listing from the first conversation to listing day and the period after it.
