About us

Who we are?

India-focused, with a cross-border lens.

Goldstone Advisory is a partner-led M&A and capital advisory firm for founders, promoters, and shareholders — on the decisions that shape a company’s next decade.

With 10+ years across Big 4, our team draws on a network of global and domestic investors and industry experts to create maximum impact for every stakeholder in a deal.

We are deliberately small. Every mandate is run by the principals themselves, bringing Big 4 deal advisory rigor directly to your transaction. No pyramid, no handoffs — the person you meet first is the person who closes the deal.

Our story

Goldstone was founded on a simple belief: mid-market founders deserve the same rigor and attention that large corporates get from bulge-bracket banks — without the layers in between.

Our principals built their craft inside Big 4 deal advisory practices, where the difference between a good outcome and a great one often came down to how carefully the numbers and structure were tested before a deal ever reached the table — but those same layers, built to add rigor, often added friction instead. Goldstone exists to keep the rigor and cut the layers.

We also saw the other side of the market. As new India-focused funds and family offices scaled up, many found the harder problem wasn’t capital — it was finding the right asset. Good targets don’t sit in a data room waiting to be found; they surface through relationships, sector context, and a willingness to dig before a process is even announced. That’s the gap we built our origination approach around.

Today, the principals themselves lead every mandate — from the first conversation, through diligence and negotiation, to the final signature.

01 — What we do

For Founders &Promoters

Selling a business, taking on a growth partner, or raising capital is likely a once-in-a-lifetime decision for you — but it’s the work we do every day. We help you understand what your business is genuinely worth, who the right buyer or investor actually is, and how to run a process that protects both value and confidentiality.

For promoters looking beyond a sale, we also open access to international partners seeking joint ventures and technology-transfer arrangements — routes to scale that don’t require giving up control. Our role is to give you the same rigor and market access that larger companies take for granted, without adding layers of committee or process in between.

02 — What we do

For Investors &Funds

We bring you sourced, sector-vetted opportunities — not names off a database. Every mandate we run is led by the principals themselves, backed by a proprietary origination framework built to surface the right asset before a process is even announced.

For global investors and strategics entering India, we function as a ready-made execution engine on the ground — local sourcing, diligence coordination, and negotiation support — so you can scale into the market without first having to build that infrastructure yourself. Whether you’re a PE fund, family office, or corporate looking to grow inorganically in India, we work as an extension of your origination team, not just a transaction intermediary.
