Bengaluru based advisory firm Kayess Square Consulting has successfully closed a Rs 10 crore pre-Series A funding round, marking a significant milestone in the company’s expansion strategy. The investment round was led by Vakil Housing and saw participation from several prominent individual investors, including Parthasarathy NS, Ramakrishna, Umashankar, Raveen Sastry, Vadiraj Katti, Suresh Pillay, and Anand Narayanan.
Strategic Investment from Satisfied Clients
What distinguishes this funding round is the notable participation of clients who have directly experienced the firm’s advisory services. This client to investor conversion demonstrates strong confidence in Kayess Square’s service delivery model and future growth prospects. Such endorsements from existing clients represent a powerful validation of the firm’s capabilities and relationship centric approach to consulting.
Established Track Record
Founded in 2017 by Sathya Pramod and Shivadutt Bannanje, Kayess Square has carved a distinctive niche in India’s professional services landscape. The firm operates at the intersection of finance, governance, transactions, and law, serving a diverse clientele that includes startups, growth stage companies, and institutional investors. With a team of approximately 70 professionals comprising Chartered Accountants, Company Secretaries, lawyers, and CFAs, the firm has built expertise across multiple domains.
The company’s service portfolio encompasses mergers and acquisitions advisory, transaction support, due diligence, fractional CFO services, tax structuring, valuation services, and comprehensive risk advisory. This integrated approach enables clients to access multiple specialized services under a unified framework, addressing the increasing complexity of regulatory and financial requirements.
Growth Through Strategic Acquisitions
Kayess Square has demonstrated its commitment to inorganic growth through strategic acquisitions. In mid 2025, the firm acquired the tax compliance and advisory division of Consark Advisory Services LLP. This acquisition significantly enhanced the company’s capabilities in both domestic and international taxation, enabling it to serve larger enterprise clients with more complex requirements. The integration of Consark’s tax expertise complemented Kayess Square’s existing strengths in accounting, legal services, and financial advisory.
Deployment Strategy
The newly raised capital will be strategically allocated across several key areas. The firm plans to strengthen its core practice areas while attracting top tier talent to enhance service delivery capabilities. Building deeper domain expertise remains a priority, particularly in specialized areas of finance and governance. Additionally, Kayess Square intends to expand selectively into key business geographies, potentially pursuing further inorganic growth opportunities that align with its strategic objectives.
Market Positioning
The funding comes at a time when India’s startup ecosystem is maturing, creating increased demand for sophisticated financial and governance advisory services. As companies navigate complex regulatory environments and pursue growth through transactions, the need for integrated advisory services has intensified. Kayess Square’s comprehensive service offerings position the firm favorably to capitalize on this expanding market opportunity.
With this funding milestone, Kayess Square is well positioned to accelerate its growth trajectory and establish itself as a leading player in India’s professional services sector.
