We have used Smart Advisors as our consultants to identify good investment opportunities in India, especially in the startup segment. They have presented to us really good opportunities and they have done a thorough analysis before they brought them to us. We are very satisfied with the quality of their service.

KumarChairperson, Bharat Mandi
Working with Smart Advisors has been absolutely wonderful. They were recommended to me by multiple friends of mine and I do not regret my decision at all. When I was looking for someone to help us with our business planning and fund raising, the most important criteria for us was someone that we could trust. The fact that we operate from two different cities was also a concern for us, but the transparency, continuous feedback and overall focus on our account without requiring any sort of follow-up has made us very comfortable knowing that we can focus on our business while we have someone on our side looking after our growth needs. I would strongly suggest Smart Advisors to anyone looking for such services.

Christie FernandezCEO, Sooorya
