About Tigris Advisory

Built on conviction. Measured by results.

Tigris Advisory was founded on a simple belief: India’s mid-market deserves the same quality of capital advisory that large corporates receive as a matter of course. We exist to close that gap — one mandate at a time.
OUR STORY

Why Tigris exists.

India’s mid-market is the engine of the economy — thousands of creditworthy, ambitious businesses that create jobs, build supply chains, and drive growth. Yet most of them navigate capital markets with limited counsel, fragmented relationships, and no structured advisory support.

Tigris Advisory was built to change that. Founded by practitioners who have sat across the table from lenders, investors, and promoters at every stage of the capital cycle — we bring the hard-won experience of deal-making to every mandate we take on.

“We don’t just advise on capital. We get it done. That’s the difference.”

Every mandate we accept gets the full force of our attention, our relationships, and our rigor. We don’t take more mandates than we can close. That discipline is by design.

VAL.01
 

Instinct

Pattern recognition built over years of deal experience. We read markets, businesses, and capital windows that others miss — and know when to act.

VAL.02
 

Rigor

Every mandate is structured from first principles. Thorough analysis, meticulous preparation, and curated counterparty selection — so our deals reach the table ready, not rough.

VAL.03

Results

We are measured solely by what we deliver. Capital raised, deals closed, companies grown. Not presentations. Not proposals. Outcomes.

VAL.04
 

Integrity

We only take mandates we believe we can close, and we tell clients what they need to hear — not what they want to. Long-term trust is our most valuable asset.

What Drives Us

Two commitments that shape everything.

Our Vision

The most trusted capital partner for India's mid-market.

We envision a financial landscape where every creditworthy, growth-oriented business — regardless of size — has access to the right capital, structured intelligently, and delivered with the counsel it deserves.

Where ambition meets execution. That is the space Tigris Advisory owns.

Our Mission

Unlock capital for businesses that have the potential — but lack the platform.

Through sharp market instinct, rigorous financial structuring, and curated relationships with lenders, investors, and institutions — we create pathways to capital that are precise, purposeful, and built to close.

Meet the Founders

The signatories on every mandate.

Ketan Chandak

Founder

Debt & Credit

Ketan brings deep expertise in debt syndication and structured finance, with a career built at the intersection of credit markets and business advisory. His ability to read a credit situation — and know exactly which lender will respond to it — is the core of Tigris’s debt practice.

He has been involved in transactions spanning working capital facilities, term lending, and real estate finance across a range of sectors including manufacturing, retail, and services. Ketan’s approach is simple: understand the business before designing the structure.

Chirag Jhanwar

Founder

Equity & Structured Products

Chirag leads Tigris’s equity and structured products practice, bringing a sharp understanding of investor dynamics, valuation, and deal governance. His background spans equity fundraising, PE relationships, and complex capital structures across growth-stage and mid-corporate businesses.

He has guided founders through some of the most consequential conversations of their business journey — fundraising, dilution, and strategic partner selection. Chirag’s belief is that the right investor changes everything; finding that match is the work.

How We Operate

The Tigris standard.

Selective by Design

We do not take every mandate that comes our way. Selectivity is how we protect our clients and our reputation. If we accept your mandate, we mean it — and we will see it through.

Relationship-First

Our counterparty relationships are curated over years — not cold outreaches. When Tigris approaches a lender or investor, it carries weight. That access translates directly to better outcomes for our clients.

Aligned Incentives

Our fee model is built around success. We win when you close. That alignment shapes every decision we make — from which mandates we take, to how we structure and position each deal.
