Chartered accountant and economist, in practice and in the classroom.
I am a Fellow Chartered Accountant, IBBI Registered Valuer for securities and financial assets, and Insolvency Professional, based in Mumbai. I hold a PhD in Economics. Over 28 years I have combined consulting with teaching: more than 500 valuation assignments, and four textbooks on finance and economics.
What I do
Financial analysis and economic reasoning applied to business decisions, transactions and restructuring.
-
Valuation
Businesses, equity and preference shares, convertible instruments, debt securities and intangible assets, for transactions, restructuring and financial reporting.
-
Insolvency and forensic reviews
Fair value and liquidation value, transaction reviews and financial analysis for resolution processes. Examination of accounting records where irregularities are suspected.
-
Advisory, assurance and social impact
Corporate finance and economic advisory. Audit and attestation through S P Das & Co. Social impact assessment and CSR advisory for companies and not-for-profit organisations.
Teaching is how I keep testing the assumptions behind a valuation—and how I learnt to explain a complex financial question plainly.
