Kayess Square Consulting Secures ₹10 Crore Pre-Series A Funding to Accelerate Global Advisory Expansion
What is the news?
Kayess Square (KS2) Consulting, a prominent Bengaluru-based firm specializing in finance, risk, governance, and transaction advisory, has announced the successful closure of its Pre-Series A funding round. The firm raised ₹10 crore in a round led by Vakil Housing, with significant participation from high-profile angel investors including Parthasarathy NS and Raveen Sastry. Founded in 2017 by Sathya Pramod (former CFO at Tally) and Shivadutt Bannanje, Kayess Square has evolved from a boutique firm into a comprehensive institutional platform for high-end advisory services.
Why is it interesting?
The fresh infusion of capital arrives at a strategic juncture for the company. Having recently integrated the tax compliance and advisory division of Consark Advisory Services—a move that significantly expanded its footprint in the US and EMEA markets—Kayess Square is now focused on deepening its domain expertise. The firm aims to leverage this funding to attract top-tier talent and expand its “fractional CFO” and M&A advisory platforms, which are increasingly critical for Indian-origin founders building global companies.
As global regulatory environments become more complex, Kayess Square is positioning itself as a vital partner for growth-stage companies and investors. By combining the “intellectual capital” of India with technology-driven delivery models, the founders are proving that Indian consulting firms can lead the narrative in the global knowledge economy. The firm has already executed over 4,000 projects, signaling a strong trajectory toward becoming a global leader in professional services.
