Matrix Model - A client’s needs define the type of team that works on each Advisory. The Dutt Capital Advisors Proprietary “Matrix” Team model is now considered an industry benchmark. This model (developed over a decade of experience and inputs from clients) establishes that in the Indian scenario, any M&A advisory requires: Sector Specialization, Functional Specialization and Company/Management Specialization. To achieve this balance, we have done away with rigid “Practice” teams (which is a norm in the M&A business. Instead, we treat each assignment as unique and bring together “matrix” teams that include a sector, functional and a company specialist in each search. That enables finding solutions that don’t just meet specified variables but have been tested on their ability to fit and perform within the cultural and organizational limits and nuances of our clients Independent Unconflicted Advice - The quality of advice lays the foundations of any transaction. Our advice is independent of any other interests like equities, research, trading, proprietary investments and free of conflicts of interest from performing multiple layers of functions and relationships that most big investment banks have. Advisory is not “part” of our offerings. It is our offering Principal Advisory – Each client has the benefit of the direct involvement of the principals of the firm. That brings to the table the experience and negotiating skills of each partner rather than just the “name” of the partner Knowledge & Experience - Deep knowledge of the Indian market, companies and Promoters/founders – Our advisory experience is unique because it leverages our unmatched knowledge, networking and the reputation we enjoy in the market Boutique nature – Since we don’t have multiple relationships with our clients, we have no “conflicts of interest”. For example a bigger investment bank may have so many cross relationships with local companies that he may not be independent in his advice Negotiation – Having us on your side of the table itself conveys the message that negotiating with you will not be a walkover. But knowing the markets also means, we know when to tell our client to leave something on the table Credibility - Our long term working relationships and credibility with Institutional Investors – Since 1996, we have been helping Indian companies create value by increasing their institutional shareholders. Our relationships and credibility with Institutional Investors (both domestic and foreign) is simply unmatched
