Client Rating
— Adv. Pooja Terwad, Founder & Principal Advisor
Every vertical feeds into the others. Your term sheet, cap table, governance framework, and compliance filings move as one coordinated operation.
We negotiate, structure, and close fundraising transactions — term sheets, SHAs, SSAs, secondary sales, and venture structuring with partner-level involvement.
Dilution modelling, vesting design, ESOP pools, and liquidity pathways that protect founder equity through Series D and beyond.
Decision rights, founder protections, investor relations, and board composition — so control stays where it belongs from seed through scale.
Legal, CA, CS unified. Entity structuring, FEMA/FDI compliance, corporate secretarial, RBI filings, MCA returns. One team. Zero gaps.
Legal, financial, and tax diligence. Data room build. Valuation reports. Full transaction coordination — so investors have zero reason to pause.
For foreign businesses entering India. Entity setup, regulatory mapping, FDI compliance, local governance, and ongoing secretarial and tax compliance.
Funded founders, capital-deploying investors, and global businesses entering India. Each gets a purpose-built advisory path.
The term sheet is on the table and you need someone who's been across that table hundreds of times before.
You need counsel on your side of the table — not a firm that also represents the founder across it.
Entity structure, regulatory compliance, and governance — without five vendors and three conflicting opinions.
"Before we move documents, we align incentives. We negotiate from position, not pressure. And we stay at the table for every decision that matters."
Most advisory firms optimise for volume — wide menus, high client counts, junior-led execution. We took the opposite path. Focused roster. Partner-level attention. Integrated advisory across legal, financial, tax, and governance — the model firms like Gunderson Dettmer built for Silicon Valley, adapted for India's venture ecosystem.
Legal, financial, tax, governance — one coordinated unit. Not four firms.
Principal advisor from first call to final signature. No handoffs to juniors.
We don't scale through volume. We stay close and stay useful.
Strategy before drafting. Negotiation at the structural level — not in markup.
India, Singapore, Dubai, US, UK — cross-border advisory is core, not add-on.
Founder & Principal Advisor
Pooja founded The Startup Gig in 2015 with one conviction: the ecosystem didn't need another law firm — it needed advisory that thinks structurally about deals, ownership, and governance.
Since then, she and her team have advised on hundreds of venture transactions, served 180+ investors directly, and built an integrated practice that handles legal, financial, tax, and compliance as one coordinated function.

No discovery forms. No 20-question intakes. A structured conversation between principals about the deal and where we add leverage.

Map the legal, financial, tax, and governance layers. Identify where the deal is vulnerable.
Before a clause gets drafted, we align expectations. Negotiation at the structural level.
Documents, diligence, data room, filings — one coordinated push. Deal closes clean.
