Growth Accelerator Program for SMEs

Growth Accelerator Program for SMEs.

A full year of structured support for India's MSME owners, built and led by Rajiv K Chawla.

Founder & Lead Mentor, Rajiv K Chawla By application only
Rajiv K Chawla

Why This Exists

You run the business well. The other half is where owners run blind.

Six gaps trip up almost every MSME owner. From today, you do not close them alone.

Schemes

Subsidies you may qualify for and never claimed. We help you discover and file them.

Structure

A large company still run like a proprietorship. Holding entities and governance in place.

Succession

The next generation, equity splits and written rules, set before you need them.

Capital

Finance beyond the CC limit. Debt, equity and working capital as tools, not threats.

Legal

Contracts, IP and disputes. The small clauses that decide the size of the cheque.

Peers

Other owners at your scale, comparing notes no consultant on retainer can give.

Stop closing these alone.
