Our engagement models

FAQs

Common questions.

Do you act as a merchant banker for IPOs?

No. Origo is an independent strategic adviser. Where SEBI-regulated services are needed, they are carried out by appropriately licensed intermediaries, with whom we work alongside the client.

What size of transactions do you advise on?

Mid-market and larger mandates where senior judgement changes the outcome, typically in energy, infrastructure and adjacent sectors.

Do you work outside the energy sector?

Yes. Strategy, capital and M&A advice applies across sectors; energy and infrastructure are where our depth is greatest.

How is a success fee structured?

A modest retainer plus a fee on closing, scoped for each mandate. Terms are agreed in writing before work begins.

Can you support an existing banker's process?

Yes. Many promoters use Origo as an independent sounding board alongside their bankers.
