An operator-led boutique. Not a bank.
Mettawave Consulting Services was founded by Pankaj Kumar to bring institutional-grade capital advisory to founders and promoters who deserve more than a pitch deck and a cold introduction. We've sat on both sides of the table — as founders, as operators, and as advisors.
That perspective shapes everything we do. We work mandate by mandate, not deal volume by deal volume. We pick clients we believe in, and we run processes with the discipline of a top-tier bank — but with the speed and intimacy only a boutique can offer.
Our promise is simple: NDA before conversation. Aligned incentives. Honest counsel.
