Why Choose My Valuation? 

 

IBBI Registered Valuer-Led, Not Just Advised 

Every report at My Valuation is signed by an IBBI Registered Valuer under Section 247 of the Companies Act, 2013. This is not advisory support or CA-certified valuation - it is a legally valid, regulator-accepted valuation signed by the registered valuer himself. This distinction is critical for Companies Act mandates, IBC filings, and most regulatory submissions in India.

 

95%+ First-Time VC/PE Acceptance Rate 

My Valuation's reports are built to survive VC and PE scrutiny the first time without bouncing back for rework. This 95%+ first-time acceptance rate is documented across 500+ client engagements and reflects the firm's commitment to methodology rigour, clear assumption documentation, and investor-facing clarity. 

 

5–7 Day Turnaround - Half the Industry Average 

Standard business and startup valuation reports are delivered in 5 to 7 business days from financial receipt. The industry average is 15+ days. This speed advantage is critical for startups in active fundraising conversations and companies facing regulatory filing deadlines. 

 

US CPA + India CA + IBBI RV - Cross-Border Dual Qualification 

CA Parth Shah is both a licensed US CPA and an India-qualified FCA and IBBI Registered Valuer - making My Valuation uniquely equipped to handle cross-border mandates including 409A valuations for Indian startups with US entities, and FEMA valuations for US/Singapore/UK-originated FDI into India. 

 

Complex Financial Instruments Expertise 

Beyond standard equity valuation, My Valuation specialises in the valuation of complex financial instruments - convertible notes, CCDs, CCPS, OCRPS, warrants, derivatives, and structured securities - using Black-Scholes, Binomial, and Monte Carlo models. This capability is rarely found in boutique valuation firms and is critical for Ind AS 109 compliance and cross-border instrument pricing. 

 

Startup-Specialist with Proven Funding Track Record 

Rs. 1,500+ Crore raised by My Valuation clients across Seed to Series C+ rounds is not an estimate - it is a documented track record. With a 60% repeat client rate, the firm is a long-term partner across multiple funding rounds for many of its startup clients. Sector depth spans SaaS, EdTech, HealthTech, FinTech, and Green Energy. 

 

Pre-Revenue Startup Expertise 

For pre-revenue startups where traditional DCF cannot be applied, My Valuation uses qualitative methods such as the Scorecard Method and Berkus Method, weighting team quality, technology, market size, and competitive advantage. This is standard practice for seed and pre-seed valuations and ensures defensible reports even at the earliest stage. 

 

Two Offices: Ahmedabad + Bangalore 

With offices in both Ahmedabad (major startup and corporate hub) and Bangalore (India's leading tech and startup capital), My Valuation is well-positioned to serve clients across western, central, and southern India. Both offices handle pan-India and international mandates.
