Mithilesh Reddy, Founder and Chief Executive Officer, SBC LLP, says the ₹100 crore valuation funding will support international growth, AI driven platforms, and specialised advisory capabilities

SBC LLP has announced the successful closure of its pre Series A funding round at a valuation of ₹100 crore, marking a key milestone in the firm’s growth journey as it prepares to scale globally and deepen its technology led advisory offerings.
The funding round was led by Raju Menon, Founder and Chairman of Kreston Menon Group in the UAE, and Suresh Katamreddy, Founder and Chief Operating Officer of Kastech Group in the United States. The investment will be used to accelerate expansion across the India, UAE, and US corridor, develop proprietary AI enabled platforms, and strengthen specialised advisory practices.

Founded in 2017, SBC LLP has grown to a team of more than 270 professionals operating across India, the UAE, and the United States. The firm serves over 350 clients including multinational enterprises, private equity backed companies, and Indian conglomerates. Its service portfolio spans transfer pricing, international taxation, mergers and acquisitions advisory, valuations, Global Capability Center incubation and managed services, and technology enabled outsourcing.
Commenting on the funding, Mithilesh Reddy, Founder and Chief Executive Officer of SBC LLP, said, “This investment reinforces our vision of building a globally relevant Indian advisory platform. Over the past eight years, we have developed a differentiated model that combines deep technical expertise with technology driven scalability. The partnership strengthens our ability to deliver complex cross border advisory mandates.”

Raju Menon, Founder and Chairman of Kreston Menon Group, said the firm reflects the execution standards required to compete globally. He noted that the convergence of India’s expanding international footprint and regulatory sophistication creates a strong opportunity for Indian advisory platforms, with SBC LLP well positioned to capitalise on the India and Middle East corridor.
The capital raised will be directed towards three focus areas. These include the development of AI enabled platforms supporting the firm’s transition towards a service as a platform model, expansion of specialised advisory capabilities in cross border transactions, ESG consulting, and Global Capability Center incubation and managed services, and entry into high growth markets such as Saudi Arabia, Singapore, and the UAE.

Suresh Katamreddy, Founder and Chief Operating Officer of Kastech Group, said increasing cross border activity is driving demand for multi jurisdictional advisory expertise. He added that combining SBC LLP’s advisory capabilities with Kastech’s experience in generative AI, machine learning, and robotic process automation will support automation, efficiency, and global scalability.
SBC LLP has made sustained investments in proprietary technology including AI powered transfer pricing platforms, integrated litigation tracking systems, and automated compliance frameworks. The firm has also been recognised as a Notable Transfer Pricing Firm by ITR World Tax, reflecting its growing standing in the global advisory landscape.
