Bankability over speed
Every DPR, CMA, and proposal we draft is built to clear bank credit committees on first review — not to maximize our throughput.

Founder Rakesh Jha spent over two decades inside banking, corporate finance, and regulatory advisory before founding SCG with a singular mission: to give India's MSMEs, startups, and corporates the same calibre of financial counsel that the largest companies routinely receive.
The result is a practice that combines a banker's rigor with an entrepreneur's urgency — a combination that has translated into ₹2,500+ Cr of advised mandates across PSU banks (SBI, PNB, BOB), private banks (HDFC, IDFC, Axis), development institutions (NABARD, SIDBI, Tourism Finance Corporation), and leading NBFCs.
Today SCG is 73 professionals strong — headquartered in Ahmedabad with PAN India delivery — including Co-Founders Rakesh Jha and Rajesh Jha, four Mentors (S.L. Narasimha Rao on strategy & finance, Braj Kishore Jha on sustainability, Dr. Ghanshyam Bhai Patel on entomology, and others), three Principal Consultants, and 60+ distinguished subject-matter experts.

17 years of work with PSU banks, NBFCs, and ARCs taught us how decisions actually get made. We translate that for entrepreneurs.
Sector specialization
No generalist plays. Twelve sectors, deep operating context in each — agri-biotech, renewables, infrastructure, manufacturing, mining, financial services, hospitality, healthcare, defence, chemicals, PSU, startups.
Audit-ready everything
Every claim cited. Every model traceable. Every workflow leaves a paper trail. Holds up under bank credit, PE diligence, regulatory inquiry.

Active credit relationships and submission pipelines across PSU banks, private banks, development institutions, and NBFCs.
