Prudentia Advisory

HI, I’M KARAN VASWANI, the founder of Prudentia Advisory.

I’ve lived long term in the U.A.E., U.S., China, India and Singapore, built several successful businesses from scratch, and also spent a long stint practicing law in India and mastering the country’s intricate tax laws, inflexible company laws, invasive banking regulations and draconian foreign exchange regulations. I have dealt with every part of the vast Indian bureaucracy, for both myself and clients, from Income Tax officers to RBI officials to employees at the Registrar of Companies to labor commissioners.

I am also a director of, and strategic advisor to, many companies, big and small, and I founded Prudentia Advisory in 2012 to help and empower Indian entrepreneurs, by offering the following bespoke services:
