About Us

MERIAD Business Advisory Private Ltd is a growth enabler for startups and MSMEs across India.

Through our proprietary SCAN (Startup Catalyst & Analyst Network) methodology, we identify scalable startups early and provide them with a comprehensive support ecosystem including funding, business advisory, mentorship, and market access. With 500+ man-years of combined experience across IT, BPO, SaaS, manufacturing, and energy, our mission is to build future unicorns

MERIAD Business Advisory Private Limited is a dynamic advisory firm that operates the Startup Catalyst & Acquisition Network (SCAN), a hybrid intermediary model designed to unlock value in undervalued startups. SCAN, as a core initiative of MERIAD, acts as a catalyst for promising startups by helping them secure funding, providing operational control, and driving growth to achieve significant exits. With India’s startup ecosystem projected to see $15 billion in funding in 2025 (Inc42) and a $150 billion funding gap by 2030 (CII), MERIAD’s SCAN model is positioned to bridge this gap, focusing on high-growth sectors like climate tech and AI. This business model scan evaluates how MERIAD, through SCAN, creates, delivers, and captures value, with a focus on its role in propelling startups to their next orbit of growth
