From register to allotment
Before any office sees a company, the desk has done its proprietary diligence: site, factory and plant visits, customer orders verified, customer and supplier feedback taken and the numbers reconciled. A new company reaches the desk about every fortnight. After you say yes, the desk runs every step to allotment.
- Register, get approved
Name, office, email, mobile and role. The desk approves the office, usually within a working day, and every company opens to you by name.
You - PAN and the deal's NDA
For each deal, an NDA directly with that company, signed on screen. It opens that company's room only.
You
- Open the deals
Company names, financials, valuation and the data room unlock.
You - Promoter calls
Group sessions with the promoter and management under NDA, with a written summary for every office.
The desk - Indicate interest
Non-binding until you confirm a summary of terms and risks after KYC.
You
- Term sheet, SHA and diligence
Drafts shared by the desk, and independent due diligence by a trusted firm before you sign.
The desk - Compliance and allotment
Escrow, MGT-14, offer letter and PAS-3, or the share transfer for a secondary. Shares land in your demat.
The desk
Before any of this, the desk has done its proprietary diligence on the company: site, factory and plant visits, customer orders verified, customer and supplier feedback taken and the numbers reconciled. Each company carries a Desk Score.
A proprietary process, before any office sees a company
Off Market Desk's diligence and curation process is the desk's own. Most companies the desk meets never get a room. Those that do carry a Desk Score, and their room holds everything the desk found.
Before a company reaches the desk
- Promoter and management meetings
- Site, factory and plant visits
- Customer orders verified
- Customer and supplier feedback
- Audited numbers reconciled across sources
- Shareholding and title to the shares
- Valuation against listed peers
- And further steps that are the desk's own
Each room then holds what the desk found: the numbers, the terms and path to listing, the risks in plain words, the documents and the promoter's answers. A new company reaches the desk about every fortnight.
What every office can count on
- Curated, not listed. A company reaches the desk only after the desk's own work on it, not because it asked to be listed.
- One Desk Score per company. Set by the desk, dated, and the same for every office.
- Risks in plain words. Every room states the risks the desk sees, with the source, and they stay up after the deal closes.
- Two sources disagree? Both are shown. The room says which figure the price rests on.
- Same room for everyone. Registered offices see one room, one Q&A, one feed. Questions one office asks are answered for all.
What family offices ask
Why don't I see the usual pre-IPO names here?
Because they are on every other platform, priced by the crowd and marketed by every broker; the desk has nothing to add to them. Off Market Desk only lists companies it found itself, that no banker has marketed and no platform carries: revenue and profit today, a demonstrable path to listing, and an entry priced below where its listed peers trade. If you can buy it somewhere else, it will not be here.
Who is the desk for?
Family offices: single and multi-family offices, the family trusts, HUFs and holding companies they invest through, and the CIOs and advisers who run them. Registration is open and the desk approves each office; each office declares how it invests and the ticket size it works with, and signs an NDA with each company whose room it opens. Funds and institutions are welcome by introduction.
What ticket sizes do deals take?
Each room states its own minimum, usually ₹50 lakh or ₹1 crore. The minimum is set from the round size and the 200-offeree-per-year limit for a private placement, so that a round can fill within the law. Larger allocations can be requested in the room.
Why are company names hidden until I register?
These are private placements. Under the Companies Act an offer of unlisted shares may be made only to identified investors, not advertised to the public, so the site shows each deal as an overview without the name, and opens the details to registered investors.
Does my investment pass through Off Market Desk?
No. You pay the company (primary) or the selling shareholder (secondary) directly under the signed documents. Nothing is paid to the desk by the office, on any deal.
What does it cost a family office?
Nothing. Family offices pay no fee to register, to open a room, or to commit.
What happens if I pass on a deal?
You tell the desk why, in one line, and it goes into your office's dashboard. The shelf and the alerts learn from it, the promoter never sees your name, and nobody calls to change your mind.
Is Off Market Desk a stock exchange or a SEBI-registered intermediary?
No. It is a deal desk operated by SintraCap Advisors LLP, part of the SintraCap family office. It is not a broker, merchant banker or investment adviser and is not registered with SEBI; where a deal needs a registered intermediary, the room names it. It does not run a trading platform, pool investor money or give investment advice. Every family office takes its own decision on the documents provided, with its own advisers.
