The Name

Why Eighty-Two?

The 82nd meridian east is the longitude that defines Indian Standard Time, the single timezone that holds a nation of 1.4 billion people together.

It is a line that runs through the geographic heart of India. For us, it stands for precision, rootedness, and a perspective that is distinctly Indian, yet calibrated for the world.

Our Vision

To be the most trusted strategic partner to enterprise leadership.

Shaping decisive growth through clarity of thought, disciplined execution, and aligned capital.

Clarity

We simplify complexity into decisive action. Our work cuts through noise to surface the choices that matter.

Impact

Every engagement is measured by real outcomes. We are accountable for results, not deliverables.

Trust

Built on integrity, deepened over time. Our client relationships are long-term partnerships, not transactions.

Our Positioning

What sets us apart

India-first, Globally Connected

Deep understanding of the Indian enterprise context, with a network spanning three continents. We bring local depth with global perspective.

Senior-Led Delivery

Every engagement is led by a principal with hands-on domain expertise. Our clients work with the people who lead the firm, not junior teams.

Across the Ecosystem

We hold mandates from enterprises, investors, and government bodies, giving us a 360-degree perspective that pure-play advisors cannot match.

20+ years across Strategy, Capital, and Technology advisory, with deep sector expertise in Aerospace, Manufacturing, and Life Sciences. Akshay has led market entry mandates, cross-border transactions, and GCC engagements for enterprises across India, Japan, Europe, and the Americas.

Before founding Eighty Two Advisory, he built his career at the intersection of enterprise strategy and execution, working with leadership teams on decisions that shape how companies grow, compete, and structure capital. He brings practitioner experience in building and scaling businesses, not just advising on them.

Akshay engages actively with government bodies, state-level policy frameworks, and industry associations at both policy formulation and execution levels, working to shape the ecosystem rather than just operate within it.

Let's Talk

The right conversation changes everything.

We work best with leaders who want a thinking partner, not just a vendor. If that sounds like you, we would like to hear from you.
