Questions
Asked often. Answered honestly.
Everything international clients tend to ask before the first call, grouped by theme.
Engagement

Not sure which service you need?
Tell us the problem, not the service name. Most enquiries begin with a symptom such as slow reporting, a stalled registration or an unclear growth plan. We listen for the decision behind it and point you to the right service, or tell you honestly if we are not the right fit.
How fast can you start?
Engagements typically kick off within days of scoping, not quarters. The discovery call is usually scheduled within 48 hours of your message.
What does the first conversation involve?
A 30-minute call at no cost and with no obligation. We ask about the decision you are trying to make, the constraints around it and what a good outcome looks like. You leave with a clear view of whether and how we can help.
Who will actually do the work?
Radhika Gupta leads every data and strategy engagement personally. She scopes it, she delivers it. For tax, legal and statutory work, named qualified chartered accountants, company secretaries and legal counsel are identified in each proposal. Avrio Horizon coordinates and owns the timeline across all of it.

Do you really cover everything from strategy to tenders?
Yes, and deliberately so. Our speciality is data and decision intelligence: Radhika leads that work directly. For tax, legal and other specialist lines, we coordinate a vetted network of qualified professionals under the same single point of contact. You deal with one relationship, one calendar, one standard. The breadth is not personal delivery of everything; it is senior accountability for everything.
Who signs statutory filings and certifications?
All statutory certifications, filings and audits are executed by qualified chartered accountants and company secretaries within our network, named in each engagement proposal. Avrio Horizon coordinates, prepares the documentation and owns the calendar. The signing professional and their registration are stated in the proposal before you commit.
Are you a law firm or chartered accountancy firm?
No. Avrio Horizon is a management consulting firm. We are not a registered law firm or CA firm. Legal drafting and statutory certifications are delivered by qualified advocates and chartered accountants within our network, each operating under their own professional obligations. We coordinate the engagement and own the outcome.
International

We are based in the US or UK. Does the time difference slow things down?
No. We schedule working sessions in your business hours. UK clients get full working day overlap. US East clients get morning sessions; we extend hours for critical milestones. Engagements run in USD, GBP, EUR or INR so billing is always straightforward.
Can you help a foreign company set up and operate in India?
Yes. Company formation, licensing, tax registration, compliance calendar, HR policy and operations design are delivered together so the entity is ready to trade and stays in good standing.
Do you work with Indian companies expanding abroad?
Yes. We support Indian groups with strategy, structure and documentation for international expansion and coordinate with partner advisors in the destination market.
Security
Security
Is our data safe with you?
A mutual NDA is standard before any data is shared. We work inside your own environment and access controls wherever possible, with read-only access by default and access revoked at handoff.
Do you use our data to train models or for other clients?
No. Client data is used only for the engagement it was shared for. This commitment is written into our standard engagement contract, not just stated as policy.
Pricing
Pricing
How do you price engagements?
Fixed fee for scoped projects and monthly retainers for ongoing work such as compliance, tax and contract review. You see the price before you commit and there are no hourly surprises.
Is your India-based model cheaper than a US or UK firm?
It costs less to run, and we pass that efficiency to you as a lower fee or a deeper scope. The methodology and quality bar are the same regardless of where the client sits.
Do you offer a trial or pilot engagement?
Yes. A Data Maturity Assessment or a compliance health check is a common two-to-four week starting point that gives you a clear view of our work before a larger commitment.
