Introduction to Business Valuation for Founders and Managers

A plain-language, India-specific introduction to how businesses are valued, built for founders, managers, treasury teams and HR professionals who deal with valuation without being finance specialists. Understand the difference between price, value and worth, and where valuation shows up in real work: fundraises, ESOP grants, acquisitions, buybacks and share transfers. Learn which numbers actually drive value, how multiples like P/E and EV/EBITDA work, how to bridge enterprise value to equity value, and how to build a simple DCF without drowning in jargon. Finish with the Indian rulebook on registered valuers, Rule 11UA, FEMA and SEBI pricing, the everyday management decisions that move your company's valuation, and a case study valuing one Indian private company three different ways.
