Client Testimonials
CEO, A UK based fabric technology
company, England
We engaged Chandrashekar Kupperi and his firm,
ANOVA Corporate Services Private Limited, around
October 2013 to carry out financial analysis of our
business. We were very pleased with their ability to
refine data provided, add their insights and provide
meaningful analysis.
We continue to engage with them on other business
matters. We would recommend Chandrashekar
Kupperi and his team without reservation. They have
excellent analytical skills with a good commercial
sense and bottom line orientation.
Managing Director, A British soap and
toiletries company, England
We were pleased to engage Chandrashekar Kupperi
and his firm, ANOVA Corporate Services Private
Limited, during February 2013 on a short assignment
to analyze certain financial data of a particular
business segment. Their work has been valuable to
us.
We have also recently engaged them on another
project which is of significant importance.
Chandrashekar Kupperi is reliable, methodical, and
has the right experience, and I am happy to
recommend him and his firm, ANOVA Corporate
Services Private Limited, who give an awful lot of
themselves to every project!
Managing Director, A UK based fragrances
company, England
My first interactions with Chandrashekar Kupperi
started in September 2012 when he had come
across to the UK to evaluate a business proposition.
Since then, I have been interacting with him on a
number of occasions, and engaged his business,
ANOVA Corporate Services private Limited, on
couple of business matters. Chandrashekar Kupperi
has continuously impressed me with his expertise,
accountability and trustworthiness. I would
recommend Chandrashekar Kupperi and ANOVA
Corporate services Private Limited, and wish him
and his team a great success.
Managing Director, An Indian Auto Ancillary manufacturing company, Chennai
I have known Chandrashekar Kupperi of ANOVA Corporate Services Private Limited since January 2014.
Our work with Chandrashekar Kupperi and his team started around February 2014 and was aimed to help
us be prepared for a financial due diligence exercise by a renowned Accounting firm and legal due diligence
by a leading Law firm.
We were delighted to work with him and his team as they had in-depth process knowledge which not only
resulted in understanding our situation but also helped us identify various parameters and metrics to
demonstrate our position as well as take remedial measures. Their concerted efforts exceeded our
expectations in terms of process precision, cost optimization and the promptness with which we
accomplished our goals. We highly recommend Chandrashekar Kupperi and ANOVA corporate Services
Private Limited, and we wish them the very best.
CEO, A UK based company in hand-embellished dresses, London
Given the need to spend my time on operational matters I needed help with managing its growth
but I was wary of delegating any administrative responsibilities and concerned with sharing the
company's financial information.
We started working with Chandrashekar Kupperi and his firm, ANOVA Corporate Services
private Limited since January 2015, and certainly their professionalism and credibility calmed
any fears that I may have had in outsourcing certain financial functions. Their proficiency and
experience has been unsurpassed. Working with ANOVA has afforded me access to a team
skilled in financial analysis, accounting matters and internal controls, as well as the ability to
deliberate ideas on strategic aspects, as required.
Co-Founder & Director Operations, An Indian
company into small payments.
“ANOVA has provided excellent services in relation
to the business plan preparation and valuation
exercise for my company. The ANOVA team
demonstrated absolute professionalism. Their deep-
dive approach, analytical and number crunching
skillsets are commendable.
The team put our business plan into a succinct
format to relate with the investors. We found Shekar
very thoughtful and responsive to our needs and
easy to work with. I highly recommend the firm and
hope our paths cross again soon.”
