Meet the team
Avni Shah
CS, LLB
Avni brings over 10 years of vast experience across corporate compliance, regulatory advisory, and secretarial practice, with deep grounding in the NBFC space — including a top 250 listed NBFC, secretarial work for listed companies, and statutory audits. She began her career at a leading CS firm, building a strong foundation in secretarial practice, then moved in-house with leading NBFCs, where she took on greater responsibility across compliance and governance — before broadening her practice further to cover corporate governance, regulatory interpretation, and matters under the Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code (IBC).
At Sarva Adviserium, she leads engagements across NBFC compliance, corporate governance, regulatory advisory, and secretarial matters — combining regulatory depth with hands-on, practical execution that clients can rely on. She was awarded the ICSI “Best Secretarial Audit Report” Award in 2019, a recognition of the same rigour she brings to her work today.
Paras Kushwah
Paras carries a decade-plus of substantial experience spanning internal audit, risk assessment, and regulatory compliance, with a strong footing in the NBFC sector — including audit mandates for listed NBFCs and a listed Asset Reconstruction Company. Over the course of his career, he has developed a keen understanding of how regulated financial institutions actually function day-to-day, well beyond what a compliance checklist captures.
His work has included building ECL and ICAAP models for NBFC clients — technical, high-stakes engagements that require both regulatory precision and a working knowledge of a lender’s balance sheet. From there, his practice has extended into insolvency and resolution matters under the IBC, where audit rigour and commercial judgement both come into play.
Wama Gosar
Wama has 5+ years of experience which includes working with an international bank where she gained experience in high-value credit appraisal, financial analysis and business evaluation. She has also worked with multinational corporations and US real estate companies on financial reporting and accounting engagements, gaining exposure to global accounting practices and internal controls.
At Sarva Adviserium, Wama advises businesses and NBFCs on Ind AS, regulatory compliance, transaction audits, debt financing, financial modelling, insolvency & bankruptcy, Direct & Indirect Tax and Virtual CFO matters, helping clients strengthen financial controls and make informed strategic decisions.
Kiran Goklani
With a decade of experience in secretarial compliance, Kiran has worked with several top 500 companies across listed and unlisted structures, covering corporate governance, IPO readiness, SME and LLP compliance, legal agreements, SEBI (LODR) and Insider Trading Regulations, and labour law compliance – a single point of advisory across corporate, securities, and employment-related matters.
Within Sarva Adviserium’s advisory practice, she handles statutory secretarial compliance, company incorporation, LLP compliance, IPO preparation, SEBI regulatory advisory, legal agreement drafting, and labour law compliance for corporate clients.
Adv. Aatif Khan
Aatif brings a strong litigation and legal advisory background, with experience in drafting and reviewing agreements, legal notices, and pleadings, alongside legal opinions and regulatory interpretation, including matters under the Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code (IBC).
Within Sarva Adviserium, he brings that litigator’s precision to contract drafting, legal notices, and dispute resolution — including IBC matters.
Mayur Shah
Mayur specialises in accounting and taxation, covering direct tax, indirect tax (GST), and statutory compliance for Indian businesses, alongside tax advisory for clients with US and Canada exposure — a combination few accounting professionals offer under one roof.
His practice at Sarva Adviserium spans income tax and GST advisory, accounting and bookkeeping, financial statement preparation, statutory and tax audits, and cross-border tax matters across India, the US, and Canada — bridging routine compliance with the planning that keeps clients ahead of regulatory change at home and abroad.
