Engagements
Published fee ranges, in a category that never publishes them.
Indian communications and investor-relations firms quote bespoke, on request, behind an RFP. We think you should be able to work out roughly what this costs before the first meeting, and decide whether the conversation is worth having.
What we do and what it costs
Seven engagements, three practices.
IPO Communications
ProEx IRSix-month sprint from pre-filing through listing day. Narrative, media, investor communication, promoter readiness.
Post-Listing Retainer
ProEx IRContinuing investor communication, quarterly results packages, earnings call obligations, ongoing media.
Disclosure & Narrative
ProEx IRFull listed-company programme. Filing-linked communication within statutory windows, monitoring and reporting.
Brand & Growth Retainer
ProEx StudioContent engine, organic and performance, regional-language production, live reporting.
Creator Campaigns
ProEx StudioCreator identification, contracting, disclosure auditing and measurement.
Founder & Personal Brand
ProEx StudioPositioning, content programme, media and speaking, reputation monitoring. Category exclusivity included.
Campaign Operations
Public AffairsWar-room operations, regional monitoring, rapid response, certification and expenditure compliance.
All figures exclude GST. Campaign operations are quoted on application because scope, duration and constituency count vary too widely for a range to mean anything useful.
Method
How we price.
Always a setup fee
Every engagement begins with a setup fee. It funds the client-specific build — the monitoring configuration, the source list, the approval chain, the disclosure calendar — and it filters enquiries, which is the second reason it exists.
Charged once, at the startThird-party costs at cost
Monitoring subscriptions, wire distribution, creator fees and media spend are billed at cost plus a stated handling percentage, itemised on every invoice. They are never absorbed into a retainer and never hidden inside one.
Itemised on every invoicePriced on consequence, not hours
We are a small firm with a large machine. Hourly pricing would destroy the advantage of that machine and misprice the risk we are actually carrying, so we price on what the work is worth to you rather than on how long it took us.
No timesheets, no hourly rateAn honest note on these numbers. These are indicative ranges, not a rate card. No Indian investor-relations or communications firm publishes its fees, so there is no benchmark to price against — these are our own numbers, arrived at from our own work, and we will revise them as we learn. Everything above excludes GST.
The floor
What is included in every engagement.
Whatever the size of the mandate, these five things do not vary and are not priced separately. They are the reason the setup fee exists.
In every engagement letter
- A named human accountable for every deliverable
- Exclusivity within your competitive set
- The conflicts disclosure, in writing, before you sign
- Monitoring and reporting throughout the mandate
- Approval trails retained to statutory periods
The full conflicts position is published, not summarised on request.
Getting started
How to start.
-
A conversation
No charge, no deck, no discovery workshop. Tell us what is coming and when, and we will tell you whether we are the right firm for it.
-
Conflict check
We check the brief against our current commitments across all three practices. If there is a clash, you hear it at this stage rather than after a proposal.
-
A written proposal
Scope, fees and the disclosure list — what else we run, and which sectors we are already committed in. All of it in writing, before anything is signed.
-
Engagement letter and setup
The letter carries the exclusivity term, the named accountable person and the termination rights. Setup begins the week it is signed.
