What does business valuation for Indian investors in the UAE cover? It is an independent, IVS-aligned valuation of an India-linked business or a UAE target acquired by Indian investors, modelled in INR and AED, using DCF, market multiples and net asset value with IFRS-compliant reporting. It supports acquisitions, exits, UAE holding structures and cross-border funding. Corvian Advisory provides it from Dubai as UAE-based valuation advice for Indian investors and Indian-linked transactions, through a CFA-led team with 15+ years of Big 4 experience. Fixed fee from INR 1,25,000, typically 2–4 weeks.
Independent, IVS-aligned and IFRS-compliant valuation for Indian founders, promoter families and investors active across the India–UAE corridor. We model INR and AED cash flows side by side so currency effects are visible, and every report is signed by CFA, CA and ACCA qualified practitioners.
A CFA Charterholder and Chartered Accountant with Big 4 transaction experience leads each India-linked engagement. Our team includes chartered accountants who read Indian and IFRS-style financials with equal ease.
Analysts build and stress-test the models; the lead practitioner owns the judgement calls and signs the final report. Many India-linked mandates involve a founder-owned business with a UAE arm, so we value the two together and separately, and show how currency and transfer pricing assumptions move the result.
Most Indian-linked mandates need more than one valuation. We provide the full range from the UAE, so one CFA-led team can value the target, allocate the purchase price and support reporting afterwards. Every report is IVS-aligned, with IFRS-compliant reporting.

Corvian Advisory provides UAE-based valuation advice to Indian investors and on Indian-linked transactions, prepared to IVS with IFRS-compliant reporting. We are not an Indian-registered valuer. Where a statutory or regulatory valuation specific to India is required, we work alongside a locally authorised valuer and coordinate our analysis with theirs.
For India-linked mandates the main modelling question is currency. We value in the currency of the cash flows and translate transparently, rather than mixing rates.
Cash flows forecast in their natural currency and discounted with a WACC that reflects India or UAE country risk as appropriate, then translated at a stated exchange-rate path.
Peers drawn from Indian listed companies and GCC transactions, adjusted for growth, size and liquidity differences between the markets.
