MPS & Associates, Company Secretaries was established in 2021 at New Delhi as a firm of Practising Company Secretaries, registered with the Institute of Company Secretaries of India. The firm is peer-reviewed by the ICSI — an independent assessment of the quality and discipline of our professional work.
We were set up with a deliberately narrow purpose: to take on the corporate secretarial and corporate law matters that are too technical, too time-bound or too consequential to be handled in passing. In the years since, that focus has grown into a practice serving more than a hundred clients across twenty states in India and twelve countries overseas.
What we do
Our work centres on secretarial audit and due diligence — audits under Section 204 of the Companies Act, 2013, secretarial and legal due diligence for transactions, and compliance reviews that prepare a company for an IPO. Around that core, we handle compounding of offences and adjudication of penalties, mergers and acquisitions, corporate restructuring and matters before the National Company Law Tribunal, together with routine and event-based secretarial compliance, foreign exchange and cross-border filings, drafting of corporate and commercial documents, intellectual property registrations, statutory licences and governance training for boards.
We appear before the National Company Law Tribunal, the Regional Director, the Registrar of Companies and other authorities under the Companies Act, and we draft and file the documents that those proceedings rest on.
Whom we serve
A substantial part of our work comes to us from other professionals. Chartered Accountants and Merchant Bankers engage us for the secretarial and corporate law components of their assignments — deliberately, because we do not offer accounting, statutory audit or taxation services and therefore never compete with the firms that refer work to us.
Beyond that, we act for listed and unlisted public companies, private limited companies, limited liability partnerships, wholly-owned subsidiaries of foreign parents, branch and liaison offices, non-banking financial companies, start-ups and MSMEs, trusts, societies and Section 8 companies, and for chambers of commerce and trade associations. Our clients operate in manufacturing and textiles, pharmaceuticals and healthcare, real estate and hospitality, technology, telecom, media, financial services, logistics, energy, education and the consumer sector.
How we work
We are a multidisciplinary bench by design. Company Secretaries, an Advocate enrolled with the Bar Council of India and a finance professional work on the same file rather than in sequence. In practice that means a due diligence report can be reviewed and signed by a practising Advocate, a scheme of arrangement can be drafted and argued by the team that also modelled its financial effect, and a client is not left coordinating between three advisers who have never spoken to each other.
We work to fixed, agreed timelines, we tell clients early when a filing is at risk rather than after the due date has passed, and we keep the working papers that let a company answer a regulator years later. For most of our clients we function as an extension of their own secretarial department rather than as an outside consultant called in for a single filing.
Credentials
The firm is registered with the Institute of Company Secretaries of India and holds a peer review certificate issued by the Institute.

Meet our Management Team

Mr. Mayank Sharma
Mayank is a finance professional with over eight years of experience. He supports the firm's due diligence and secretarial audit teams with financial analysis, bringing a close reading of financial statements to engagements where the numbers and the statutory record have to reconcile.
