Zabi Ayinikat

As a new startup company, our search for a financial advisor and most importantly a trusted business partner ended with MS Associates. A professionally run organization with wide range of service offerings and expertise. It was a pleasure meeting Shiva Prakash, who was very supportive, spent time to understand our business, gave some valuable advises and above all the comfort of being there… a huge differentiator factor. Looking forward to a long-term partnership.
