Partnering for Growth: An Interview with Ashutosh Kharangate of MARC Global

At Enventure, we believe that strong partnerships fuel innovation, intentional growth, and long-term success. That’s why we prioritize working with industry leaders who bring unique perspectives to investment and business expansion. One such partner is Ashutosh Kharangate, Founder and CEO of MARC Global, a firm specializing in M&A advisory, market research, and financial planning.

In a recent conversation, we had the opportunity to discuss Ashutosh’s journey, his approach to scaling businesses, and how MARC Global collaborates with firms like Enventure to drive investment success.

Building MARC Global: A Vision for Growth

When asked about the inspiration behind MARC Global, Ashutosh shared that his experience with PricewaterhouseCoopers (PwC) shaped his understanding of due diligence and corporate finance. However, he saw an unmet need in the small and medium business (SMB) sector—companies that required high-level advisory but often lacked access to major consulting firms.

"I wanted to build a firm that not only provided financial and operational guidance but also worked hands-on with businesses to help them grow in a structured and scalable way," he explained.

Today, MARC Global focuses on three core areas:

Mergers & Acquisitions (M&A): Investor presentations, valuations, due diligence, and legal support for business acquisitions. Market Research & Feasibility Studies: Helping companies analyze new markets, assess profitability, and make data-driven expansion decisions. Financial Planning & Outsourced CFO Services: Supporting businesses with profitability assessments, financial modeling, and business planning.

These services are designed to help businesses move from point A to point B in their growth trajectory while mitigating risks and ensuring informed decision-making.

The Enventure & MARC Global Partnership

Ashutosh first connected with Enventure through LinkedIn, a testament to the power of purposeful networking. He had been exploring opportunities to expand MARC Global’s services in the U.S. and found alignment with Enventure’s investment and advisory approach.

"From the beginning, our conversations were open and forward-thinking. Enventure’s structured approach and attention to process made it an ideal partner for us," he noted.

One of the key strengths of this collaboration has been Enventure’s methodical and process-driven approach, which ensures that teams stay aligned and transactions move forward efficiently.

Challenges in SMB Investment & M&A

One of the biggest challenges in working with SMBs, according to Ashutosh, is data organization. Many small businesses lack structured financial records, making due diligence, valuation, and investment decisions more complex.

"Often, companies have fragmented data, and financial records are not standardized. That’s where firms like MARC Global and Enventure play a critical role—helping businesses structure their financials so they can unlock investment opportunities," he explained.

Ashutosh also highlighted the value of organized communication in investment transactions. Through Slack, structured catch-ups, and ongoing collaboration, Enventure helped ensure smoother decision-making throughout the process.

"Initially, I was overwhelmed by the structured communication flow, but I quickly realized how it helped in keeping everything on track and ensuring efficient execution," he added.

The Future of MARC Global & Enventure’s Role

Looking ahead, MARC Global aims to strengthen its presence in the $360 billion U.S. management consulting market, focusing on supporting businesses with growth advisory and financial planning.

"Our goal is to connect with more investment-focused organizations in the U.S., providing execution support while they drive development. Enventure is a key partner in that journey," Ashutosh shared.

When asked to describe Enventure in three words, he chose:

🔹 Methodical – for its structured approach 🔹 Challenging – due to fast-paced transactions 🔹 Great teamwork

 highlighting seamless collaboration. With a shared commitment to structured growth and investment excellence, we look forward to continuing this partnership and exploring new opportunities together.

Thank you, Ashutosh, for sharing your insights and for your continued collaboration with Enventure!
