Uniqus Consultech Wagers on AI to Reshape Corporate Valuations

MUMBAI, India – March 17, 2026 – In a significant move to harness artificial intelligence in financial advisory, tech-enabled global consulting platform Uniqus Consultech today announced the launch of its dedicated Valuations practice. The new division aims to replace traditional, often cumbersome valuation methods with a faster, more consistent, and data-driven approach, leveraging a proprietary AI technology stack to navigate an increasingly volatile global market.

This launch positions Uniqus to capitalize on a growing demand for sophisticated, tech-infused financial services. The firm is betting that its AI-first model will provide a critical edge in a field where speed, accuracy, and regulatory compliance are paramount. The new practice is designed to support clients across the entire transaction lifecycle, from initial deal assessments to ongoing financial reporting and long-term strategic planning.

An Integrated Strategy for Complex Markets

The introduction of the Valuations practice is more than just an expansion; it represents the capstone of Uniqus's strategy to offer a fully integrated suite of advisory services. The new division will work alongside the company's existing specializations in Accounting & Reporting, Governance, Risk & Compliance (GRC), Sustainability, and Technology Consulting, creating a holistic ecosystem for clients.

Services offered will be comprehensive, covering business and intangible asset valuation, financial reporting valuation, compliance and regulatory support, property and equipment valuation, and dispute resolution. This broad scope is intended to eliminate the fragmented advisory experience many corporations face, where they must engage multiple firms for different aspects of a single transaction or reporting cycle.

Jamil Khatri, Co-Founder & CEO of Uniqus Consultech, highlighted the strategic importance of this integration. "Valuation today sits at the critical intersection of deals, financial reporting, tax, and regulatory oversight," he stated. "Clients are looking for advisors who combine deep technical expertise with a practical understanding of business, deals, accounting, disclosure, regulations and stakeholder expectations. By adding a dedicated Valuations practice to our platform, we are providing our clients with a more integrated advisory experience."

This integrated approach is led by a senior team of valuation specialists, assembled to advise global enterprises, private equity firms, and high-growth companies. The firm’s structure allows for seamless collaboration between its valuation experts and its GRC or financial reporting teams, ensuring that a valuation report, for example, is not only technically sound but also fully compliant with the latest regulatory and accounting standards.

The AI Edge in Financial Advisory

At the heart of the new practice is Uniqus's proprietary AI-enabled technology. This is not a peripheral feature but the core engine designed to drive the entire valuation process. The firm has been vocal about its broader AI ambitions, recently launching "AI UniVerse," a dedicated AI consulting practice, and developing a suite of tech platforms like UniQuest for regulatory analysis and Risk UniVerse for SOX compliance.

This commitment to technology is central to the firm's value proposition. By automating data collection, standardizing models, and using machine learning to identify patterns and anomalies, Uniqus aims to deliver valuations that are not only faster but also more robust and defensible under scrutiny. The firm also recently announced a strategic collaboration with Numero AI, a company specializing in agentic AI for finance transformation, signaling a clear intent to scale its AI capabilities.

This tech-first philosophy directly addresses the demands of modern business, as articulated by Kapil Bellubi, Partner and the new Head of Valuations. "Clients demand valuations that are technically robust, aligned with global financial reporting and regulatory standards, and delivered with speed and accuracy keeping in mind transaction and reporting deadlines," Bellubi said. "Our proposition brings together deep valuation expertise, strong accounting and transaction knowledge, and a tech-enabled globally integrated delivery model to meet that need."

Navigating Volatility and Competitive Pressures

The launch comes at a time when the demand for sophisticated valuation services is intensifying. Market volatility, complex geopolitical risks, and heightened regulatory oversight have made accurate and timely valuations more critical than ever for M&A activity, fundraising, and financial reporting. Uniqus is positioning itself as the modern solution to these modern challenges.

The competitive landscape for valuation services is fierce, with the Big Four accounting firms—Deloitte, PwC, EY, and KPMG—dominating the market. These giants are also investing heavily in AI, though often with what some analysts describe as "calculated restraint" due to concerns over data governance and client confidentiality. They frequently use internal "AI sandboxes" to test and deploy technology cautiously. In contrast, Uniqus appears to be adopting a more aggressive, tech-forward posture, aiming to disrupt the market rather than incrementally improve it. For instance, while firms like Deloitte offer their own platforms like "ValueD," Uniqus's narrative centers on AI being the fundamental DNA of its entire consulting philosophy.

This disruptive strategy has attracted significant investor confidence. The company is backed by marquee investors including Nexus Venture Partners, Sorin Investments, and UST. It recently secured $20 million in Series C funding, with capital explicitly earmarked for R&D in AI-driven solutions and the launch of adjacent services. Anup Gupta, Managing Director at lead investor Nexus Venture Partners, has described Uniqus as representing "the future of consulting" due to its "AI-first, cloud-delivery model" that challenges legacy firms.

A Foundation of Expertise and Global Reach

While technology is the key differentiator, Uniqus grounds its offering in deep human expertise. Co-founder Jamil Khatri brings decades of experience from his 27-year tenure at KPMG, where he was the Global Head of Accounting and Advisory Services. This blend of veteran leadership and cutting-edge technology is designed to build client trust and ensure the firm's AI-driven outputs are backed by sound professional judgment.

With a global team of over 700 professionals led by more than 85 partners and directors across eleven offices in the USA, the Middle East, and India, Uniqus has the scale to serve its growing roster of over 300 clients. By embedding its new Valuations practice within this established global network, the company is poised to deliver its integrated, tech-enabled services to a worldwide market, aiming to redefine the standards for financial advisory in a new era of business.
