United Kingdom · India · United Arab Emirates
We advise founders, family offices and corporates moving capital, structures and ambition between three of the world's most connected markets — with the rigour of chartered practice and the fluency of people who work across all three.
A single advisory relationship that holds together across jurisdictions — so nothing is lost in the handoff between one country's advisers and the next.
Cross-border work fails in the seams: an Indian structure that ignores UK tax residence, a UK holding company that trips FEMA on the way out, a Gulf entity bolted on without a plan. We are built to close those seams.
Whiteworth Westbridge brings deep chartered-practice roots in India together with on-the-ground presence in London and the Gulf — one team that reasons about tax, structuring, compliance and capital as a single connected problem.
Focused, senior-led advisory across the disciplines that matter most when money and structures cross borders.
Holding structures, entity design and ownership chains built to work in every jurisdiction they touch — not just the one they start in.
Treaty positioning, residence and permanent-establishment analysis, and tax-efficient routing of income and gains across the UK, India and the UAE.
Statutory audit and assurance grounded in chartered practice, including support for listed and IPO-track mandates in India.
Outbound and inbound investment structuring with FEMA and ODI compliance handled proactively, so the structure holds up to scrutiny.
Diligence, deal structuring and post-deal integration for acquisitions, joint ventures and market entry across the three markets.
UK and UAE company formation, banking and the operating scaffolding a business needs to land in a new market and run cleanly.
Presence where it counts, and a single point of accountability wherever your work sits.
A Mayfair base at the heart of the UK–India capital corridor, where structuring conversations, investors and cross-border mandates come together.
Our chartered-practice heartland — the engine room for audit, tax and compliance delivery, with decades of Indian regulatory depth behind every engagement.
Our gateway to the Gulf — connecting UAE holding structures, banking and residency into the wider corridor for clients with regional ambitions.
A partnership between two chartered accountants who each own the relationship — you work with principals, at every stage.
Manuj leads the firm's tax advisory, transaction structuring and IPO mandates, working directly with boards and promoters on the decisions that shape a business's next chapter — capital gains planning, holding-company design, pre-IPO financial restructuring and FEMA compliance.
His practice centres on cross-border structures and India–UAE advisory, where he acts for promoters and high-net-worth families on high-value corporate engagements. An international-tax specialist whose grounding was formed at KPMG, he is managing partner of an established Delhi chartered practice with concurrent statutory audit and IPO mandates, and brings that institutional rigour to every engagement across the corridor.
Pratish brings full-cycle mastery of accounting and finance operations — from statutory bookkeeping and financial-statement preparation through to end-to-end compliance management. A defining chapter came in 2014 at Oman Oil Marketing Company in Muscat, where he gained firsthand experience of Middle Eastern market dynamics — an understanding that continues to inform the firm's cross-border approach today.
Beyond corporate leadership, he is an active mentor to startups worldwide, guiding them through statutory, financial and compliance challenges as they scale, and a thought leader whose articles on indirect taxation and finance feature regularly in leading business publications. Under his leadership, the practice grew from its Delhi roots into a firm of genuine international reach — most recently into London — reflecting his vision of global expertise delivered with local precision.
Whether you're structuring an outbound investment, entering the UK or Gulf, or need a cross-border adviser who sees the whole board — start a conversation.
