I'm a Chartered Accountant, CFA Level 1 and IBBI-registered Insolvency Professional, a Founding Partner of Vista Solvency LLP and practising through Shah Kailash & Associates LLP — working across Surat, Ahmedabad and Mumbai. My practice covers the full arc of the Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code — corporate insolvency resolution, liquidation, personal-guarantor matters and a dedicated portfolio of support services for the wider IBC ecosystem.
Over 100+ CIRP, liquidation, personal-guarantor and bankruptcy matters across NCLT benches nationally, I've built a practice from the ground up alongside my father and mentor, CA Kailash Shah.
The principles stay constant across every engagement: follow the Code to the letter, run a transparent process, and keep every stakeholder informed. The same discipline applies to a contested resolution before the NCLT and to a routine compliance filing.

Specialist, behind-the-scenes support for Insolvency Professionals, resolution applicants, financial creditors, banks and legal counsel — the work that keeps a CIRP compliant, defensible and on timeline.
End-to-end support for empanelment with banks and financial institutions — eligibility, documentation and process guidance.
Drafting and Section 30(2) compliance review — feasibility, viability and statutory checks tied to clause and figure.
Fund-flow models, projections and restructuring workings that stand up to CoC and NCLT scrutiny.
Transaction, avoidance and financial due diligence — preferential, undervalued and fraudulent transaction review.
Advisory to creditors and stakeholders on SARFAESI action and its interplay with the IBC.
Support on personal-guarantor and bankruptcy matters under the Code — process, claims and documentation.
Claims verification, CoC coordination, valuation oversight and statutory filings through the CIRP timeline.
Precise, relief-specific applications — including Section 19(2) non-cooperation and interlocutory matters.
Strategy and representation support for financial & operational creditors and resolution applicants.
Appointed as IRP, RP and Liquidator before the NCLT — running the CIRP as a going concern, verifying claims, convening the CoC, evaluating resolution plans and conducting liquidation where required.
Resolution plan drafting and evaluation, Section 30(2) compliance, pre-insolvency restructuring and financial projections built for feasibility and viability.
Personal-guarantor & bankruptcy insolvency support and SARFAESI advisory — navigating the interplay between secured-creditor enforcement and the Code.
Forensic and transaction due diligence, avoidance-transaction review and financial advisory — bringing a Chartered Accountant's rigour to every distress situation.
A simplified walk-through of the CIRP journey — so every stakeholder always knows what comes next.
A financial or operational creditor — or the corporate debtor itself — files before the NCLT. On admission, a moratorium takes effect and an Interim Resolution Professional is appointed.
Day 0The IRP invites, collates and verifies claims, then constitutes the Committee of Creditors based on the financial debt owed.
As IRP/RP, the company is run as a going concern — preserving operations, value and employment under the oversight of the CoC.
An Information Memorandum is prepared and prospective applicants are invited. Plans are evaluated on feasibility, viability and compliance with the Code.
The CoC votes; once approved by the requisite majority, the plan is placed before the NCLT for sanction and becomes binding on all stakeholders.
Within statutory timelineA sanctioned plan revives the company under new management. Where no viable plan emerges, the matter moves to an orderly liquidation to maximise recovery.
Every decision is weighed against whether it preserves value for the stakeholders as a whole, within the objectives of the Code.
Timelines, disclosures and statutory duties are followed carefully, so outcomes rest on a sound and defensible process.
Creditors, the corporate debtor and the authorities are kept informed throughout, supported by clear documentation.
Audit, tax, valuation and advisory experience allow a situation to be understood in its full financial context.
Matters are handled with attention to detail and within the time frames the framework prescribes.
An insolvency process serves many interests at once; the approach is measured and balanced across the parties involved.

An Insolvency Professional is appointed under the IBC to manage a company in insolvency. Depending on the stage, that means acting as the Interim Resolution Professional, Resolution Professional or Liquidator — running the company as a going concern, verifying creditor claims, convening the Committee of Creditors, evaluating resolution plans, and conducting liquidation where no viable plan emerges.
They are specialist support engagements for the wider IBC ecosystem — other Insolvency Professionals, resolution applicants, financial creditors, banks and legal counsel. Typical work includes resolution plan drafting and Section 30(2) review, financial projections and restructuring models, due diligence, SARFAESI advisory, bank empanelment consultancy and NCLT application drafting.
Matters span construction, textiles, ceramics, pharma, real estate and wellness, before NCLT benches including Ahmedabad, Delhi, Mumbai, Bangalore, Chennai and others — 100+ CIRP, liquidation, personal-guarantor and bankruptcy matters in total.
