Enabling businesses to expand globally with confidence
Mukesh Dhoot & Associates is a boutique advisory firm combining deep regulatory command with real banking and transaction experience across cross-border business.
Two decades on the bank side of cross-border business
Mukesh Dhoot has more than 20 years of experience in banking and cross-border business, including former leadership roles with Citibank, ICICI Bank and YES BANK. Across these institutions he led and structured complex international transactions — the same transactions the firm now advises clients on.
That background gives the firm a rare combination: fluency in FEMA and RBI regulation, alongside a practitioner's understanding of how banks, treasury desks and trade teams actually operate. The result is advice that is both compliant and commercially executable.
The firm is positioned as a strategic advisor rather than only a compliance consultant — helping clients execute international business confidently, not merely satisfy a filing requirement.
