The practice
Listing, reporting and the quarters in between. Capital markets communication is a discipline with legal boundaries, a fixed calendar and an audience that reads very carefully, and it punishes improvisation more than any other area of communication.
Pre-listing communication is bounded by SEBI regulation. Enthusiastic founder interviews during a quiet period create genuine legal problems, and the discipline has to be briefed to everyone who might be asked a question.
Analysts model on what you said last quarter. A narrative that shifts between quarters costs you the benefit of the doubt precisely when you need it, in a bad quarter.
Most annual reports are compliance documents nobody finishes. A report written to be understood, with a clear strategic narrative, does real work with the people deciding your weighting.
In an acquisition the internal message reaches employees before the press release reaches journalists, whatever the plan says. Sequence for that reality.

No. We work alongside IR and merchant bankers on narrative, message discipline and press. Regulatory filing and investor logistics stay with your IR and legal advisers.
Twelve to eighteen months before filing. The company's public record and management visibility are both examined, and neither can be built in a quarter.
Built continuously, not at earnings. Analysts who only hear from you when the news is good discount everything you say.
