Vedicology Advisors
Vedicology Advisors is an advisory practice for Indian business families and family-owned enterprises. Not portfolio management, not wealth structuring, not a family office. The work is on the human being holding the wealth, not the wealth itself.
The practice works on the questions wealth creates and does not answer. Succession. Identity. Purpose. What a family actually wants from what it has built.
Praveen Saanker founded the practice and is its only advisor.
Every family this size is already advised
A lawyer can move the shares in a fortnight. An accountant can price every part of the business. A bank handles the rest. All of them good, and all of them necessary. None of them will ask the man who built it what he will do on the Monday after he stops. None of them will ask his wife what she wants from the years after that. Those are the questions this practice begins with.
One practice, one advisor
Vedicology Advisors is the practice. Praveen Saanker is the person in the room.
He conducts every engagement himself. Advisory, coaching, Jyotisha and Vastu Shastra alike. There is no associate model, and nothing is handed to a colleague.
Months of conversations before anybody sits together
Four to six months of private conversations come first. Praveen Saanker sees each person several times, and some of those conversations run for hours. Not only the shareholders. The wife, the mother, the in-married. They move a decision without ever being in the meeting, so they are given the same hours. Nothing said in those conversations is repeated to anybody. Not to the rest of the family, not then, and not afterwards.
Until the family can decide for itself
Only then does the family sit together, in a meeting arranged in advance. In that room the thing nobody could say is said out loud. He says it, so that none of them has to. One meeting is rarely enough. The family meets again, and again after that, for as long as it takes. He does not decide anything for the family. He works until they can, and then he stops coming.
