Frequently Asked Questions
What exactly is StratosVista Group?
StratosVista Group is a multi-vertical business platform co-founded by Bharat Pahuja. At its core, we are a consulting and advisory house that helps ambitious businesses, startups, and investors succeed across borders.
Beyond consulting, we also operate through our associates in global trade and sustainable agriculture. These partnerships allow us to deliver not just advisory, but also real trade execution and on-ground farming ventures.
Importantly, StratosVista remains open to new partnerships in other verticals—whether lifestyle ventures like boutique cafés, or advisory collaborations in new geographies.
What are the three main business wings of StratosVista?
- StratosVista Strategy & Enablement – Consulting & financial advisory (Virtual CFO, market entry, structuring, project funding).

- Agro & Natural Ventures – Sustainable farming, high-value crops, agri-processing, and export supply chains.
What services fall under your Consulting & Advisory?

What makes StratosVista different from other consultants?
Most consultants stop at advice—we go further.
- Execution-Driven: We don’t just plan; we secure licenses, set up entities, arrange partners, and ensure results.
Finance-Led - DNA: With 15+ years of CFO and cross-border finance experience, our advisory is rooted in financial clarity.
- Borderless Approach: Active networks and presence across India, Africa, and the UAE.
