Built by a practitioner who spent over a decade advising businesses across the UAE on market entry, competitive strategy, and growth. Independent by design, with no arrangement-side interest in any deal you screen.
Someone sends you a deck. The location is Abu Dhabi or Riyadh. The ticket is real money. You want to say yes, but your gut is not a due diligence process. A global consultancy would take months and a six-figure fee. A generic chatbot gives you confident nonsense about "the UAE market." Neither gets you a structured answer before the window closes.
GCI was built to close that gap. Not as a replacement for full due diligence, but as the self-serve tool you operate to run your own structured first-pass screen and decide whether a deal deserves deeper work, built by a practitioner rather than a generic model.
Hemant has spent over a decade advising businesses across the UAE on market entry, competitive strategy, and growth. That work spans healthcare, hospitality, real estate, professional services, and F&B: the same sectors where allocators most often misjudge a deal.
That operational experience is the foundation GCI is built on. The conviction framework is not generic logic. It encodes the questions a practitioner asks before committing capital in this region. And because GCI does not arrange, broker, or take positions in the deals it screens, a verdict can read PROCEED, PROCEED WITH CONDITIONS, or AVOID on the evidence alone, with no arrangement-side interest pulling the other way.
