The People Behind RPAL
Founded by practitioners with hands-on experience across complex corporate and advisory environments.
Founding Partners
B.Sc. | CA | Oracle ERP & RDBMS | EU GDPR Practitioner | Qualified Independent Director (IICA)
Mr. Ninad Raje is a Chartered Accountant who has spent three decades working within and alongside businesses — as a board member, functional head and advisor across Indian and multinational organisations. His work spans Governance, Risk Management, Treasury, Foreign Trade, Data Protection and Corporate and Operational Legal, and is shaped by the perspective of someone who has managed these disciplines from within an organisation, not merely advised on them from outside.
His foundation in Science, combined with the Chartered Accountancy qualification, enables him to understand the technical nature of client businesses across sectors. This cross-disciplinary grounding allows him to provide advice that is calibrated to the client's actual product, process or technology — ensuring that regulatory, compliance and commercial guidance is grounded in the realities of what the client does, not just the financial and legal framework around it.
