SCOPE Rebrands as Sentova, Expands Global Advisory

28 Mar 2026 CW Team

SCOPE has rebranded as Sentova, marking its transition into a global investment banking and financial advisory platform focused on institutional deal-making and cross-border capital flows.

The firm will operate across three core verticals—venture capital fundraising, private equity buyouts and investment consulting—offering end-to-end advisory from deal structuring to transaction closure.

The move reflects growing integration of global capital markets, particularly across the India–Gulf and US–Middle East corridors, where Sentova aims to facilitate capital deployment through its investor network and execution capabilities.

Commenting on the transition, Appalla Saikiran said:
“SCOPE was built to solve one of the biggest challenges founders face that is access to the right capital. Over the years, we have grown from a network-driven platform into a full-stack advisory firm working on complex, cross-border transactions. Sentova represents the next phase of that journey where we combine global capital access, institutional-grade execution, and deep founder alignment to deliver high-impact outcomes.”

Founded in Hyderabad, the platform has built a network of over 20,000 angel investors, 7,000 venture capital firms and more than 200 family offices, facilitating capital access for startups across geographies.

The rebranding reflects its evolution into a mandate-led investment banking model, with operations spanning the US, UAE, Saudi Arabia and India, positioning Sentova as a cross-border advisory platform connecting capital with high-growth opportunities.
