FAQs

Answers to common questions.

What is the smallest engagement you'll take on for renewables programs?+

We typically start with a focused four-to-six week diagnostic before scaling up. Nothing is too small if it is genuinely strategic.

Do you take equity or success fees?+

In select cases, yes. Where interests are clearly alignable and disclosure is clean, we can structure success-linked or equity-linked compensation.

How senior is the team on the ground?+

Every engagement is personally led by PANKAJ MANCHANDA, Founder & CEO, with senior specialists — not junior analysts — carrying the day-to-day workload.

Can we retain you as an ongoing advisor?+

Yes. Many clients keep Chargeman on a quarterly retainer for board, IC and strategic sounding-board support.

How do you protect confidentiality across competing clients?+

Strict information barriers, conflict checks at intake, and dedicated teams per mandate. We routinely serve competing clients in the same sector without any spillover.

Do you provide references from prior clients?+

Yes, on request and with mutual consent. Most of our work is referral-driven, so this is a normal part of our process.
