The Problems

Six places where filings break down.

DRHP review isn't one problem. It's six, layered on top of each other. Each adds days to the timeline and risk to the filing.

  1. P / 01

    Overwhelming data density

    Cross-referencing 800+ pages of disclosures against evolving mandates is prone to fatigue-driven oversight, and the cost of missing a single inconsistency compounds across review cycles.

  2. P / 02

    Fragmented regulatory frameworks

    Compliance requires simultaneous adherence to SEBI ICDR, the AIBI Compendium, and the Companies Act, 2013. The hardest gaps to catch are the ones hiding in the overlaps between them.

  3. P / 03

    Compressed deal cycles

    Volatile market windows demand faster filings, but speed cannot come at the expense of regulatory integrity, or the deal itself is at risk of being pulled.

  4. P / 04

    Internal inconsistencies across the draft

    Distributor counts that don't match between page 142 and 287. Six product categories declared in the narrative, five in the revenue table. SEBI flags these, every time.

  5. P / 05

    Unsubstantiated superlatives

    "Key player," "market leader," "superior service" without supporting evidence in the document, these phrases trigger query letters and burn weeks of review time.

  6. P / 06

    Expensive external counsel for routine review

    Senior compliance partners spend hours re-reading drafts to catch what a structured review could surface in minutes. The cost is real, and the bottleneck is worse.

Your compliance intelligence layer for DRHP filings.

Prefyle is an agentic engine that mirrors the logic of a senior merchant banker. It reads the draft against the legislative intent of SEBI ICDR, the AIBI Compendium, and the Companies Act, 2013, flagging gaps with the consistency only software can deliver.

Features

How the review runs in the backend.

Six capabilities, shaped by how merchant banking compliance teams already work.

Chapter-based reasoning

Segments the DRHP by chapter so context is preserved for each disclosure section. No keyword-matching across unrelated parts of the document.

Grounded in regulatory text

Every flagged issue is tied to a specific clause in the source regulation. Citations are pulled from the regulatory corpus before the model writes, not generated alongside it.

Multi-regulation cross-reference

Tests the document against ICDR, AIBI, and the Companies Act in parallel, surfacing the gaps that fall in the overlaps.

Citation-first reporting

Every flag points to the exact regulation, sub-clause, and DRHP page number. Auditable by partners. Defensible to the regulator.

Encrypted ingestion

Drafts are processed in a sealed environment. Your data is never used to train base models. Built for vendor security review.

Sharpens with use

Corrections feed your firm's private retrieval layer, not the base model. Your instance accumulates your house view without your data leaving it.

How It Works

Five steps. One audit trail.

From upload to citation-backed gap analysis. A workflow shaped by how merchant banking teams already review compliance.

  1. 01

    Choose the report type

    Start with the DRHP. RHP, addendums, and prospectus updates sit on the roadmap.

  2. 02

    Define the framework

    Test against ICDR, AIBI, or the Companies Act, individually or all three in parallel.

  3. 03

    Select chapters or the full document

    Run a focused review on a single chapter, or hand over the entire 800-page draft.

  4. 04

    Upload securely

    PDF, DOCX, or XLSX. Encrypted ingestion. Your draft stays inside a controlled environment.

  5. 05

    Receive the gap analysis

    A citation-backed report mapping each clause to the regulation it conflicts with. Ready for partner review.

Why Prefyle

Built by people who've
read the master circular.

Not a generic document AI repackaged for compliance. Purpose-built around the regulatory architecture of Indian capital markets.

Citations over summaries

Every flag points to the exact regulation, sub-clause, and DRHP page. The output is a working document for the partner. Summaries hide their sources; this one shows them.

Encrypted from the moment of upload

Drafts are processed in a sealed environment for every firm on every plan. Security isn't a setting you have to find.

Shaped for how partners read

Reports are organized by section, by severity, by regulatory source. The same structure a partner already uses to review a draft, so nothing has to be reorganized before the meeting.

Learns your firm's reading

Corrections feed your firm's private retrieval layer. Over time, the tool reflects how your team interprets the regulations, which is what makes the output sound like your house view instead of a generic one.
