Detailed Review
Company History and Founding
Lakandula Holdings Pte. Ltd. was incorporated in Singapore in 2018 under the name Kumpiyansa Pte. Ltd. and later rebranded. The company operates as a privately held boutique consultancy with a headcount of 2–10 employees, headquartered at 68 Circular Road in Singapore's financial district. It does not have a public website, and its online presence is limited to LinkedIn and mentions at industry events.
Business Model and Methodology
Lakandula Holdings markets its services under the brand Practical Solutions, built on a three-stage methodology: (1) Financial Reconstruction – forensically rebuilding historical records, identifying undisclosed accounts, and preparing reliable statements; (2) System Implementation – deploying tailored ERP solutions with automated controls and real-time reporting; (3) Strategic Advisory – providing CFO-level guidance on capital structure, valuation, M&A, and exit strategies. The firm claims an ROI of 180% to 3,600% through tax savings and improved decision-making.
Client Base and iGaming Focus
Historically serving real estate developers and construction firms, Lakandula Holdings has recently pivoted toward the iGaming sector in emerging markets. Managing Director Jared Valarao has spoken at SPiCE East Asia in 2025 and 2026 on panels covering growth, governance, and market structure in Cambodia, the Philippines, and Sri Lanka. The firm advises iGaming operators on financial compliance, tax optimisation, and scalable operations, particularly in jurisdictions with maturing regulatory frameworks.
Competitive Positioning
Lakandula Holdings competes with consultancies such as Eventus International and Chesterfield International. Its differentiator is the forensic financial reconstruction capability, which appeals to companies needing to clean up historical records to attract investment or pass regulatory audits. The firm's lean structure allows bespoke, hands-on service but limits scalability.
Risk and Licensing
The company holds no gambling or payment-processing licences; it is a pure service provider. Its consulting work is not regulated by gambling authorities, but it complies with Singapore's business registration and accounting standards.
Future Outlook
As Southeast Asian iGaming markets become more regulated, demand for financial compliance advisory is expected to grow. Lakandula Holdings' track record of uncovering hidden liabilities and securing funding makes it a credible partner for operators professionalising their operations. Continued participation in SPiCE events suggests an intention to deepen iGaming expertise.
