After 13 years of experience delivering on large, complex, global programs across auto, pharma, medical devices, CPG, telecom – I am very keen to bring my expertise and competencies to the world of ethical and impact-businesses. I am inspired to work with start-ups and businesses which are striving to build, grow and take their share of pie.
I am not a conventional consultant, I am a rather non-linear problem solver. I believe in the power of integrated approach and do not shy away to understand or venture into technical/ regulatory/ functional areas in addition to an overarching business context (revenues, costs, profits).
I can join your team(s)/ program(s) as advisory partner to work on long term strategy, portfolio management, revenue growth, cost transformation, innovation management, process redesign and more.

Given my experience, expertise; I am uniquely positioned to advise and accelerate around 3 themes:
Strategy & Leadership
I bring together
- first principle thinking of a strategy consultant,
- frugal practices from Indian auto sector,
- policy & process integrity of pharma world,
- story-telling from FMCG, and,
- entrepreneurial competencies from personal ventures.
I do not shy away from ambiguity, complexity, intensity; I rather like to make it simple to understand and chart next steps.
In my experience, I found that a good problem definition is hard to achieve. What are the top 3 areas to focus in your business given the context is my favorite thing to go-after?
While I have delivered on a vast number of programs, 3 themes I have come across in all Strategy and Leadership programs are
- Strategy Definition Workshops
- Leadership & Governance Orchestration
- CEO/CXO Objective Definition and Focus
I would be willing to be your strategy or advisory partner for any of the above.

On the business side, I have mostly been involved in all things Operations and Product focusing in parts or in full. The list of projects I delivered in the past are shared in Sample Projects Delivered which capture adequate details.

- Innovation, Growth& Cost Transformation
- Policy, Processes and Practices Redesign (Operations and Product Functions)

Unstuck: Specific / Focused Business Sprints
Often in my work career, I encountered opportunities to unstuck the status quo. This is a frequent challenge when there are multiple pieces of information missing or large number of teams (or groups) are working together; it’s possible to lose the sight.
I have experience of delivering sprints across multitude of problem types
3 themes where I have contributed most are:
- Opportunity sizing (diagnostics, high-level estimates, etc.)
- Critical Path Hacking (de-risking, speeding, alternate routes to launch)
- Key Performance Indicators / CXO Dashboard Definition
