My Story

My First 2 BIG problems I had to solve… The two daunting challenges I solved initially…

So far, my life has been about solving problems. It started long back when I conquered two of the biggest personal problems that I faced in the spheres of profession & physical well- being

Physical well-being:

I had been suffering from acute allergic bronchitis since childhood and the doctors had declared that I would have to be on steroid injections for the rest of my life. I didn’t want to take injections of steroids for life-long, I had to solve this problem for good.

Profession:

I changed my line of passion from research in Chemistry to Business Management as a career and had to carve a niche for myself. I had been a National Talent Scholarship holder and had topped in Chemistry at Delhi University. However, certain things changed and instead of doing PhD in Russia, I switched over to MBA to settle faster. Would this change be fruitful?

As a Management Trainee at DCM Chemicals, I chose a project that aimed to increase sales revenue and profits of an industrial chemical by changing the distribution logistics in Uttar Pradesh. Within 4 months the sales increased by 333%. The success of my first project boosted my confidence. My analytics, creativity, and ideation had worked – an alchemist ready for the business world.

I knew that my analytical skills and the ways of approaching problems were out of the box and that I could untangle the chronic complex problems in business to help companies churn higher profits.

However, something was missing, and I was waiting….

I have turned around fifteen companies from losses to profits and taken them on a growth path. In the interim period, I joined the auto component industry to sharpen my prowess in process simplification for business results. The organisation grew from Rs 300 crores to Rs 6500 crores in 11 years.

After 13 years in the auto components sector, I had the inner urge to test whether such skills for transformation and turnaround would apply to other industries too. And I joined a Mobile manufacturing company, aspiring to grow phenomenally. The manufacturing was not able to catch up to the required volumes. Besides, it faced problems of high manufacturing costs, huge inventory, and a poor-quality image. Within two months, we had increased production from 30000 mobiles a day to 50000 mobiles a day, with 1/3rd less workforce. With the support of process equipment suppliers, the warranty problems were reduced to 20%. The gains in cost, quality and delivery enabled the marketing team to expand – The company grew from 1500 crores to 6500 crores in four years.

I have by now worked in less organised sectors such as replacement auto parts, and natural landscaping stones being exported to Germany. And the limitations are in the belief and not in results.

The Key to profit maximization.

Just like any vehicle, be it a motorcycle, car, truck, or even an Airplane, the power comes from its engine, and its unique edge comes from the skill of the driver. Similarly, the strength of any business comes from its systems, technology –people nexus. This holds the key to the success & if misaligned it also leads to the failure of any business organization.

My expertise lies in decoding and leveraging these three to help businesses overcome losses and grow exponentially to become the industry leader.
