A few entrepreneurial venture building interventions since 2010:

1. Run a one person global from below ‘think tank’ on sustainability, impact, and development since December 2010

2. Co-Founder in an E&S Consulting firm in a Gulf Capital

3. Scale Up Catalyst for a transnational migration/BHR CSO in Malaysia from three people to twenty-five people since 2019

4. Scale Up Catalyst for a Migrant Cultural Hub in Singapore since 2015

The fifth journey again in the ESG space has built upon these powerful learning and listening journeys in my birth city of Mumbai at the current juncture over the past year.

At the heart of the advisory business is pragmatic problem solving with the best of actionable ideas undergirded by the best of class research (which usually consultants snigger with this is as ‘too academic’). The key is imagination to help the client through the poly crisis, which is dynamic and complex. Thinking about solving it rather than the scope of work will make consultants indispensable in the multiple transitions that confront us.
