Indian Consulting Sector
B
y the virtue of progression over the last three decades, the Indian consulting
Industry is under the spotlight – for all good reasons. As businesses continue to
flourish, the Indian consulting market has emerged to be an absolute winner in
recent times.
Along with substantial growth in service offerings, the consulting domain has registered
a massive increase in size too. As per reports from Assocham – (The Associated
Chambers of Commerce and Industry of India), consulting business is set to be a 27,000
crores industry by the year 2020. While Specialization, technology, globalization of
IT/ITES industry, and other core factors fuelling this evolution, it’s more interesting to
note that world is witnessing such transformations that have never been thought earlier
while using the conventional mechanism.
Among the attributes that have helped the industry to expand, having expert
professionals or SME’s is one element that has turned out to be a game changer,
especially while analyzing the global consulting domain. Catering niche services has
boosted the industry as today we have a plethora of professionals who have the acumen
in managing specific areas. It has also resulted in opening up more opportunities as
players are investing heavily on exploring new areas and R&D.
The liberal policies and reforms introduced by the Government are also playing a
captain’s knock in bringing investment within the country. Global consulting giants like
Accenture, Bain & Company, KPMG, McKinsey & Company, Deloitte and others are
fighting it hard to expand their presence within the Indian sub-continent by aligning with
the local players.
With all these positive elements getting evenly placed in the Canvas of the Indian
consulting domain, the present, and the future is nothing else but a flourishing road
ahead.

With a surge in the number of entrepreneurial
ventures, SME’s along with MNC’s
expanding their existing business areas,
business consulting firms are playing a crucial role in
designing the business model for new-age businesses.
The consulting domain has evolved as a realm of
business management as it offers innovative solutions to
scale performances and new ways of running operations.
Today’s HR consulting market is broadly divided into
two segments - companies that look for candidates and
candidates who are looking for opportunities to build
their careers. The utmost challenge is to comprehend the
job requirements to the core and aligning the right set of
professionals. Decoding the complexities along with
directly dealing with professionals is a daunting task and
hence HR consulting market is witnessing a huge flow in
the industry. The varying landscape and changing
requirements have forced the consulting market to

industry.

13. Career Advancements
The company gives special emphasis on nurturing the backbone of the entire work eco-system – the professionals who
are the real assets for UpMan Placements. It has built the human capital on three dimensions:
STRONG HR POLICIES
The company is committed
to having transparent
governance and has set a fair
framework that keeps
updating as per the changing
environment. Reviews,
feedbacks from the teams at
regular intervals are taken to
improve the existing process
delivery system that aligns

LEARNING & DEVELOPMENT
UpMan Placements invest in
upgrading the skills and the
competencies of the team
through external
intervention. Based on the
requirements, it conducts
training and organizes
development programs for
the workforce. On average, at
least 2 interventions are
organized every year. “I firmly
believe that self-
development is an important
aspect of respecting the
individual contribution”
– asserts Nigam.
REWARDS PROGRAM
The organization has
launched multiple
structured-oriented
incentive programs aimed at
encouraging outstanding
performances. Along with
incentives, the Annual
rewards ceremony is a
special occasion that is
eagerly looked upon by the
employees.

14. Banking, Finance, Insurance, Healthcare, IT, Telecom,
Engineering, Biotech, Pharma and more!
Nigam firmly believes in the power of transparent
recruitment ecosystem where consultants could come
together and solve the challenges the industry jostles
today. To improve the dynamics of the Recruitment
ecosystem, he has started an initiative to help the local,
independent freelancers and recruiters by investing in
them to build their businesses. He is also taking robust
measures to put an end and find solutions to a majority of
recruitment challenges like window shopping, client
exclusivity, due diligence check etc.
Showcasing the Positive Values
Acknowledging the role of various technology platforms
that have transformed the staffing business, as a nimble
organization UpMan Placements have also been able to
reset new directions along with being a part of numerous
transitions to enhance its operations. Having technology,
workforce and marked its presence in the industry, the
company feels it’s the time to collaborate and grow,
rather than to compete along with other players and
grow. It has innovated industry-specific solutions - RPO
for bulk hiring and HR Interventions, that have been
appreciated among the peers. As the SME space is
demanding more structured HR interventions, the
company has identified it as an upcoming segment and
has designed a separate vertical for the same. It also
looks forward to exploring the overseas market along
with building more talent verticals within UpMan that
can help to serve the clients in the most utmost manner.
Tips for New-age Entrepreneurs
Nigam feels that identifying the problem is the foremost
activity to be undertaken by every aspiring entrepreneur.
Believing and standing against all odds to support the
idea along with been grounded and approachable are
some of the winning traits of a leader. Nigam says
–“identifying the right set of people who align with the
value and culture of the organization is a key element
that helps to cement the pillars of the company”.

18. As the clients’ exposure to consulting services
increases, they are becoming more demanding. They
expect value for money. With this mindset, Mumbai
based Performance Enablers was incepted in January, 2017.
It all started with the mission to unleash people potential for
mutual good of individuals, organizations, communities and
the society at large.
The firm strongly believes that designing and instituting
changes in a client organization requires deep understanding of
its culture, ethos and mindset of the key stakeholders. To have
a grasp on all of these requires close engagement with the
client organization over a period of time and leveraging of the
internal networks. The firm therefore, focuses on long term
engagements and works as an external arm of the HR function
of the client organizations.
“Humility, keenness to learn, authenticity, co-creation of
solutions with the clients, fairness and commitment to value
addition, are some of the values that define us.” says Dr.
Pramod Solanki, the Founder.
The Voyage
After three decades of association with some of the best
institutions and corporates in the country, Dr. Pramod began
his journey as a consultant. He is very thankful to his mentors
and friends who encouraged him to pursue this track and that’s
how Performance Enablers was born
“Working under the guidance of some of the best - known
faculty and HR thought leaders and, interacting with some of
the brightest students of the country and corporate leaders
who came to the IIM Ahmedabad, was an enriching experience
and laid the foundation for the rest of the career.” states Dr.
Pramod.
The firm partners with organizations- for commercial and not-
for-profit, to help them leverage the HR. It aims to be a
preferred partner for organizations to address people related
challenges. And, for that it is working hard.
As his experience had largely been around design and
implementation of people processes to address identified
challenges, he has been focused on taking up assignments in
the same domain. Though it took some time for the clients to
repose the trust required to handle such assignments by an
external person, once the work began, the demand has only
grown. Since then, there have been exciting assignments across
the HR spectrum.
The Breadth and the Depth of Services
The services of the firm cover entire gamut of HR work- from
hiring to exit. With rich experience in HR, he also takes up the
role of Consultant Chief HR Officer (CHRO) for some of the
mid-sized companies. Most of the time, these are long term /
ongoing assignments. Though the nature of the assignments is
driven by the need as communicated by the client or as
identified through the diagnostic work, these broadly fall in the
domain of Organization Development (OD). More specifically,
the interventions have been around Executive Coaching,
Leadership Effectiveness, Employee Engagement and Design
of processes across the HR verticals. Further details can be
found on the website: performancenabler.com
The firm keeps abreast of the developments in the consulting
space by participating in the professional events, conferences
and workshops.
The Major Challenges in Consulting
The consultants who drive improvement efforts, particularly in
the HR space, need to draw upon not only on their domain
expertise. But, it’s also on their ability to quickly understand
the social and political networks in a client organization. This
is necessary as any change effort cannot succeed without the
buy-in of the key stakeholders. This requires time and
continuous engagement, which can be a challenge when a
consultant is chasing revenue targets, to the exclusion of value
addition to the clients.

20. Then, there are pricing pressures as many new consultants
would reduce fee for their services just to gain entry into the
space.
Technology Impact on the Consulting Market
Like any other business, consulting has also been impacted by
technology and different organizations are at different stages of
maturity in usage of technology.
There are organizations that leverage technology for speed,
accuracy and eliminating the drudgery in the consulting work
so as to use that time to reflect deeply on the issues and bring
greater insights to the table. There are also others that flaunt
the technology they use with little or no integration with the
human effort or purpose of the assignment.
Future Plans
In the coming future, the firm sees itself emerging as service
provider of choice in HR space. And, for that it is continuing
with its approach of long-term engagement with the clients.
This is what ensures that it delivers value to the clients.
Clients’ Voice
For the firm, the biggest milestone or award is its clients’
acknowledgement that they benefitted by partnering with
Performance Enablers. Below are some of the excerpts of what
clients have spoken about Performance Enablers.
Amar Amin
Founder & CEO at MatchpointGPS, Inc. and
TrackpointGPS Pvt Ltd.
I feel happy to write about Dr. Pramod Solanki who has been
working with us since July 2017. He has been providing
leadership to our HR function ever since. During this period,
our HR processes - from recruiting to exit, have been fully
streamlined, from design as well as execution standpoint.
With his support, we have successfully manned all the
leadership and other critical positions in the organization, with
quality talent. I have no hesitation in saying that for a
fast - growing organization like ours, Pramod’s role in
organization building and injecting requisite seniority,
mentorship and direction to our leadership team has been
instrumental.
I wish him continued success in all his endeavors.
Vinit Asher
Head -Family office of Asher’s
Dr. Pramod Solanki has been working with us since last one
year and a half. He began with us as an executive coach for my
younger brother who takes care of my software business
(Techease Systems Pvt. Ltd). Seeing his passion and
commitment to the task at hand, we engaged him as an adviser
for our software business.
In the last one and a half year, Pramod has not only
streamlined the HR function in our software unit, he has
improved some of our key business processes like sales review
and interface between sales and deliver teams. Our software
unit has benefitted tremendously from his process
improvement inputs.
Besides his professional insights, Pramod stands out for his
passion and total commitment to add value. I am sure he would
be an asset for any organization he works with.
Santosh Jagdhane
The Head-CSR at Dorf Ketal Chemicals (India) Pvt. Ltd.
Dr Pramod Solanki is providing voluntary services to our
Educational Development Project being implemented in
partnership with Navdrushti, an NGO in the Govt.
Ashramshala, Dabheri, Taluk- Jawahar, District- Palghar,
Maharashtra and Sumitra Public School, Babai, Taluk and
District- Hoshangabad, MP, India. The goal of this project is to
develop holistic personality of tribal and rural students by
providing them a quality of education.
In a nutshell, Dr Solanki is ‘THE DAILY DRUCKER’ for us.
His well-balanced advice on project management, monitoring,
evaluation, capacity building and training & development has
helped us considerably to take our project at next level. He
visits to our remotely located project sites and enthusiastic
participation in our monthly review meetings and helped us
progress of project and also helped us improve our
Plan-Do-Review Cycle with love, passion and compassion. He
is a free fountain of knowledge and experiential learning for
us. He has simplified our understanding of Human Investment
and its importance which has helped us to align our goal and
vision with our project implementing team.
Dr Solanki is a leading role model for many consultants. Like
him, other consultants should also develop the NGOs and help
build our country. May God bless him with health and zeal to
serve our society.

hedding off the Western Influence and creating a
New India There are millions of problems in India
and we have 1.3 billion people to solve these
problems. About 300 million people in India came out of
poverty in the last one decade. That’s a big achievement,
but there are millions of people who are still below the
poverty line. There are over 2 million children living on the
Indian streets, who are in need of a hand who can take them
out of their situation. A lot of work needs to be done, so that
1.3 billion people together can create a New India, as
prosperous as it was in ancient times. Just three centuries
back, everyone wanted to come to India because it was the
richest country on the Planet. The time has come to get
back the lost glory.
21st century is the time of India
But how many of us have stepped out of our comfort zones
and have taken any initiative to transform our country? We
need more and more people who don’t work just for
creating their own lives, but who have the wisdom to look
beyond, who can create products or services which can
enhance the lives of millions and billions of people. India
has already become the 2nd largest start-up ecosystem on
the Planet. Thanks to government initiatives such as
Start-up India, Stand-up India launched by PM Modi and
his government. The initiatives have inspired many to take
the path of entrepreneurship. But, we still need more and
more entrepreneurs.
Entrepreneur - An old wise man?
Wisdom is a characteristic which is usually associated with
old age. Why can’t we associate it with someone young?
Most of the entrepreneurs who fail don’t fail because of the
product, business model, funding or any other reason, but
they fail because of the lack of wisdom. We need to bring
this wisdom back in our culture. It still exists in some
fractions of the society but largely it is missing. As
entrepreneurs, we have to do decision-making all the time.
A wise entrepreneur will take the right decisions most of the
times, which will help him/her to make the impact they
want to make. Wisdom helps you get in-depth insights and
brings clarity and clarity helps you take a right decision.
Seeking wisdom from Ancient India
India is a land of seekers and ancient India was full of
wisdom, it still exists in bits and pieces, here and there. But,
due to western influence, this wisdom is constantly
questioned by the minds of people, who don’t go beyond
logic. Logic is okay, but it works only in very limited
situations. Can you explain the whole of existence with the
help of your logic. Can it fit in a small brain of a human
being whose own existence is for a very limited period of
time on this Planet? Modern science has a very long way to
go. Intuition is greater than logic, whereas intuition doesn’t
even fit in rational ways of thinking.
Shedding off the Western Influence and creating a New
India
Time has come when we have to shed off this western
influence from us. Once we do that, the wisdom will find a
way to reveal itself. India is a very rich country when it
comes to culture and traditions. We at Elysian Studios are
working towards bringing this wisdom back to mainstream
using the latest visual technologies. Ancient wisdom when
combined with the latest technology creates bliss!

Employee Development
The company firmly believes that their workforces are its
biggest asset and hence it always looks forward to
empowering the workforce of the company. By conducting
regular trainings, enhancing their skill sets and most
importantly – giving them the authority to manage the
operations enables them to put forth their ideas and
suggestions into reality. The basic objective is to provide a
platform that allows them to be independent and take
matured decisions that fuel the company to progress
together.
Right from defining the basic policies, rules to ensuring that
the policies are implemented at the ground-level, employees
play a pivotal role in defining the company. Most of the

some study and build their careers. As a matter of fact,
almost all of them have been with the company since its
inception.

business is quite generic – out of 100 companies in the
foray, only ten-fifteen companies are the best in business
and stand against each other to garner maximum clients.

the entity feels that HR consulting function is at every green
vertical. Analyzing the current market trends, it asserts that
HR Analytics is an area which seems to be catching growth.

the umbrella of HRM, now it’s time to analyze the
future roadmap of the HR domain. Over the past
years, the process and functions have been
conventional, however, with the change of time,
the industry also needs to adapt to smarterways
ofdoing business.

strategies of the HR team that includes
corporate culture, business & services
continuity plans for the leadership team. It

the most utmost way.
AI is the ‘next’ Big Change
Standing tall as a giant, technology is undoubtedly the reckoning force. It's quite evident that
sticking to traditional business models will phase out the conventional players eventually.

improve the HRM team. Today, more and more organizations are coming forward to
implement AI technologies in the areas of data opportunities, talent acquisition, improving
internalprocess and much more.

39. REDEFINING'CORE'HRACTIVITIES
Tillnow,we always have known the HR team
for managing the administrative activities
including the processing of salary, leaves,
hiring and so on. However, this approach is a
thing ofthe past. Organizations are investing
time to explore the remit of HR by
concentrating on core areas of work.
Aligning the HR team along with the Line
/Employee managers are assisting a big
wayto improve the skillsets ofemployees at
a micro level and multiplying productivity at
the macro level. Building a mutual
atmosphere of trust is one of the vital
elements for any HR team and hence it
needs to adapt and embrace policies that
aim to nurture the relationship between HR
and operations.
CORPORATEWELLNESS
As organizations continue to fight formarket
space and expanding their businesses, a lot
of pressure and stress falls directly on the
HR and operations to ensure a winning seat
every time. Recent studies have revealed
that workload and stress are the trending
factors that lead to attrition and loss of
performance. Here again, the HRM has a
strong role to play to ensure seamless
solutions. The wellness programs are a big
step to improve employee engagement as it
involves the employee at each step.
Meditation centers, Gym, management
workshops, WFH, balanced work-life
policies, leaves - are some of the areas that
have grown a lot and continue to be helping
the HR team in the longrun.
PERSONALIZATION
Over the years, the HR industry and
professionals have always focussed on
'one-rule-for-all' theory. Be it recruitment,
salary processes, training and more. This
theory is however shading away as HRM is
now emphasizing on each individual and is
innovating solutions that are specific and
better placed. Placing analytic processes,
the HR system is now looking to check the
individual requirements, capabilities, along
with revamping the operation process too. A
simple example that shows the paradigm
shift is mentioned below - rather than
following the standard on-boarding
process, the HR is now focusing to cater to
the questions or in providing information to
professionals that help them to simplify the
process.
REMOVINGDISCRIMINATION
Lack of education and social stigmas, have
hindered the growth prospects of our
country for a long time. Additionally,
discrimination at the workplace has been an
age-long issue that has been debated for
long. These biased notions have hampered
the prospects of the organizations but
somehow, it is still prevalent. Right starting
from education to color, religion, and what
not, professionals have been targeted.
HRM has now taken this task in priority to
stop discrimination and motivate diversity in
the work environment. Countless studies
backed by statistical data shows that
professionals with different ethnic
backgrounds and experience go a long way
in fuelling innovations. It helps the business
to perform effectively and stay aligned to
the business goals.
