Human. Capital. Strategy.
We are an outcome-driven boutique strategy consulting and Investment Banking advisory firm with a presence in London and Bangalore. We transform the consulting experience by placing people at the core of everything we do.
Mid-Market Enterprises (MMEs), including mid-sized banks and NBFIs, drive innovation and economic growth but often lack access to the high-cost strategies of large consulting firms. That’s where we come in.
