WHO ARE WE ?

One of India’s first online curated marketplaces for expert consulting skills; our endeavour is to transform the consulting industry by bringing together deep and diverse business expertise on one curated platform. We engage with the independent professionals for their short to medium term project assignment or business expertise requirements – in a simple, transparent and efficient process.

OUR VALUE

We believe in a close working relationship with our clients – to understand their project consulting needs, suggesting a set of expert options based on client needs, budget and the company’s insights and understanding of the skills in their expert network. We will arrange a client-consultant meeting and engagement to confirm the selection. We also pay close attention to the need for a strong cultural fit between the Expert and Client organization.

Our value proposition to clients can be summarised in the 4C’s
