I diagnose what's actually wrong, before anyone drafts a recommendation.
Trained as an engineer — B.Tech in Electronics & Communication from NIT Calicut, then a stint at Philips before founding and running an IoT startup. Cleared the UPSC Civil Services Examination in 2021 at All India Rank 553, and I'm currently awaiting posting to the Indian Civil Service.
Since 2016 I've run an independent consultancy — no firm name, the work is signed personally. My edge is diagnosing the real constraint underneath a business's problems, deepest in finance: controls, planning, cash flow.
The constant underneath all of it is reading — history, philosophy, science, whatever explains why people actually do what they do. I've written about it in public since 2014.
Deepest in finance — controls, planning, cash flow. The brief is usually a symptom; the engagement finds the actual constraint underneath it, triangulated against what line staff say versus what the founder assumes.
Turning spend into measured, defensible impact — not a compliance line item. Standing specialty, built over 11 years of corporate project work.
