ABOUT US
India is NOT the Back Office. looks at what is happening in India today. India is no longer just a service hub. It is driving innovation, governance, and workforce transformation in a world that is moving fast.
The project gives decision makers, leaders, and strategic counsellors the context they need on governance, risk, resilience, and inclusion. It also helps them build cultural understanding and belonging across global teams.
From Global Capability Centers and the 330,000 Indian students studying in the U.S., to India’s role in new blocs and hubs, we show how enterprises can grow with trust, equity, and accountability.
What makes this project different is its foundation.

We provide 360 degree strategic counsel with deep expertise across industries and sectors. Our team is based locally and in markets around the world.
