What We Do

Strategy. Growth.
Execution. Nothing more.

We are an independent management consulting firm in Bengaluru working with founders and leadership teams across India. We don't hand over a report and walk away — we stay until the plan is moving.

01

Business Strategy Consulting

Clarity on where your business should go — and why. We work with leadership teams to diagnose the real problem and build a plan the organisation can follow.

02

Go-to-Market Strategy

The right customers. The right message. The right time. Our go-to-market strategy India engagements help MSMEs define their segment, sharpen their message, and choose channels that work.

03

Execution & OKR Consulting

Turning decisions into progress. As an OKR consultant for growing Indian businesses, we build the goals, accountability structures, and review rhythms that turn plans into outcomes — simple enough to actually use.

Who We Work With

We work with businesses
at turning points.

Our clients are Indian MSMEs, family business owners, and founder-led businesses — typically in manufacturing, consumer goods, retail, distribution, or technology. If you are looking for a business consultant for manufacturing companies in India, this is where we spend most of our time. They are established businesses, often 10 to 30 years old, that have hit a ceiling and need a business growth consultant who understands the ground reality of Indian business.

Some are navigating a business turnaround. Some are entering a new market. Some are profitable but stuck — growing in revenue, shrinking in margin. All of them need simple answers, not complex frameworks.

Why Simpleworks

39 years of experience.
One point of contact.
No unnecessary complexity.

Simpleworks was founded by Prem Menon, a management consultant with nearly four decades of experience across Consumer Durables, Tyres, Telecom, and IT/SaaS — in companies ranging from large corporates to early-growth ventures.

We are an independent consulting firm in Bengaluru by deliberate choice. Every engagement is led by Prem Menon directly — not handed to a junior team.

Our advice is practical, plain-spoken, and built to be understood and acted on — not buried in thick presentations. We work alongside you through execution, not just strategy, staying engaged until the plan is actually moving on the ground.

Common Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

As an MSME consultant based in Bengaluru, we work primarily with Indian MSMEs and small-to-medium businesses in manufacturing, consumer goods, retail, distribution, and technology. Our clients are typically founder-led or family-run businesses with 20 to 500 employees.
Yes. We currently offer in-person counselling in Bengaluru and other major cities across South India, with plans to expand to other regions gradually. For locations we can't yet reach in person, we're happy to work with you through online counselling.
It depends on the problem. Some clients need a focused strategy sprint — three to four weeks to diagnose, decide, and plan. Others need longer-term advisory support through a growth phase or business turnaround. We scope every engagement around the actual need, not a standard package.
Larger management consulting firms in India are built for large organisations.— they bring frameworks, teams, and timelines that don't fit most Indian MSMEs. Simpleworks is built for businesses where the founder is in the room, decisions happen fast, and the plan must be executable by the existing team.
Our deepest experience is in Consumer Durables, Manufacturing, Tyres, Retail and Distribution, Telecom, and IT/SaaS. That said, the strategic problems most MSMEs face — unclear positioning, stalled growth, weak execution — are industry-agnostic. If your business is at a turning point, the industry rarely limits what we can do together.
Yes. Business turnaround consulting is one of our core areas. We work with businesses that are profitable but losing margin, stuck in a growth plateau, or facing a structural shift in their market. The first step is always honest diagnosis — understanding what is actually causing the problem before recommending any intervention.
Yes. We design OKR frameworks that are simple enough for a 30-person business to actually use — not the complex systems built for large enterprises. We set objectives, define key results, build accountability rhythms, and run the first review cycle with you so the team knows how it works in practice.
Fees are scoped after the first conversation, based on the nature and duration of the engagement. There is no standard day rate or retainer package — we price each engagement around what it actually needs. The first call is always free, with no obligation.
Short engagements — a strategy sprint or go-to-market plan — typically run three to six weeks. Longer advisory mandates, including execution support and OKR coaching, usually run three to twelve months. We define scope, milestones, and an exit point at the start so there are no open-ended commitments.
Yes, we can offer a business mentorship to the founder and the business for a specific period. This is a structured engagement where we work closely with you to build clarity on goals, sharpen decision-making, and keep execution on track.
Yes we are open to this possibility of helping the founder reach to his goals and objectives with maybe 2-4 visits per month for a longer duration.
