Management Consulting for Established MSMEs · BengaluruYour business has more in it than your current results show.

As an MSME consultant based in Bengaluru, we work primarily with Indian small and medium enterprises in manufacturing, consumer goods, retail, distribution, and technology. Small enterprises are typically ₹10 to ₹100 crore in revenue; medium enterprises ₹100 to ₹500 crore. Our clients are founder-led, family-run, or professionally managed businesses, usually with 50 to 500 employees.

A fair question. The honest answer: a ₹25 crore business isn't a scaled-down version of the corporates I ran — you don't have a planning department or six layers to absorb a bad call. But the career looks different from the inside. Through those corporate years, my customers were businesses like yours — distributor owners, dealers, and retailers turning over ₹12 to ₹150 crore, mostly family-owned, often carrying several brands at once. At Airtel, I led a team in direct sales to MSMEs and corporates, covering 2,500 accounts. At Tata Docomo, I managed a multi-crore business across a network of small and large distribution partners. So a large part of my working life has gone into understanding how smaller businesses actually buy, operate, and decide — I spent those years in their offices, not mine. From 2016 to 2025, I ran two ventures of my own — small teams, tight cash. The judgement comes from large companies. The context is one I've worked in for most of forty years, stripped down to what a business your size can actually carry, run by the people you already have.

Full engagements — GTM strategy and OKR execution — are in-person in Bengaluru. That work needs to happen inside your business: on the floor, in the room, watching how decisions actually get made. Coaching can be done remotely. If you're not based here, we offer remote coaching and advisory calls — useful for ongoing guidance, a specific strategic question, or a second opinion.

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 Consulting 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.

We have a pricing model for a project and a monthly fixed-day retainer package. Fees are scoped after the first conversation, based on the nature and duration of the engagement. We share pricing once we understand the complexity of the problem. 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.

Fill in the contact form on this page, send a message on WhatsApp, or email pm@simpleworks.in directly. We will get back to you within one business day to schedule a first call. That conversation is free — use it to explain what you are dealing with and we will tell you honestly whether and how we can help.
