Viraj Mehta — Co-Founder
I spent 20 years inside Fortune 500 operations — not advising from the outside, but carrying the P&L, the attrition numbers, the board presentations, and the accountability for outcomes. At Kraft Heinz, I built the company's first-ever Global Capability Center from a blank page — 1,000+ capacity, 20+ Centres of Excellence, under 5% attrition against an industry average of 20%. At P&G, I helped launch Planning Service Centres in China and Singapore. At General Mills, I ran the IMEA supply chain, standing up 9 sites across 18 months. That experience is the foundation of Beanz Consulting. I work with Fortune 500 companies and multinationals across five areas: → GCC Advisory — feasibility, location strategy, entity setup, governance design, talent architecture, and turnaround for underperforming centres. If you are planning your first GCC in India or trying to fix one that isn't working, this is where I spend most of my time. → BEANZ ACCORD™ GBS Vendor Audit — a proprietary, fixed-fee, independent audit framework for GBS outsourcing relationships. Built for CFOs, COOs, and Procurement leaders who want an evidence-based picture of what their vendors are actually delivering versus what the contract says — especially ahead of a renewal. → Supply Chain & Operational Excellence — S&OP and IBP design and implementation, inventory optimisation, demand planning, operational diagnostics, and lean transformation. 20+ years of FMCG and Fortune 500 supply chain experience across three continents. → Leadership & Organisational Transformation — ADKAR-based change management programmes, operating model redesign, org structure and governance, and leadership team effectiveness. Built for organisations going through significant transformation — GCC buildouts, post-merger integration, or function-wide capability shifts. → Capability Building & Academies — structured learning programmes, functional academies, and Gallup Strengths coaching for leadership teams. Designed to build internal capability that outlasts the engagement. What makes Beanz different: no conflicts of interest, no vendor relationships to protect, no junior team. Clients work directly with me. Every engagement is designed to make itself unnecessary — I build capability and leave.
