About

I am a founder who has failed and fallen multiple times—with almost no safety net and very little real support. Those lonely years built a lifetime resolve in me: "No entrepreneur who dares to create jobs and build a business should have to fight that battle alone." Entrepreneurs quietly perform one of the most critical roles in any economy—creating employment, absorbing risk, and building institutions—yet they receive the least structural support when leadership decisions go wrong. My single-point mission is simple and non-negotiable: "To ensure entrepreneurs don’t fail and fall because of people and leadership mistakes." Today, I work with mid-market and growth-stage founders and boards across India, GCC, and global markets who are stuck not because of strategy, but because of: • Wrong or misaligned CXOs or department heads • Weak organization design, culture and accountability • Ad-hoc people decisions that quietly compound risk This is where businesses don’t collapse loudly. They erode silently. I step in when leadership decisions stop being operational and become existential—when: • A CXO replacement cannot afford to fail • Growth stalls despite capital and demand • A promoter senses something is “off” but can’t yet name it • Speed is dangerous, but delay is fatal I don’t start with job descriptions. I start with what is breaking, what failure would cost, and who must change. Through BGR-Global, CXO72, and EaseMyHR, my team and I help founders and boards: • Replace or upgrade critical CXOs without prolonged risk and uncertainty • Deploy interim leaders to stabilise finance, operations, and transformation when there is no time to wait • Build a plug-and-play people stack so “people issues” stop blocking growth, exits, and peace of mind Over 39+ years, I have: • Worked with 200+ mid-market and growth-stage clients • Led 500+ senior leadership placements • Operated across 40+ countries • Helped founders scale by fixing people, structure, and execution discipline I am a management alumnus of IIM Ahmedabad and ISB, but my real education came from failure, recovery, and repeated exposure to high-stakes founder decisions. My core belief remains unchanged: • Every business problem is, at its core, a people problem. • FRMA — Focused, Rapid, Massive Action is how you solve it. • The Future is Precision If you are a founder or board member worried that your next leadership decision could quietly break the business, message me with “PEOPLE RISK”. I’ll tell you how I’d de-risk it—clearly and quickly.
