Background 

As a beginner in managing my role of a manager at the age of 30 or so, I realised how inadequate I was in getting anything done. I was confused & scared.

I took to reading management textbooks & later, to reading boutique authors. I remember Peter Drucker distinctively. I read others too & was able to relate their advice to my job.

I must also mention that regular reading of The Economist, impacted my thinking about the world.

During my learning phase, I started writing the lessons that impressed me. These writings are now in this website. I read these articles as & when I need to know what my masters have said.

I believe that there must be others like me, as confused & scared as I was. I believe that if they read this website, they would gain. I remove your fear. People reading this website will find affordability, reliability, security, simplicity, manageability, adaptability, innovation & connection.

They will also find entertainment.

Later

I was CEO & MD of a  listed company for 35 years till October 2018. I have studied tens of management books.

I am now a  private tutor.

I advise businesses. I am a coach, mentor, consultant , motivator, explainer & trainer. I recommend good practices. I improve.

What is my method as a consultant?

1. I insist that the books of accounts  be up-to-date. I find out if the accounts team is adequate. If not, I recommend using an outside experienced accountant. The P&L account & balance-sheet  should be ready frequently. The  projected cash flow statement should be updated daily. I have a special format for the P&L account.

2. I  improve the level of due-diligence.

3. I  improve the 5S activities.

4. I  improve the organisation chart- lines of communication, authority & responsibilities should be clear. I want to improve the level of delegation. I want to right-size the team.

5. I teach these subjects: P&L account’s right format; balance sheet; cash-flow statement; Mission; Vision; BEP & how to derive the same; Pricing; Grade & Quality; Efficiency vs Effectiveness; Meaning of Profit; Meaning of Professional management; CEO’s Job; Delegation; Information Systems; Differentiation & USP; Sales & Marketing & the difference between the two; Motivation; Social knowledge; Growth; Diversification; Innovation; Technology & its importance; Core competence; Competitive advantage; Deciding the right metrics for your business.

Once the above is done, the vocabulary of the team becomes the same. We can understand each other.

6. Find the answer to: Why should anybody buy from us? What is attractive about us?

7. I explain: What nobody  can teach you but must be learned by each individual.

8. Businessmen are lonely people. I become their colleague to discuss & debate.

Once I am hired, it could take up to 6 months to a year to achieve the above.

What is my method as a tutor?

My clients visit my home at Space Twinkle, 4th floor, Mahatma Nagar, Nasik-422007. (opp. Six Sigma Hospital, is Keshvlal Nathubhai jewellers, enter lane next to that, take 2nd left, 3rd building).

I teach various topics on management. The course can be completed in about 10 sessions of 90 minutes each. The student gets personal attention. The training is mainly in English & Hindi with some Marathi.
