While there are umpteen reasons for businesses to boost performance and attain constant scalability, it often seems challenging for many to achieve an effective transformation alone, particularly considering today’s dynamic environment. This imperative yet challenging process demands the expertise of distinct consulting professionals who can understand the whole business nature and its requirements and leverage comprehensive support.

Founded with an objective to be such a platform, Ensconce Consulting, a Bangalore-based company has been empowering businesses, specifically mid-size IT and non-IT companies, to reach their full potential across all aspects of branding and market positioning, workforce transformation, and operational excellence. A brainchild of Srividya Puppala, a technology expert and an illustrious visionary, Ensconce enables leaders to induce sustainable efficiency without straying away from their initial purpose and vision.

The Thought that Started it All

Srividya’s pursuit to facilitate transformation and sustainable develop-ment stems from her extensive experience of serving diverse roles across multiple industries in the US and India in both product and service domains in B2C and B2B markets. During this period, she also shouldered the responsibility of driving quality and process compliances, internal restructuring of organizational practices, and performance management throughout the hierarchy structure. This, in turn, exposed her to the roadblocks that often hinder the growth of the businesses, generally the mid-sized companies and corporations, eventually propelling her to set up Ensconce in 2017.

“Any company that starts with limited resources and capacities will have focus on a specific vertical but diverge into different segments and functions as they grow, losing their clear vision in the process. Hence, most organizations transform in a siloed manner”, corroborates Srividya. Ensconce, however, employs a holistic approach, integrating all critical components of a business to strengthen its branding,workforce management, and operational control. Without a strong brand identity and optimized sales funnel, achieving meaningful business reach and sustainable growth becomes a challenge.

While its strategic branding solutions give its customers a unique edge over their respective competitors, operational excellence consulting services focus on business reorganization, process reengineering, workflow optimization, continuous improvement strategies and sales funnel optimization. Its approach to workforce transformation, on the other hand, aims at refining employee engagement, performance management, and KPI solutions, empowering their employees to spearhead change. Whether it’s restructuring business or brand, implementing departmental changes, or streamlining compliance practices, the company guides its clients through every stage of their growth journey and scaling process.

As A People's Organization

Ensconce places significant importance on customer satisfaction, as evidenced by its happy clients and their positive testimonials. With its modular, flexible, and customizable frameworks, the company has been consistent in surpassing expectations by providing bespoke solutions that can adapt to every strategic goal of the customers without compromising the standards of quality. Such efficiency can also be attributed to its skilled personnel, who collaboratively work to realize Srividya’s mission and design industry-specific solutions and services, which are powered by market research, innovation, and a unique value delivery model. In addition, her strong IT foundation equips the team not just to develop technically sound solutions but also to learn continuously to stay ahead of the curve.

As a process-oriented firm, Ensconce works as an extended arm of its customer organization, working closely with its leaders to align every vertical, helping them utilize their time effectively and preserve quality while adhering to all statutory guidelines. The team makes sure to diligently analyze the customers’ present condition, strengths, weaknesses, and growth potential, including their financial strengths and pain points, and adopts an agile and iterative approach to design a customized solution. The firm’s project management and resource allocation processes further boost cost-efficiency and project delivery time. The service quality, however, is enhanced through its structured feedback loop, transparency, and regular communication. Post-implemen-tation, the service performance is monitored using data-driven insights, guaranteeing continued support.

Srividya’s impact on the business landscape can also be reflected in her contributions to organizations, including MSME World, PMI Bangalore Chapter, FICCI, COWE, GWS, WICCI, MSME-DI (Government of India), and the Indian Leadership Academy. She has also served as a guest and motivational speaker for both IT and non-IT companies. “Ensconce has been fortunate to be associated with the Indian Institute of Management, Bangalore (IIMB) in its early years through its 10,000 Women Goldman Sachs Programme. Ensconce sincerely appreciates the support and the inspiration that the mentors Nagaraja Prakasam and Harsha Mutt, provided”, acknowledges Srividya. Deeply committed to CXOs and entrepreneurs, Ensconce has also participated in various initiatives that aid operational excellence and entrepreneurship. The company has guided management professionals through seminars and conferences and has partnered with academic institutions to help them draft curricula, student development strategies, and incubation center initiatives for students and entrepreneurs.

En Route to the Future

Over the years, Srividya has supported over 350+ clients and earned various prestigious awards, like the ‘Women Excellence Award’ by the Indian Achievers’ Forum, where as her venture has received honors like the ‘Atmanirbhar Bharat Awards 2021’. Emphasizing its core values and mission, the company has created a strong brand identity both physically and digitally through its website and media channels. “Given our long-term expertise and success stories, we are developing a holistic business software solution to offer enhance workflow automation and transparency, assess organizational health, and streamline various aspects of business transformation”, asserts Srividya. Furthermore, she also hopes that this tech suite can extend her team’s capacity to serve more clients and support their growth at scale. Backed by such strategic goals, Ensconce aims to emerge as an industry leader by continuing to leverage revolutionary solutions that facilitate the success of its stakeholders.
