Srikanth Kumar Kota,DirectorFrom helping them to formulate business models, cut costs, predict risk and innovate products, to strengthening their processes for managing talent, staying compliant and recruiting staff, consultancies support their clients in a multitude of ways. This has significantly helped organizations stay ahead of the curve when adopting digital technologies, or adapting to rapidly shifting geopolitical situations. However, the market lacks players who can offer help to the medium and small scale organizations to level up their game so as to compete with the bigger players in the market today. Most of these small to medium scale businesses cannot afford the bigger consulting service providers, hence resulting in the gap that someone has to fill in. Hence, the market today lacks consulting companies which will cater to the smaller, medium companies at the micro level and help them address their issues to the core.

Today, the consulting industry is completely unorganised, wherein, these consultants are individual or freelancers. So the problem here is, either one has to choose between big brands or freelancers who cannot be relied upon. One of the biggest challenges that lingers in the market today is the lack of understanding. And because of this limitation of knowledge, there is lack of proper guidance, mentoring and coaching. And, whenever they try to achieve or work something on a client's project, it will backfire on them and won't be able to handle and come up with a robust solution. Also, NGC is not only helping the organizations, but is also helping the professionals individually for certifications. So, it's a 360 degree support to organizations right from organizational, personal, to professional level.

We help managers to take on leadership. I personally used to coach them for that. So the executive coaching is also part of our services.

They may not spend too much money to get better results, and that is where our approach comes in," concludes Srikanth.
