Six shapes the work
tends to take.
These are not products. A client rarely arrives needing exactly one. Most engagements cut across two or three. We describe them here as shapes — entry points into a conversation about what the work actually requires.
-
Market Entry Strategies
Crossing into Japan, India, or SEA.
Research, entry planning, and risk assessment. The first eighteen months are where most market entries succeed or fail. We spend the early weeks challenging the assumptions in the plan before writing a new one.
-
Cross-Cultural Advisory
The part most consultancies skip.
Japanese senior executives read a proposal very differently from Indian ones. We advise CEOs and CXOs on the specific meetings they are about to walk into — not in the abstract, but in the particular.
-
HR Advisory
People strategy for multi-country operations.
Running an India–Japan–SEA workforce on a single HR playbook is expensive. We bring senior talent strategy, compensation design, and cross-border workforce management grounded in how these markets actually work.
-
Business Growth Advisory
Partner identification, distribution, first hires.
Partner identification, distribution design, the right first hires, the slow building of reputation. We do this work alongside senior client teams, not as a deck from a distance.
-
Regulatory Compliance
Three jurisdictions, three regulatory regimes.
We work with specialist legal counsel in each market and provide the senior oversight layer that turns their advice into something a CFO can act on.
-
Financial Advisory
Led by Puneet Nayyar, FCA.
M&A, due diligence, IFRS, financial planning, funding advisory. The strategic financial thinking that mid-cap Japan–India corridor businesses often need and rarely get at this seniority.
