Pro-bono consulting services helping micro and small businesses across India achieve sustainable growth and success.
150+ businesses empowered across India
Empowering small businesses across India with world-class strategic consulting at no cost
Founded in 2018 by a group of experienced consultants with a passion for social impact, our organization was born from a simple observation: micro and small businesses in India have immense potential but often lack access to quality strategic guidance that could help them thrive.
What started as weekend volunteer projects has grown into a structured pro-bono consulting service that bridges the gap between business expertise and entrepreneurs who need it most. Our team consists of professionals who dedicate their skills and time to create meaningful impact.
