"Elevate Leadership, Accelerate Success"

We love Coaching, Training and OD Interventions but the success in these comes out of the commitment of the subject in these journeys. We have had some really tough coaching assignments where people were written off in their organizations.

A Transformative Journey

KEI Industries Ltd (Case Study)
My journey with KEI began in 2000-01 during a personality profiling session with Mr. Anil Gupta, CMD of KEI. We embarked on a business planning exercise that set ambitious targets, leading to remarkable growth—from INR X cr to INR 1.7X crore in the first year alone.

Over 16 years that I was there, KEI transformed into a powerhouse with a turnover of nearly INR 100X crore in 2017.
This period saw extensive implementation of HR practices:
– Organization structure facilitation
– Job Descriptions (JDs), Key Result Areas (KRAs), and Performance Management Systems (PMS)
– Job Evaluation using Hay’s Guide Charts
– Competency Mapping and Development
– Comprehensive training programs in leadership, team building, conflict handling, and communication skills.

Psychometric tools like MBTI, DISC, 16 PF, and Thomas Kilman were pivotal in our coaching and counselling sessions.

The HR department expanded from a single unit to a robust team, significantly enhancing operational efficiency and employee engagement.
By 2017, KEI had grown to an INR 100X cr company with a significant workforce across multiple locations.

What powered this growth? In my opinion, following were the key drivers of growth for KEI:
