I believe, the cause of concerns are dated and reflects very poorly on Indian economy on the part of tax administration not being able to distinguish between the NEW and the OLD India.

What is your top priority?

If you are a CEO or the managing director of your company and wishing to take the business to 2x or 3x in minimum amount of time – how do you think you would approach this. Think for 5 minutes before you continue reading any further. If the list is any more than three top priorities, i suggest you speak with us once. If the list does not include at least two actions on client acquisition, client-centricity and Revenue focus then you are not close to achieving what you have set out for. This is where we could add value – we partner to allow you to focus on what is revenue aligned by adding right actions on your priority list and subtract and delegate to expert advisors what is cost aligned and not top priority.

This would enable growth at significant pace. Subtract while you add.
