SMEs need consulting to grow, says Pravin Daryani, CMD, A&A Business Consulting Pvt. Ltd

Management consulting space in India has grown at a rapid 15% in the recent past. Where the need for consulting is growing, poor implementation results in consulting services not translating into real time business growth. No wonder, businesses taking consulting services from the market are unhappy and dissatisfied for one reason or the other.

To counter this, “The consulting organizations and clients need a better understanding of what consulting assignment can do for a business. Consultants must learn to fulfil out-of-contract professional expectations of the clients. It should be more about knowledge and implementation and less about mere advice, says Pravin Daryani,” CMD of Mumbai based A&A Business Consulting Services Pvt. Ltd, the leading consulting company for SMEs in India.

Mr. Daryani further says, “SME is a different class in itself; their challenges are local and unique. Our team of consultants are groomed and trained to understand the challenges these SMEs face and purpose of consulting in that context.”

He further added, “Working with SME needs a different approach and thought process altogether and our biggest strength is culture connect to the extent that we understand the pains and mind-set of Indian SMEs to the core. Our clients are able to understand our approach which is simplified in the form of certain set of doables, which our team of professionals implement at the businesses of the SME clients.”

Anyone who has been into servicing SMEs in India, Mr. Daryani’s words will ring true to his ears. In the times that we are living, the dynamic business environment, political and social situations, regulatory changes and economic-growth India is witnessing, mere advice or motivational talk might not serve the purpose of taking Indian SME to the next level. The time has come when we need to shoulder the responsibilities of the SME owners thereby helping them implement the ideas, driving actions in their businesses to effect real time change in business.
