They were grappling with rapid growth, leading to a sprawl of units and processes, and an urgent need for manpower optimization to maintain their competitive edge.

We initiated a phase-wise study, scrutinising each business process from the plant to sales, identifying redundancies and areas for integration. The outcome? A tailored organogram with optimised job roles, clear KPIs, and a plan for sustainable growth.
