Mission and Values
We are a boutique technology and management consulting firm targeting – Mobile Operators, Enterprises, OEMs, High-tech Startups, and Investors. We leverage our breadth and depth of industry knowledge in selected and focused technology areas to provide our independent opinion and functional expertise. While we stay independent to provide ‘unbiased’ industry insights to your executive leadership team, we work as an ‘embedded’ expert in your functional teams across selected organizations – Marketing, Product Management, R&D/Engineering, Strategy, and Business Development. We have flexible agreement models and undertake short-term (from 4 to 12 weeks) to long-term (6 to 12 months) projects on cost-effective tiered-rates or on a fixed-cost basis of a well defined project.
In addition to consulting services, we are also an Angel Investment firm focused on seed level investments in the Internet of Things (IoT), Machine Learning (ML), Artificial Intelligence (AI), and IoT-Analytics space. We make our investment decisions based on three T's - Team, Technology, and Transformation (idea).
These five core values and traits define our conduct and consulting philosophies, dubbed as TRRIC:

These five core values and traits define our conduct and consulting philosophies, dubbed as TRRIC:
- Trust - A professional and personal relationship must start with Trust – without it, there is no relationship!
- Respect - Respect is a “two-way” street – the more you give, the more you get!
- Responsibility – Accountability and understanding our ‘duties’ in often challenging situations is the foundation of our professional conduct.
- Integrity – Integrity is fundamental to everything we do at every step of our way – we recommend what is right for your business.
- Compassion – In professional and personal situations, we put ourselves in your shoes and act sympathetically with a balanced approach.
