Your business is growing but processes haven't kept up. Everything feels like it's held together with tape.

Sound Familiar?
You're spending too much time firefighting and not enough time making strategic decisions.
You know something needs to change but you're too close to it to see exactly what.
You've tried fixing things internally and it hasn't stuck. You need an outside perspective.

Who I Am
Arun Mehta
AM
I spent 12 years in operations across manufacturing and services, with my last role as Operations Director at a 500-person firm in Pune. I left in 2019 to consult independently.
I don't believe in reports that sit in drawers. Every engagement ends with something your team can actually implement. I stay until it's working.
I work best with founders and operators who want honest analysis over comfortable answers. I'm not the right fit for every business, and I'll tell you upfront if that's the case.

How It Works
01. Discovery Call
30 minutes to understand your business, the problem, and whether I'm the right person to help.
02. Proposal & Scope
If there's a fit, I send a clear proposal covering scope, deliverables, timeline, and fee. No ambiguity.
03. Engagement
I work closely with your team through weekly check-ins, milestones, and direct progress updates.
04. Delivery & Handover
Every engagement ends with documentation your team can own and run independently.
What Clients Say

Arun identified in 4 weeks what we'd been struggling to see for 2 years. The procurement changes alone paid for his fee 10 times over.

We brought Arun in to help us scale from 30 to 100 people. He built our hiring and onboarding process from scratch. Still running the same playbook 3 years later.

Direct, honest, and deeply practical. He doesn't tell you what you want to hear - he tells you what you need to hear. Exactly what we needed.
