Capabilities

Five practices.
One operator's view of India.

Our work spans India market entry, media strategy, sports IP, production advisory, and brand consulting. We map the right combination to each mandate — and engage at partner level throughout.

01 / Anchor practice

India Market Entry
& Growth Strategy

Who it's for

Global brands, platforms, and businesses entering India for the first time — or in their second wave after an initial entry that didn't compound.

India is the world's most consequential growth market and the most misunderstood. Distribution doesn't work the way decks suggest. Pricing logic is regional, not national. Channel partners need to be earned, not bought.

We help global businesses build their India operating model from the ground up — and rebuild it when the first version stalls. The work starts with commercial structuring and ends with the people, partners, and processes that compound over years.

What we do

Market mapping & opportunity sizing
Distribution & partnership architecture
Localisation strategy & pricing
Commercial structuring & entity setup
Channel partner identification
Regulatory & ecosystem navigation
India leadership hiring support
First-90-day execution oversight
02 / Practice area

Media & IP
Monetisation

Who it's for

Sports leagues and federations, OTT platforms, rights holders, and media businesses building long-term commercial value from owned IP.

The most valuable IP in media isn't the content itself — it's the rights architecture around it. Sponsorship structures, broadcast deals, and platform partnerships compound differently than ad revenue, and they reward operators who understand the levers.

We work with rights holders to structure commercial deals that hold up beyond the first cycle, and with brands and platforms to evaluate IP investments with the rigour they deserve.

What we do

Sponsorship architecture & valuation
Broadcast & streaming rights strategy
IP creation & commercialisation
Content partnership structuring
Long-term rights monetisation
OTT platform strategy
Analytics & measurement frameworks
Investor & M&A diligence support
03 / Practice area

Brand &
Marketing Strategy

Who it's for

Consumer brands at scale-up inflection points, growth-stage businesses preparing for capital raises, and category leaders restructuring brand investment.

Most brand strategy decks confuse activity with positioning. We don't. The work is to identify the one thing your category will remember you for, and architect the commercial system that gets you there.

Our brand work is informed by 30 years of watching what actually moves consumer behaviour in India versus what just earns awards. We're allergic to both extremes.

What we do

Brand positioning & narrative
Go-to-market strategy
Media mix evaluation
Marketing organisation design
Investor narrative & readiness
Scalable growth systems
Category strategy & segmentation
Marketing ROI restructuring
04 / Practice area

Production
Cost Optimisation

Who it's for

Studios, platforms, and brand-side teams commissioning films, web series, TVCs, and branded content where production governance has slipped.

Production economics in India have shifted faster than most procurement teams have updated their assumptions. Cost benchmarks from three years ago are now off by 30–40% in either direction. Governance frameworks built for TVC budgets don't transfer cleanly to long-form content.

We bring transparent benchmarks, real production knowledge, and the structural changes that make budgets predictable without compromising the work.

What we do

Production cost benchmarking
Governance framework design
Vendor & production house evaluation
Long-form content economics
TVC & branded content audits
Production process restructuring
Slate-level strategy & pipeline review
Greenlight committee design
05 / Practice area

Creative &
Agency Selection

Who it's for

Brands reviewing their agency roster, evaluating new creative or media partners, or restructuring marketing services contracts.

Agency reviews are usually run by the people most invested in the status quo. We're not. We sit on your side of the table and bring 30 years of knowing which agencies deliver, which charge for theatre, and which structures actually align incentives.

No referral fees. No agency partnerships. The only thing we sell is independent judgement.

What we do

Roster diagnosis & restructuring
Independent pitch management
Creative & media agency evaluation
Contract & remuneration structuring
Production partner selection
In-housing vs outsourcing strategy
Performance measurement frameworks
Agency-client relationship reset

Map the right
combination to your mandate.

Most engagements draw from two or three of these practices, not all five. The first conversation is about figuring out which.
