Testimonials

Hear what our happy clients have to say!

“Working with Profound Consulting helped us change our outlook towards our business. We
were struggling at a profitability of 2 to 3% for years. I knew Mr. Imran Shaikh the Founder
for many years during his corporate tenure and the transformation he had achieved in those
days. We decided to avail his services and that has been a true game changer. Our profitability
has grown in double figures with substantial increase in cash flow. We seldom use our bank
credits. Productivity has tripled without adding resources and we have augmented a capacity
of 35% without any investment. A true game-changer!”

“If you want to simplify complexity and drive real financial improvement, talk to Imran
Shaikh, Founder-Profound Consulting. Their TOC expertise helped us streamline operations,
reduce inventory, and dramatically improve our cash flow. Highly recommended!”

Managing Director

“We faced persistent bottlenecks that hampered our output and delivery schedules. Working
with Imran Shaikh and his scientific business management approach was transformative.
They didn’t just offer advice; they helped us pinpoint and aggressively manage our true
operational constraint. The impact has been remarkable: a significant increase in
throughput, drastically reduced lead times, and a much smoother, more predictable
production flow. Our operational efficiency has soared. I highly recommend them to any
business leader serious about results.”

Managing Director

“We were drowning in complex projects that were always late, Mr. Imran Shaikh, Founder-
Profound Consulting introduced us to Critical Chain Project Management based on TOC.
Now, our project completion rates are up over 90%, and team stress is way down. Incredible
focus.”

Chairman & MD
Mid Sized equipment manufacturing company

“Expanding our market reach was a key strategic priority, but our existing distribution
network was holding us back. Profound Consulting brought a fresh, strategic perspective.
Their comprehensive revamp of our distribution business – from manufacturing build to
channel strategy to logistics optimization – was instrumental. The results speak for
themselves: a significant, measurable increase in our market share, improved product
availability for our customers, and a much stronger competitive footing. Their team
understood our industry and delivered tangible outcomes. I highly recommend Profound
Consulting for any business looking to transform their manufacturing operations &
distribution and capture greater market presence.”

Chairman

“Our decision to get associated with Profound Consulting has paid rich dividends. Apart from streamlining our factory operations, we now have a fully aligned and synchronised distribution channel operating all India on Pull mode and we have gained significant market share in the west, north and south regions. Our revenue, profits and cash flow have outpaced all our previous records. Improvement in deliveries and lead time have given us an edge over competition, resulting in increase in share of business with OEMs.”

Chairman

“There has been a dramatic change in the way we run our business now. We use to be a traditionally run company with our own set of challenges on managing the business. Imran Shaikh, Founder of Profound Consulting has bought in a total different and a scientific approach to the way we run our business now. We are experiencing radical growth in Sales and Profit. Our working capital situation is no longer a problem for us which used to be legacy issue. We have transformed into a structured and methodological company now with world class production and Quality systems. Our exports have tripled.”
