About Us
Striking Minds Consulting Pvt. Ltd. helps CEOs and founders of growing SMEs and mid-size businesses turn sustainable growth strategies into faster, measurable business outcomes. We work with organisations that want both sharp thinking and disciplined execution, so their investment in change shows up in profit, ROI, market share and stronger operational performance.
We are built for leaders who are ready to move beyond “how we’ve always done it” towards a more structured, transparent and performance-driven way of running the business.
Led by Practitioners
Jayanta Poddar brings 30+ years of leadership experience across Indian conglomerates and Fortune 500 companies to Striking Minds Consulting Pvt. Ltd.
He has led complex strategy execution, business transformation, scaling and cost-leadership programmes for founder-led businesses, mid-market organizations, professionally managed corporations, and startups that have gone on to become unicorns.
This blend of corporate and entrepreneurial experience shapes Striking Minds' approach: sharp, structured thinking combined with a deep understanding of how real organizations work, decide and execute. Jayanta is comfortable moving from boardroom strategy discussions to ground-level diagnostics in sales, marketing, procurement, supply chain and operations – always with a clear line of sight to revenue, profit, cash and sustainable growth.
His hands-on background shapes Striking Minds' practical approach:
- Deep diagnostics: Uncovering profit leakage, cost-to-serve gaps and margin erosion in sales, procurement and supply chain.
- Strategy execution: Turning high-level recommendations into owned, measurable initiatives.
- Cost & performance: Leading cost reduction, working-capital optimisation and ROI-focused programs.
- Growth & integration: Supporting M&A integration, business expansion and professionalization of family-run enterprises.
- Capability‑building – we work through your people so that, once the engagement ends, your teams are better equipped to diagnose, decide and deliver.
Jayanta's experience working with both large corporates and growing businesses including startups gives Striking Minds a unique perspective: we understand the realities of scaling while maintaining control, discipline and profitability.
Our consulting is direct, structured and execution-focused – designed to deliver the profit improvement, cash efficiency and sustainable growth that CEOs and founders actually need.
How we are different
Many consulting projects stop at recommendations. Our work is designed to carry through to results.
- We connect strategy, organization and execution instead of treating them as separate boxes.
- We are comfortable working with existing strategies and big‑firm reports, but our mandate is to help you make them real – or help you reshape them if they are not implementable.
- We focus on tangible outcomes: profit improvement, cost reduction, better ROI on initiatives, healthier revenue mix, shorter cash‑to‑cash cycles, stronger resilience in the face of disruption.
- We deliberately keep our own team lean and embed work inside your leadership and frontline teams, so the value remains with you.
Let’s talk
