STRATEGY ORGANISATION GOVERNANCE

KarkiAssociates is a research and advisory boutique, specialising in strategy, organisation and governance.


It was founded by Dr. Rajnish Karki in October 1995, when he pioneered the boutique-mode of strategy consulting in India. The advisory engagements with over three-dozen medium and large organisations, position KarkiAssociates as about the most experienced in the Indian context.

The consulting practice originated from Dr. Karki’s dissertation, and remains rooted in research. This came together in perhaps the first world-class book on the strategic management of Indian companies, “Competing with the
Best”. The ongoing work at the cutting edge, for instance the breakthrough construct “strategic configuration”, underpin the engagements with select clients.

The boutique is wholly focused on the considerations and initiatives at the strategic level. It's intent is to make quantum improvements, by framing the right questions, bringing to bear the best of expertise and rigour, and making the requisite initiatives happen. The distinctiveness lies in seeing the strategic situation as a whole, as configuration of business, organisation and leadership components, and in finding and harnessing the linkages amongst strategy, organisation design and policy.

KarkiAssociates has carried out quantum initiatives in a diverse array of sectors, for clients such as - Mahindras, Bose Corporation, Lal Pathlabs, Dr. Reddy's, JK Group, Repro, B&W Megtec, Great Eastern Shipping, Aptech, BP-Castrol, Pantaloon/Future Group, Haribhakti, Paras/Reckitt Benckiser, Batiliboi, Jindals, ACC, Larsen & Toubro, Indian Merchants' Chamber, Institute of Rural Management Anand (IRMA), Foundation for MSME Clusters; and, for the Government of India and Uttarakhand. The advisory track-record is in many ways superior to the best of strategy consulting firms.

Moreover, KarkiAssociates brings together the resources of a panel of senior domain experts and alliance partner alliance
