Typical work includes India readiness sprints for founders, diaspora activation pilots for agencies, and strategy blocks for multi‑stakeholder corridor initiatives. We’ll scope outcomes first, then agree fees together.

Below are the core ways I work with clients. All advisory is delivered by me, backed by 30+ years across enterprise IT, cross‑border delivery and India - NZ relations.

India Readiness Sprint – from curiosity to a clear decision

This sprint is for founders and leadership teams who are India‑curious but not yet India‑committed. Over two 90‑minute working sessions (typically over 2 weeks), we will:

• map your product, customer and GTM assumptions against India realities
• identify the specific segments and use‑cases (if any) where India makes sense
• surface the regulatory, talent and partnership questions you must answer early

Output: Written summary with a simple outcome: go / no‑go / how‑to‑go, plus the first 2–3 moves if you choose to proceed. Typical clients: B2B SaaS, AI and services businesses in New Zealand or Australia.

Diaspora Activation Sprint – turning intent into pilots

Many strategies and speeches talk about the value of the Indian diaspora; far fewer turn that intent into practical pilots. This sprint is designed for ministries, agencies, councils, industry bodies and ecosystem builders who want to move beyond talk.

In a half‑day workshop plus follow‑up session we will:

• map the Indian tech/digital diaspora and alumni assets already connected to your institution
• identify 2 - 3 concrete pilots (for example: corridor‑themed events, founder exchanges, advisory circles or targeted delegations)

Output: Action memo you can share internally to secure support and resources.

Digital Corridor Strategy Block – designing something that lasts

This is for serious cross‑border plays: multi‑stakeholder corridor initiatives, government programmes, or corporate strategies that span New Zealand, India and the wider Indian tech diaspora. Over 4–6 weeks (light‑touch but focused), we will:

• clarify what you are really trying to achieve and what you will not do
• map the key actors (public, private, diaspora, alumni, platforms) and where they naturally fit
• design a small set of coherent, testable initiatives instead of a long wish‑list

Output: Concise corridor strategy document designed to be read and used, not archived.

How I work

All work is done directly by me, not a junior team.

• I prefer short, sharp engagements that lead to concrete moves rather than indefinite retainers.
• A short exploratory conversation is usually the first step. If there’s a clear way I can help, we then agree scope, format and fees before any substantive work begins.

If you’d like to discuss a potential engagement, the simplest next step is to contact me here and we’ll schedule an initial call.
