Financial Advisory

In today’s world, organizations have the need to constantly grow their business and grow it profitably. Multiple strategies are at play, in parallel, to achieve this common goal for the larger benefit of the business and its stakeholders. Capital, which is mostly scarce, must be invested for growth or repaid to the shareholders as dividends – Hence agile and informed decision making on where, how, and when to invest becomes crucial. At tranquil we provide end-to-end support to our clients, not only in their organic and inorganic growth initiatives but also helping them deliver their existing business profitably.

Growth Strategy

In today’s intensely competitive business world, organizations must have a razor-sharp focus on growth or else run the risk of losing relevance. Growth strategy, which can be applied to different domains, plays a crucial role for businesses and can be complex at times. Fortifying operations and building efficiencies to fuel organic growth are just as crucial as having a flair for plucking potential acquisition targets to turbo-charge the growth trajectory.

​Our consultants can also help identify new growth markets for your business and support development and execution of strategies that are research-driven and outcome-oriented.

Business Strategy

Knowing where to put the next step is key to a successful journey. Organizations, many a time, get engrossed in their operational juggernaut and have little time to focus on developing their strategic thought. A periodic strategic assessment (typically long-term strategy planning) is a must to ensure that your organization’s trajectory is aligned to the larger business vision and objectives. Further, gaining the right industry insights, along with gauging the market competition is becoming critical, due to the constantly evolving business environment, changing industry dynamics and, growing complexities in business models.

Our in-depth assessment of your internal capabilities along with the external environment coupled with your value proposition for individual markets are the catalysts that help create the right strategy for your business.

Economics Consulting

In this world of ‘glocalization’, firms need to think global and act local, by operating within the territorial and regulatory boundaries of specific countries and regions. And in doing so, they encounter a set of variables governed by macro-economic and micro-economic factors, that have a significant impact on business continuity and risk management. Having a fair knowledge of such global factors helps organizations make informed decisions and devise their risk mitigation plans.

Our team of experts is adept at identifying all possible approaches to assess a country or a market. We dig out the underlying economic strengths, systemic issues, and inherent barriers to help you shape up your overall operational and growth strategy

Environmental Consulting

In the last decade, there has been growing awareness about the impact of business activities on our environment, and stringent regulations have resulted in an increase in sustainable reporting. Companies with strong ethical values and governance structures have shown a willingness in sustainable reporting to track natural resources consumption. As part of regulatory adherence, companies are often expected to report their non-renewal resource consumption, however, the challenges persist around:

• What needs to be reported?

• How is it to be reported?

• What is to be done with the reporting?

At ConsultGenics, our Environmental Consultants help companies answer all the above questions by setting up a reporting process and generating meaningful insights. Though the industry frameworks for sustainability reporting are still evolving, we tailor our approach basis the client’s industry and our experience to define business relevant parameters and data structure. Our Consultants establish reporting processes, manage data, and generate reports to be published as part of the annual reports and sustainable reporting.

Acquisitions & Divestments

Majority of the acquisitions fail to create long-term shareholder wealth. However, transactions worth billions of dollars materialize every year – why? Acquisitions can be broadly categorized as tonnage or bolt-on. The risk of failure is high in the former, as these acquisitions are aimed at improving the top line and are generally accomplished without giving due consideration such to critical factors like access to new technology or market, integration, and synergies with the existing business.

Financial Planning & Analysis

The ever-changing dynamics of the global corporate playfield necessitates a robust financial planning and cash flow management backbone. Having a farsighted financial plan with linkages between annual budgets and the strategic business plan is no less crucial than having long-term strategic business plan itself.

Our Financial Advisory consultants can help create a well-structured Financial Planning & Analysis (FP&A) framework that can typically act as the financial nucleus for your organization, keeping its movement and momentum in harmony —both financially and operationally. Our experts will work in sync with your teams to create multi-year financial models and annual target-setting processes so that you can assume complete control of your financial management function. We ensure models are flexible and generate insights on areas of variance from the plans.

Bid & Commercial Modelling

One of the most critical decisions for firms is to decide between “Go” and “No Go” for an RFI or RFP. The consequences of getting this decision wrong can be dire and long-lasting for firms. Submitting a winning bid requires deep experience and understanding of the requirement, market dynamics, and competition.

We, at tranquil consultancy, offer end-to-end bid support to help clients steer through the process smoothly. We focus on developing competitive pricing models with various combinations of scenarios and sensitivities that are required to write winning tenders. Our consultants have sufficient grasp of the financial tools and techniques available to increase your win rates. Our team also stresses on governance and compliance (both internal and external) to help clients in improved and well-informed decision making.

Investment Banks publish regular industry and company updates in addition to earnings review reports and investment event coverage reports. The reports are a result of deep domain expertise and an understanding of financial market dynamics.

Process Transformation

The word ‘Transformation’ is often overused in today’s business world and can be interpreted in myriad ways by different corporates. Transformation helps address changing expectations and requirements of end customers, employees, management, and investors, essentially arising from unprecedented disruption and market turbulence. The purview of transformation has expanded from mere process transformation to business transformation, by unlocking value through a blend of processes, people, delivery, and technology and devising future operating state of the business

Data Analytics

Data is the new Oil – a statement that echoes across global corporate corridors. The copious amounts of data being generated today will only be useful if it can generate insights that are both actionable and practical for the organizations. As more advanced technologies such as cloud computing, IoT, and AI augment the reach of traditional software, the dawning digital age is witnessing an exponential proliferation of companies’ data footprints. And the real challenge is to harness all this data and channelize it to accelerate organizational growth.

Target Operating Model Design and Implementation

The idea of designing a futuristic TOM is to put businesses on a different pedestal, thereby unlocking its full value. However, understanding the rationale of the existing Operating Model and deploying a transformational industry framework tailored to the client’s requirements driving ‘Best-for-fit’ models is the priority.

Our TOM design incorporates the future growth plans of these businesses including how end customers are served and internal processes are managed and echoes corporate strategic objectives. The management is served with a holistic view of the future state that is easy to visualize and measure through business case(s). We partner with the client throughout the journey and steer them through ‘as-is’ to ‘to-be’ state, thereby delivering committed benefits.

We also manage the process of identifying and evaluating the right technology, and the business process outsourcing partner that can deliver committed productive and financial benefits.

Process Optimization

Process optimization is the means and not the end. Companies struggle to keep changing or transforming processes with evolving market conditions, as their growth is typically driven by the top-line (like entering new markets, or acquisitions, etc.), and there is little focus on altering redundant existing processes. Few legacy processes might not require complete overhaul – but can be fixed through improvement or change management. Our experts try to find a quick solution wherever possible to drive transformation programmes effectively.

• Developing ‘Best-for-Fit’ processes from the perspectives of consistency and consolidation to drive smooth adoption and efficiency

• Ensuring process flows are comprehendible, thereby facilitating effective implementation

Programme Management/ PMO

Programme or Project Management is the guiding light for any project. Transformation programmes fail due to wrong communication strategy and lack of cultural acceptance.
We work closely with the management in formulating and executing a clear communication strategy that drives cultural acceptance of such programmes. We run programmes in line with the client’s goals to ensure they cascade to all team members and relevant stakeholders. Our Project Managers ensure that the Governance structure are adhered to and validated, while expectations and deliverables are clearly defined and communicated at each level. Our team’s knowledge on various PMO tools gives clarity and generates the right insights.

• Simultaneously driving multiple operational and financial process streams for transformation

• Tracking project performance in line with the initial plan, including budgets allocations

• Driving projects and programmes to meet their desired goals and reach a logical conclusion

Descriptive, Predictive and Prescriptive Analytics

Organizational data is nothing less than a veritable goldmine for businesses scrambling to get a larger share of the pie. And be it the need to identify patterns of buying preferences of end customers, or help create planned predictive maintenance plans for clients’ facilities and assets, we leverage the entire range of analytics methods from descriptive to prescriptive, customized entirely to the business issue at hand.

Reporting and Visualization

Effective reporting is necessitated by a multitude of reasons, including:

• Multiple reports created in silos, which lack linkages and continuity.

• Too many reports, often capturing overlapping data.

The need for visualization stems from the requirement to provide an easy way to see and understand trends, outliers, and patterns in data.

We take care of the end-to-end reporting needs of our clients – whether financial or non-financial. Our offerings help clear the haze and establish clear reporting structures.

• Coordinating with client’s teams, performing analysis, and building reports customized for the end audience

• Designing and building tailored analysis basis business dynamics, generating insights for the management and business heads

• Developing optimization programmes to drive rationalization and consolidation of quality output

• Leveraging standard industry tools and solutions to automate and manage reports

• Designing customized dashboards for real-time reporting across multiple scenarios

• Generating real-time insights on client systems to save time in building dashboards

Data Extraction and Modelling

Garbage in is Garbage Out – We understand this very well and hence prefer to begin at the most granular of levels. We believe early cleaning, standardization, and calibration of data (or sources) can obviate several structural issues that tend to creep up later in the analysis. Many companies treat this as low-end service, however, we believe in correcting the source or input data for our clients to smoothen the further processing.

• Performing data sanity checks and triangulation from your systems to identify and fix gaps

• Using statistical tools to draw out tailored and meaningful analysis from collected data

We apply a blend of industry wide used forecasting models to present multiple scenarios, and test hypothesis. Our consultants use models that are fit to use basis your requirements.
