Engagement 01

As an Advisor

I work with a small number of companies as a strategic advisor. I do not advise to fill a board seat — I advise because I am genuinely invested in the outcome. My approach is direct, practically grounded, and shaped by 18 years of building and operating businesses across finance, marketing, and operations.

Engagements are tailored to where you are — whether you are just getting started or navigating the complexity of a growing business.

Engagement 02

As a Mentor

This is for anyone who is looking for clarity — in life, career, or what comes next. Not a coaching programme. Not a course. Just honest, personal, one-on-one conversation with someone who has navigated enough to help you see your situation more clearly.

My approach is rooted in honesty. I will not tell you what you want to hear. I will help you see what you already know but have not yet acted on.

Who it is for

Anyone seeking clarity in life

Investment

₹5,000 / month

Format

Offline or Online

Month 1

1 personal session every week — building the foundation, understanding where you are, and setting direction.

Months 2–4

1 personal session every two weeks — going deeper, working through decisions, and holding each other accountable.

Month 5 onwards

1 personal session per month — staying on course, reflecting on progress, adjusting as needed.

After 6 months

Sessions as and when needed — you know what you need, and I am there when it matters.

Mentorship is commitment-based and selective. Not suitable for a one-time conversation.

A few words from people who have worked with Ajay — as advisees, mentees, and collaborators.

"Ajay does not give you a roadmap. He gives you a mirror. That is far more valuable when you are trying to build something real."

"Ajay is a patient and deep listener. He is great to soundboard ideas and evaluate them for execution. Was always looking forward for our weekly conversations."
