About AKORA9
Built by operators who have lived the problem.
AKORA9 is a process improvement and execution consulting practice based in Pune, working with SMEs across India. We started it after watching good decisions die in the handoff between the boardroom and the floor, plans that made sense upstairs but never quite landed downstream.
Why We Exist
Good strategy, lost in the handoff.
So we built the practice around the part most consultants skip: staying past the recommendation, through execution, until the change actually holds.
"We aren't here to hand over another slide deck. We stay until the new process is the one people actually use."
That's the whole model: fewer frameworks, more accountable execution, and a way to catch drift before it costs a quarter.
Operators, not slide-deck consultants.
Both founders spent years inside the functions they now help fix, logistics, supply chain, and finance, not just advising them from the outside.
Pune-native.
Headquartered in Pune, working directly with SMEs across India, close enough to sit on the floor with a client, not just in a review call.
Built for SME budgets.
Engagements sized to a 30-person company, not an enterprise framework forced onto a team that doesn't need it.
Founders & Team
The people building it.
