Testimonials

I have worked closely with both Elkana and Jishnu when I was Managing Director at J&J Consumer India. Both of them had a solid grasp of the business, focused on building a deep understanding of the consumer and master-minded some innovative and memorable campaigns that changed the long-term trajectory of the business. I am happy to know that they are now pursuing independent consulting projects and would strongly endorse them to prospective clients. I feel certain that they will recreate the magic of their J&J days.

I have known Elkana for more than 25 years, having first met him when he was a young Product Executive at Parle Products. Elkana has always been highly strategic, insightful and down to earth. He is a strong believer in the use of consumer research in business decision making and has championed this data-based approach in all his assignments. I have a lot of respect for his professional skills and also find him easy to work with. His clients would definitely benefit from his vast experience.

I had the opportunity to work with Jishnu and Elkie for our insights learning intervention for our global marketing team. Jishnu and Elkie bring with them deep marketing and coaching expertise, multiple industry experience and creativity in designing and executing marketing training programs. Their program was received very well by participants across different countries. We also saw a significant improvement in the quality of the insights process after their intervention. We continue to partner with them in our journey towards marketing excellence.

It’s been a pleasure to work with and for Jishnu in the past. He has been a great professional and I was always impressed by his approach to some of our difficult situations, when he always put people first. His ability to foresee teams’ needs has led to a best performance of his teams. Jishnu had a great perspective on our consumers’ needs and I’ve been impressed by the unique perspective he brings to every brand/ consumer problem. I can never forget that he always told me “your job is to make yourself redundant “ that has taught me a great way to manage people.

Elkana and Jishnu were both top performers on my team at J&J when I was VP Marketing there. Their strong strategic thinking, data-based approach, consumer understanding and overall business orientation led to many successful marketing campaigns and initiatives that drove accelerated growth. I’m sure any client would be lucky to have them on the team.
