Fractional COO • Execution Advisor

Your business is growing.
But it feels harder every quarter.

I work directly with founders of ₹5Cr+ businesses to fix what’s breaking before it breaks you.

Not strategy decks. Not generic frameworks. Actual execution inside your business — as your Fractional COO.

The pattern I see in every ₹5Cr+ business that’s stuck

This is not a growth problem. It’s an execution problem disguised as one.

More input into a broken system doesn’t fix it. It breaks it faster.

20 years building and fixing businesses

I started as a .NET developer. I’ve worked inside IBM, Syncfusion, and The Advisory Board Company (now Optum). I built India’s first map-based hyperlocal marketplace. I’ve built products that got acquired. I’ve run my own company through two years of losses and brought it back to profitability without a single rupee of external funding.

That’s not a perfect story. It’s a useful one.

The SivaStyle™ execution sequence

Every engagement follows the same order. The order matters more than the individual steps.

Clarity Revenue fix Financial control Operations Team Execution sprint
1

Free 30-minute diagnosis call

I ask three questions. You tell me what’s breaking. I tell you what I see. No pitch. No obligation. No slides.

2

1 Rupee Roadmap session

Like the Union Budget rupee chart — but for your business. Every paisa of your revenue accounted for. The execution gap becomes visible immediately.

3

90-day Execution Sprint

Fix the right thing in the right order. I work inside your business — not as a consultant who sends slides, but as a Fractional COO who makes decisions with you.

4

Monthly retainer (optional)

After the Sprint, if the work is good — and it will be — we continue. Month to month. No long contracts. No lock-ins.

What I work on

Every engagement is different. These are the six areas where I consistently find the execution gap.

📊

Revenue & growth clarity

Identify where revenue is leaking, which services are actually profitable, and what the right growth sequence is.

⚙️

Execution systems

Install cadence, dashboards, and operating rhythm so execution becomes repeatable — not founder-dependent.

🎯

Financial control

Cash flow visibility, cost structure audit, debt management, and the 1 Rupee Roadmap to show exactly where every paisa goes.

💡

Technology & product advisory

20+ years building tech products. I diagnose whether your tech is enabling or blocking your growth — and fix it.

🧭

Team & org structure

Role clarity, hiring sequencing, accountability systems. The founder should not be the bottleneck for every decision.

🏆

Market leadership strategy

I’ve built products that became market leaders and been acquired. I know what separates a ₹5Cr business from a ₹50Cr one.

The 1 Rupee Roadmap™

Every February, every Indian understands the Union Budget through one visual — where every rupee comes from and where it goes. Your business deserves the same clarity.

Where did every paisa of your revenue go last year?

What the work looks like in practice

Every engagement starts with a detailed financial and operational diagnosis. Here’s the kind of analysis I bring to a first conversation — before you’ve paid a single rupee.

Healthcare • ₹6Cr revenue • Chennai
Before the first meeting I had already identified: a current ratio collapse from 1.4 to 0.2, interest burden doubling to ₹20.9L, short-term borrowings spiking to ₹97.7L, and a TPA empanelment gap that was leaving predictable revenue on the table. The founder read through the diagnosis in the first week. We hadn’t even met yet — but he already knew I had done the homework.
Product acquisition • VoIP sector
Built a product from scratch when nobody else could understand the requirement — including a senior VP from Apple who was a co-founder of the startup. That product was later acquired by a larger company. Understanding complex, ambiguous requirements and executing on them fast is not something you can learn from a course.
Healthcare analytics • The Advisory Board Company (now Optum)
Part of the core team that built Market Advantage — a product that helped hospitals become market leaders through referral data intelligence. That product is now inside Optum, one of the largest healthcare companies in the world.
