Vishnu Jayakumar
Practice lead
Manufacturing excellence & applied AI. Eighteen years across manufacturing operations and improvement programmes, now leading the applied-AI practice. Full time on this business.
The bench
Seven practitioners. Every one an operator first.
Nobody here learned manufacturing from a case study. The people who diagnose your constraint are the people standing on the line when it is fixed — which is only possible because the bench is deliberately small.

Business development — your first point of contact
Owns the first conversation and the relationship after it, and makes sure the scope we agree is the scope you actually needed. Twelve years in key accounts and business development.
Most of the bench are practising professionals who lead engagements alongside their own roles. That is deliberate: it keeps the advice current, because everyone here is still accountable for a plant somewhere.
How we are set up
A partnership, not a pyramid.
There is no layer of analysts between you and the person who has done the work. Whoever leads your engagement is the person you met, and they carry the outcome — commercially as well as professionally.
- The person who scopes the work is the person who does it
- Engagement leads share directly in what their engagement earns
- We take on what the bench can actually staff, and say so when we cannot
