The idea of penning this blog came to my mind, when I
decided to take stock of my short but eventful stay in consulting. At the start
of my consulting career, I got to interact with a few US based partners or
principals (as they call them over there) and it gave me some insights about
how consulting works in the US. My further interactions with Indian clients and
colleagues tells me that India is different from its foreign
counterparts. In this post, I will focus on five major challenges that consultants
usually face in India. Before igniting the discussion, I must say that the list is not exhaustive and the challenges may differ based on the consulting firm one is associated with.
