Anugyan is a consulting firm driven by Dr Khandelwal. Anu(Atom)- gyan(knowledge) manifests the philosophy of continuous learning for leaders to create ‘Atomic Impact’.

We believe that Change is achieved by igniting ideas and creativity to build insights.

Through our workshops and experience based coaching process, we help leaders develop and maximize their potential to become impact making leaders. Our basic philosophy in practice of leadership is ‘ Tough Love’ ( Effective performance with compassion)

We believe that Leadership is not something that comes through sermons and text-bookish theories but through the process of developing leadership muscle, much similar to building muscles in a gymnasium. Leadership Development requires the rigour and personal discipline much similar to one, pumping iron in a gym. Dr. Khandelwal, the chairman of the company, himself is a living example of evolving as a Leader over a period of time and finally reaching the top as the CEO of two large public sector banks.

His insights into the Leadership process and his hands-on experience in developing Leaders of the future, is now a model, which is talked about in Corporate sector & Management schools. His transformational Leadership is covered in many magazines, journals and books including the Harvard Business Review. He is a multi-awarded leadership coach and is frequently invited as key note speaker in various national and international conferences. He has addressed senior management personnel of over 50 organizations. He speaks at corporates, educational institutes, government bodies and voluntary agencies. Anugyan has led workshops for large multi-national, private and public sector corporations.

Creating a Group of High Impact Leaders (A 75 hour cutting edge Leadership intervention for Sharp organizations)

A diamond looks brilliant when ready but there is an intricate and complex process that involves cutting, sawing, cleaving, bruiting and polishing before it reaches that brilliance. Likewise, potential talent need a rigorous and uncompromising process of learning and growing through meticulous and custom based interventions to eventually flourish into a full blown Leaders! It is widely accepted that Organizations can be ready to face the Volatile, Uncertain, Complex and Ambiguous future only if they have a pipeline of high calibre leaders. But in such environment, it is not enough just to have committed, loyal, efficient, 9 am to 9 pm Leaders but leaders who are much beyond.

We strongly believe that today's leaders need orientation to embrace 'intangibles' (such as building culture, human resources, technology, leadership and governance) which ultimately drive the tangibles. We need leaders who can make real difference - whose focus on Leadership and performance is uncompromising but they demonstrate empathy and compassion too. We believe that modern leaders need to be communication connoisseurs because reaching out to both customers and employees is a winning proposition.
