The Monk Mantra

The Monk story begins in early 2010, when Girish moved out of his MENASA(Middle East North Africa South Asia) assignment and subsequently APAC role.. His mind was thronged with thoughts of starting a self-funded firm, and eventually Monk Consulting came to existence in mid-2011. Since then, the organization has emerged as one of the credible brand by on-boarding right people & right skills, focusing on becoming a Unbiased Advisor for CXO’s working with large enterprises. They could do this by being flexible in its delivery model, without a mere deviation from its pre-plans.

Today, atop working with best names in the industry, the company is managing relevant acquisitions as well. “To win a competitive edge, you have to be two steps ahead of what your customers are thinking, on a regular basis,” adds Girish. Through regularly synchronizing its workforce with the latest tech-exposures, the organization has carved a plinth for itself. Sensing the allure of South-East Asian countries towards Indian companies, Monk is now planning to explore territories such as Singapore, Hong Kong and Bangkok big-time in near future.
