Boutique IT Services Consultancy
Senior delivery for programmes that have to land.
PMO setup, programme recovery, AI-enabled delivery, vendor governance. 14 years of enterprise programmes across Healthcare, Oil & Energy, Fintech, and Telecom — packaged into fixed-fee engagements with outcomes in writing.
Services
Four engagement shapes. Pick the one that fits.
Most engagements run as 6-week to 6-month fixed-fee outcomes. We don't sell hours — we sell the artefact, the system, or the recovered programme.
PMO as a Service
Drop-in programme management office for organisations who need governance now and don't want to build the role internally yet.
Fractional PMO Director
2-to-4-day-a-week PMO director presence for scale-ups and growth-stage firms who need senior judgement on programme governance but don't yet need a full-time hire.
Programme Recovery
Rapid triage and recovery plan for programmes that are red on the scorecard but not yet dead. 2-week diagnostic + 6-week recovery sprint.
AI-Enabled PMO
Embed LLMs and small AI/ML tooling into requirements, RAID, status reporting, and vendor analysis — measured by hours saved per week, not by hype.
Selected work
Programmes that survived contact with reality.
Anonymised at the client level. Full case studies available under NDA on request.

From the people who hired us
What we hear back.
Varun is a dependable and forward-thinking Business Analyst, with strong domain expertise in real estate and physical security and a genuine curiosity around emerging technologies — particularly how AI could be applied to enhance analysis, decision-making, and delivery efficiency. He'd be a valuable asset to any team seeking quality execution and continuous learning.
The vendor governance discipline Varun brought to our physical-security portfolio caught two vendor drift situations in week 2 that would normally have surfaced at month 4. Conservative estimate: saved us $1.2M in re-work alone.
We brought Varun in as a fractional PMO director when our portfolio scaled past our internal capacity. The weekly portfolio reviews flagged risks our PMs hadn't yet seen, and the monthly exec narrative replaced what used to be 4 different decks pulled together at the last minute. Clean operating cadence within 6 weeks.
How we engage
Three doors. Pick the one that fits your situation.
