Strategic Advisory for Founders

Your business is growing.
The operations haven't kept up.

I work with founders and business owners who need more than advice. They need someone senior who will get into the business, find what is breaking, and fix it. Twenty-five years of experience across investment banking, fintech and M&A, deployed directly into your business.

Clarity

Most founders know something is wrong. Few can name it precisely. I find it fast.

Control

The right systems, built once, that give you your time and your margin back.

Momentum

Not a plan that sits in a folder. Forward motion that compounds, week after week.

About Rohit

Senior operating experience, without the full-time cost.

I am Rohit Nanda, Strategic Advisor. I have spent 25 years working inside and alongside businesses at every stage: from scaling fintech startups to senior roles at Nomura, UBS and GE Capital, to M&A advisory and co-founding Asset Match.

I hold an MBA from Bayes Business School and certifications in Predictive Index, Innermetrix profiling and reflective mentoring practice. I have sat on both sides of the table: as advisor and as founder.

Palgrave Consulting exists for founders who have reached the point where effort alone is not enough. What they need is a clearer operating model, sharper priorities, and a partner who will hold them to the work that actually moves the business forward.

Who I Work With

A small number of founders, at a time.

I work with founders and business owners typically running businesses between £500k and £5m in revenue. They are growing, but the operations have not kept pace. Often they are preparing for investment, heading toward exit, or simply tired of the business depending entirely on them.

If that is where you are, we should talk.

There are business coaches, and then there are the people who quietly help you rebuild your spine. Rohit has been that for me. If you want someone who will not just grow your business, but help you grow into the version of yourself capable of leading it properly, Rohit is that person.

Rohit's role in my business journey has been absolutely invaluable. As a business owner, it's often easy to get lost in the whirlwind of ideas and challenges. That's where Rohit steps in, guiding me in translating concepts into reality. His steady presence has provided me with a sense of accountability and direction, ensuring I stay on track and focused on my goals. What sets him apart is his genuine dedication to my success.
