Why SAI Industrial Consultant
Most consultants advise and leave. We build, implement and stay.
As a business and management consultant in Vadodara, we work with MSME manufacturing businesses to build the structures, systems and disciplines that allow them to grow — without every decision depending on the owner.
Most consultants
Advise and Exit
Most consultants diagnose the problem, present a framework, hand over a document, and move on. What happens during implementation is left entirely to you.
- Arrive with a ready-made answer
- Hand over a report
- Leave before it runs
SAI Industrial Consultant
Build, Implement, Stay
We build the framework alongside your team, stay present through implementation, and only exit when your people are running the system independently. The result is change that lasts.
- Arrive with the right questions
- Build the system with your team
- Stay until your people run it
34 Years on the Floor
Every recommendation comes from someone who has personally managed production floors, led teams of 300+, and been accountable for output — not just observed from the outside.
Built for MSME Reality
We do not bring corporate frameworks and resize them. Every system we build is designed for the constraints, culture, and scale of MSME manufacturing businesses.
Independence is the Goal
We measure success by one thing: when we leave, is your team running the system without us? Dependency on a consultant is not a result. Independence is.
Our approach
Two layers. Both matter.
Most consultants stop at the first layer. We stay until both layers are functioning.
Layer 01 · The framework
Hard frameworks
SOPs, KPIs, reports, formats, review meetings, job descriptions, systems. This is what most consultants stop at. It is necessary. It is not sufficient.
Layer 02 · The human layer
We work at the human level
How people speak, think, grow, and connect their daily work to a larger purpose. A system that people understand and believe in runs on its own.
The result
Accountability Visibility
Structured systems make accountability visible, so it enforces itself, not because the owner is watching.
What we do
Business consulting services for manufacturers
Every engagement begins with understanding your business from the inside. Our services are delivered as integrated consulting programmes — not one-time audits or reports that sit on shelves.
Organisational Structure Design
Clear roles, reporting lines and authority, so every person knows their responsibility and their contribution.

How we work
The SAI consulting approach
Frameworks on paper do not change behaviour on the floor. Without someone present to hold accountability and adjust in real time, most consulting interventions fade within months.
Diagnose before prescribing
We arrive with the right questions, not a pre-built solution. We listen to what the business is actually telling us.
Build the framework together
SOPs, KPIs and reporting structures, built with the people who will run them. Ownership transfers from day one.
Stay through implementation
We stay present through execution, adjusting in real time, holding accountability and solving what surfaces on the floor.
Exit when the team runs it
We leave only when your people are running the systems without us. That is the only measure of success we accept.
“We build the framework. We stay until the people inside it are running it themselves.”
The founder
Deepak B. Gondkar
Deepak Gondkar spent 23 years inside Indian manufacturing — assembly operations, automotive systems, precision fabrication, and works management — directly responsible for teams of up to 300 people across some of India’s most demanding production environments.
In 2015 he founded SAI Industrial Consultant in Vadodara, with one conviction: real consulting means staying through implementation.

Who we work with
Any Industry. Any Product. Any MSME Manufacturing Business.
The problems SAI solves are not industry-specific. Owner dependency, unclear accountability, production firefighting, and people who come to work rather than perform — these exist in every manufacturing business, regardless of what it makes.
The Problems Are Universal
Whether you make food products, industrial equipment, precision components, or chemicals — if you run an MSME manufacturing business, the operational challenges are the same. The frameworks that solve them are the same too.
Experience Across Sectors
SAI's 34 years of manufacturing experience spans assembly, precision fabrication, automotive systems, chemical processing, and industrial equipment — giving us the ability to understand any production environment quickly and build within its specific constraints.
One Qualification Only
If you run an MSME manufacturing business and recognise the problems of owner dependency, operational inconsistency, or a team that is not performing to its potential — SAI can work with you.
Where we work
A business consultant in Vadodara, on your shop floor
SAI Industrial Consultant is a business and management consultant based in Vadodara. Our founder’s career was built inside the city’s own manufacturing: from the assembly floor at Shreno Ltd. and Alembic Group, through precision fabrication and works management in Makarpura, to seven years as Head of Operations in Waghodia.
Because we stay through implementation rather than sending a report, being close to your factory matters. Manufacturers in and around Vadodara get regular on-site presence, and we also take engagements with MSME manufacturing businesses across India.

Common questions
Questions MSME owners ask before calling a consultant
What does a business consultant do for a manufacturing company?
For an MSME manufacturer, a business consultant should change how the business runs, not just advise on it. We start with a diagnostic of your operations, then build what the business is missing: clear roles, SOPs, KPIs, production planning and review meetings. We build them with your team and stay until your people run them without us.
Do you only work with businesses in Vadodara?
We are based in Vadodara, so manufacturers in and around the city get regular on-site presence. We also take engagements with MSME manufacturing businesses across India.
How is SAI different from a trainer or a firm that hands over a report?
Training sessions end and reports sit on shelves. We build the framework alongside your team, stay present through implementation, and only exit when your people are running the system independently.
Can you set up SOPs and KPIs for my factory?
Yes. SOP development and KPI & reporting systems are two of our six services, alongside operational assessment, organisational structure design, production & planning systems, and people & performance frameworks. SOPs are written with the operators who will use them and tested on the floor before they are finalised.
Which industries do you work with?
Any MSME manufacturing business. Our experience spans assembly, precision fabrication, automotive systems, chemical processing and industrial equipment. Owner dependency, unclear accountability and production firefighting look the same whatever a factory makes.
How does an engagement start?
With a conversation of one to two hours, with no obligation. If a diagnostic is warranted, we propose an on-site visit of one to three days, and a proposal follows within five working days. Call or WhatsApp Deepak on +91 94298 25487.
