Prabeesh Chambeth
Kerala Enquire

Independent adviser to business owners, Kerala

I fix the problems that stall a business.

A market entry that cannot go wrong. An approval stalled for months. An operation losing money every week. For twenty years I have founded and led companies, and established operations in India for international firms. Owners bring me in when the cost of waiting is too high.

Organisations I have worked with

Where I am brought in

Establishing in India

I persuaded Contracting Plus of Ireland to establish its back office in Kerala, then led the company formation and the transfer of operations from Ireland. Morgan McKinley brought me in to set up its Kerala office. I give international firms a working presence in India without the years of trial and error.

Discuss an expansion into India

Regulation and approvals

Licences, registrations and approvals that have stalled. I establish what is required, who decides and in what order, then bring in the right specialists and close it out.

Operations

Targets that keep slipping, teams without structure, processes that cost more than they return. I have run businesses as chief executive and managing director. I find where the value is leaking and stop it.

Sourcing and supply

Finding, vetting and negotiating with suppliers across India, the Gulf and China. I have sourced hardware in China for a networking company and managed supply across hospitality and travel.

Growth and new markets

Entering a market, launching a business, or rebuilding a sales operation that has stopped delivering. I have grown market share in hospitality and built sales across technology, events and audio-visual.

Access

Often the fastest solution is the right person. Two decades across India and the Gulf have given me a network of operators, advisers and decision-makers, and I make the introduction when it will save months.

Track record

Twenty years founding, leading and establishing businesses across technology, hospitality, travel and consumer products.

How an engagement works

  1. A private conversation

    Tell me what is at stake. A call or a message is enough; there is no brief or deck to prepare.

  2. A clear assessment

    I come back with what is really going on, what it will take, and whether I am the right person to solve it.

  3. Ownership to resolution

    I lead the work personally, bring in the specialists it needs, and stay with it until it is solved.

Private enquiries

I read every enquiry personally, and every conversation is in confidence.
