In an era where businesses are constantly navigating volatility, digital disruption, and capital pressures, few leaders bring the depth, diversity, and global execution capability that Dr. Anchal Andrews, Founder of Skill Maker Consultancy, delivers.
With over two decades of cross-industry excellence spanning banking, automotive leadership, consulting, geopolitics, public policy advocacy, and international advisory, Dr. Andrews has built not just companies — but ecosystems of transformation.
The Three-Dimensional Transformation Model
At the core of Skill Maker Consultancy lies a powerful philosophy: transformation must be holistic.
Dr. Andrews’ framework integrates:
On-Ground Transformation – Operational restructuring, frontline performance optimization, leadership capability enhancement, and measurable execution alignment.
Digital Transformation – CRM integration, automation architecture, strategic digital enablement, and scalable technology implementation.
Capital Transformation – Profit optimization, Joint Ventures, revenue acceleration, and investor-aligned growth strategies.
This integrated approach has positioned her firm as a trusted partner to listed enterprises and futuristic startups across India and the UAE. Established in 2013, the consultancy operates through a proprietorship model backed by high-value B2B partnerships locally and internationally.
