In 2004, when Rajesh Iyenger was working with NDTV, he noticed a lot of churn across Industries and many of his friends who used to run companies were in a constant lookout for Business Process Re-Structuring (BPR). Perhaps, they were in crisis and every time they consulted an expert, there was no clear road map as such or proper guidance. Slowly noticing this behavior in the industry, Rajesh got into an informal mode and started interacting with various board members, across industries and over a period of time he finally decided to start a Business Consulting firm that involved much broader spectrum in helping organization throughout their entire business operations.

So, in June 2004 quitting his job, he shaped a Business Consulting firm called ‘Rennar and Frais’(R&F) based in Pune, and was supported by his colleagues, who also happened to share similar vision as they ventured into the consulting space. Rajesh Iyengar who’s the Managing Director at Rennar and Frais, has a dynamic personality and comes from a Management background and has experience across various Industries and verticals and also prior working at NDTV, he has worked for organizations like; Unilever, Pepsi in a senior management levels.

Elaborating on the challenges faced during the establishment of the company Rajesh speaks, “Initially we had lot of competition from the overseas players. Fortunately, we had a good network with us, leveraging which, we were able to compete with them, working and collaborating with 3600 consultants, industry specialists and domain experts. Gradually, escalating, we gave our clients the cost advantage as well and most of the clients who used to approach us during the time of crisis were expecting immediate results, and as we were lean and flabless in our approach, at the same time maintaining top-of-the-line quality and service standards, we were able to add it to our advantage.”
