About

Thirty years on the winning side of the table

Rajiv spent three decades in corporate IT services, most recently as VP and Head of Central Solutions, India at Coforge.

Over 19 years he has led more than 800 pursuit responses and won large pursuits every single year. Along the way he has advised CXOs on cost take-out, M&A and carve-outs, digital transformation and GCC strategy, and stepped in when strategic contracts were in trouble.

He founded AtEdge Consulting to offer that experience in two ways: focused, time-boxed engagements for organisations, and mentoring for professionals building their own consulting edge. He brings change-management discipline (ADKAR), sizing and estimation rigour, and a long record as a trainer and mentor.
