Nitin founded Dharadhar Consultants in 1996, building on his track record of meeting or
exceeding client expectations while executing management and IT consulting

While building Dharadhar Consultants, Nitin has engaged in a wide variety of successful
consulting engagements for clients including India's leading news agency, one of India's largest

the Nhava Sheva Port Trust. This was, at that time, the largest Management Consultancy

and co-ordinated the execution of, from scratch, the world's largest public issue (Unit Trust of

Nitin has worked with several international organisations and helped some of them formulate their
India strategy. In a few cases, he has also assisted with the implementation of this strategy. In
one case, he helped set up an offshore development centre for a US corporation. This software
product development centre helped the corporation bring to market various state-of-the-art
releases of the product on-time and on-budget. In another case, he assisted a business incubator
in an OECD country with its plan to help incubatee organisations access the Indian market.
