“We have experienced and benefitted from the well-structured Wadhwani Advantage program. We were facing challenges related to stagnating revenue, profitability, and increasing overhead costs. The Discovery phase of the program gave us insights which helped us identify bottlenecks. And now, the Transformation implementation phase is helping us address the issues. I recommend all growth-oriented SMEs to be a part of Wadhwani Advantage and serve the nation by creating more employment opportunities.”

Praviin Biche, Managing Director
Orbittal Electromech Engineering Projects Pvt. Ltd

“The Wadhwani Advantage program is doing such a great job by supporting SMEs like us. I am amazed with the kind of effort being put in. It has added tremendous value to me and my business. Recommendations and insights provided are very useful and I have passed them to my team for implementation”

“Under the Wadhwani Advantage program, we got access to specialist business consultants who advised us on how to improve our processes and provided us with knowledge resources which proved to be helpful in our business”

“If Wadhwani Advantage was not there, we would not have ‘Accelerated’. It would have taken us 3-years instead of 3-months to make the changes ”

FAQs

What is the cost of this program?
The Wadhwani Foundation charges no fee for the program. However, we only select a few SMEs interested in growing their business rapidly and willing to spend time for this program.
Why is the Wadhwani foundation doing this for free?

Wadhwani Foundation is a not-for-profit with the primary mission of accelerating economic development by driving job creation through large-scale initiatives in entrepreneurship, small business growth, innovation, and skilling. Founded in 2000 by Silicon Valley entrepreneur Dr. Romesh Wadhwani, the Foundation is scaling impact in 20 countries across Asia, Africa, Latin America, and the US.
Advantage program empowers thousands of small and medium-sized businesses with capabilities to maximize their growth potential.
We believe that business growth for SMEs will result in more jobs creation and thus help us fulfill foundation goals.
Since job creation is our focus, we focus on growth-related improvements for businesses.

How much time will I have to dedicate to the program?

Endeavoring to accelerate business growth is not easy, and it will require a lot of commitment from SME entrepreneurs.
As part of our self-service Advantage platform, you will go through a continuous cycle of Assessment -> Empowerment -> Improvement in various functions of your business.
Assessment will involve gathering data about your business and answering many multiple-choice questions. Typical time spent in each assessment will be less than 30 minutes. However, you may have to spend significant time gathering the data needed for the assessment.
Empowerment is about making you aware via training, coaching, and mentoring on a specific topic where assessment shows you need to improve. Again, this will require significant commitment and time on your and your team’s side.
Improvement focus is on helping you create a plan of action. It includes empowerment in specific areas, creating measurable goals, doing self-improvement initiatives, or working with an external consultant to help you in a specific area.
This cycle of assessment, empowerment, and improvement has to continue in different smaller or larger functions of your business.
Unless you are willing to focus on your business growth and spend significant time on this program, this program is not for you.

Will I have to pay consultants/mentors?

All services provided directly by the Foundation are free.
Few partners (consultants/mentors) provide their services on a pro-bono basis.
However, many partners who may help you during the improvement phase may charge for their services. We provide a curated list of partners for a specific improvement initiative. But it is entirely up to you to choose the partner you want to work with, or if you feel comfortable, you can go on the path of self-improvement.
Foundation does not charge or is involved in any commissions from these partners. They are purely curated based on their credentials and feedback from other SMEs.

How is my data that I share for assessments or progress secure and kept confidential?

We take privacy and security of data very seriously, and the data is not shared with anyone.
You may decide to share data with specific external partners during the empowerment / improvement stages.
Nothing will be shared externally without your permission.
We do not sell your data to anyone.
