As Director at Outgrow Consulting, he Hels businesses excel at what they do and hit peak performance. His work integrates deep business insight with practical solutions, ensuring strategies are not just designed but executed effectively.

ITC Maratha, Mumbai
On this beautiful Sunday morning, JungleBerry was awarded "The Prestigious Brands Award" by BARC Asia in the "Personal Care Products" category. This is a huge win considering that we were pitted against the most pre-eminent brands in the space. BARC Asia is a forum of highest repute and an award from them serves as a valuable endorsement and validation for JungleBerry's rising brand prominence.
Their process for selecting the awardees is fairly detailed and intensive, starting with research to finalise a list of 500 brands that are deemed worthy of being considered for an award. These brands are then put through surveys with their customers and channel partners to evaluate the brands’ market perception and awareness. The 200 brands filtered out as the most potent ones are further scrutinised on various parameters like brands’ trust, recall, and growth. The final outcome is the list of top 50 awardee brands agreed upon by a jury panel. There is only one winner in every category.
