Question 1

What does a business consultant do for an SME?

Accepted Answer

A business consultant for SMEs diagnoses the gaps in sales, HR, operations and strategy, then installs systems that make the business grow predictably — without depending on the founder for every decision. At EI Consulting we don't just advise; we build the operating system and stay through implementation.

Question 2

What is the Revenue Operating System?

Accepted Answer

The Revenue Operating System is EI Consulting's five-layer framework — Diagnosis, System Design, Team Map, 90-Day Action Plan, and Review Cadence. It replaces people-dependency with structured processes and named accountability for every function, so the business runs on a system instead of on a few key people.

Question 3

How is EI Consulting different from other business consultants?

Accepted Answer

Most consultants hand over a report and leave. EI Consulting embeds with your team — designing the system, assigning it to named individuals, and staying through implementation until the numbers move. We cover Sales, HR, Operations and Management under one roof, so you get one aligned plan instead of four advisors pulling in different directions.

Question 4

How quickly will I see results?

Accepted Answer

Most clients see structural change within the first 30 days and measurable revenue or operational impact within 90 days — a founder leaving on time, a shorter collection cycle, or a second revenue channel opening. The first 30 days focus on diagnosis and system design; days 30–90 focus on implementation, training and accountability.

Question 5

Which industries does EI Consulting work with?

Accepted Answer

We have worked across food and spice manufacturing, ERP and IT software, real estate, solar energy, liquid-rubber manufacturing, industrial equipment, analytical labs and services. Our frameworks are industry-agnostic, but every recommendation is built for your specific context.

Question 6

Do you only work with businesses in Ahmedabad?

Accepted Answer

EI Consulting is based in Ahmedabad, Gujarat and works closely with SMEs across Gujarat, with select engagements pan-India — including clients in Mumbai and beyond. Diagnosis and review cadences run both on-site and remotely.

Question 7

How does pricing and engagement work?

Accepted Answer

Engagements are retainer-based and scoped to your business after a complimentary Strategic Advisory Session — there are no one-size packages. You get a clear plan, named owners, and an agreed review cadence so you always know what you're paying for and what it should produce.

Question 8

Who is Dhruvin Soni?

Accepted Answer

Dhruvin Soni is the founder of EI Consulting. With 18+ years of experience across India, Australia and the USA — spanning real estate, energy, pharma, IT, manufacturing and services — he created the Revenue Operating System to give Indian SME founders the systems large corporations take for granted.

Question 9

How do I get started?

Accepted Answer

Book a complimentary 30-minute Strategic Advisory Session with our Director of Strategy. Come with one real bottleneck and you'll leave with clarity on it — whether or not you work with us. You can book through the form on this page, the assistant in the corner, or by emailing md@eiconsulting.in.
