About SR-KPC

SR-Knowledge & People Consulting was created by Sai Ram Nilgiri based on his knowledge and experience of working with two leading organizations in the area of leadership – Center for Creative Leadership (Greensboro, North Carolina, USA) and INSEAD (leading European business school in France and Singapore). Strongly influenced by both schools, there is a blend of different styles of coaching (one-one and peer group), a psychodynamic approach to leadership development and the power to influence change at an individual and organizational level.

The organization is based in Singapore and works across boundaries. We work with clients in Asia, Europe and USA. Our three areas of specialization are:

  • Change Management
  • Executive Coaching
  • Leadership Development

Knowledge alone is not sufficient to make a difference. The intangible power of leadership creates what the business world calls the differentiation factor from competitors. Someone once likened leadership to pornography – easy to recognize but hard to define. The soul of the organization revolves around the 3i of the founder – collective Individualism, Independence of thought and Internationalism.

Our consultants are a group of like-minded people who have worked across continents and cultures, with post-graduate qualifications, and experience working across industries. We are qualified to administer a range of psychometric instruments and 360 feedback tools. The common drive among us is the challenge of helping people make the change to the mystique of leadership.

Bringing knowledge and people together, we use concepts that have passed academic rigour, state of the art computerized simulations to learn more about change and instruments that increase self-awareness and bring out the potential of our clients. The soul of our work revolves around our mission – Keep Discovering Your Potential!

The logo

People have been intrigued by the character of the logo. It is steeped in meaning. It is the first character of the word “rishi” in Sanskrit which means a sage, a man old in wisdom. In an organisational context, it would be the first word in reward, return, rich, recognition. It also embeds the letters KPC which stand for Knowledege & People Consulting.

Each part of it has a specific connotation:

The red reflects the universality of all beings, similar to what flows in all our veins – no different although we are of different skin colour. In Oriental Asia, red is prosperity and money. On the Indian sub-continent, red is divine.

The logo inspires the work of bringing wisdom to life in people through knowledge, emotional management and deep reflection. We hope you Keep Discovering Your Potential.
