About the Company

Today, enterprises have realized that the customers now want features quickly and the company which is faster to market has a better chance of higher market share and repeat business as compared to others. Further an agile enterprise is a nimble enterprise being able to quickly align itself with changing market conditions. The traditional waterfall methods do not work, being process heavy and time consuming before the consumer can get any consumption ready feature. Agile helps specifically, addressing this issue by having time boxed iterations with consumable feature delivery at the end of the iteration. Cashing on this opportunity Niladri Choudhuri and Sharmila Choudhuri together established Xellentro, a specialist organization that works with its clients to identify improvement areas and uses experienced consultants to enhance their business and development processes.

Xellentro is an emerging global provider of project, program and portfolio management consulting and training services. Established in 2012, with Headquarters in Bangalore, India, Xellentro works closely with its clients in tackling their most difficult organizational development challenges.

Differentiating Factors

While the realm of Management Consulting is vast and a number of firms providing a range of advisory services – starting from niche areas to general management domains – what differentiates Xellentro is its practitioner’s approach where the firm does not limit itself only to advisory and rather prefers to stay on till envisaged benefits are realized and final outcomes are delivered. Xellentro brings in huge experience across industry verticals and geographies which make it confident enough to put their necks into the stake when it comes to achieving envisaged benefits and values.

The founders and the skilled team of Xellentro believe in quality. They believe that a trainer should be able to answer all questions and share his/her knowledge which is not in the books. If this knowledge cannot be shared then students can just read books. All the expert trainers at Xellentro are hands-on highly experienced and are not just academicians, but are also practitioners.
