Client Testimonials

	“When we wanted to get a deeper understanding of the results of our employee perception survey we looked for someone who could inspire trust in employees to express their opinion openly, who could bring out meaningful conclusions from employee comments and provide us clear recommendations, all the while bringing us the true news from the ground. totus has done all this beautifully on the last two occasions we have worked with them. It’s been a pleasure to work with the totus team that brings in a wealth of experience in organization effectiveness and facilitation. totus has a very strong work ethic and the team understands the client needs in depth. They have gone the extra mile in all our engagements with them. We wish team totus the best for the future.”

	“As an organization, we experienced a growth spurt starting in 2007. The realization that we had outgrown the “mom and pop phase” led to the search for help outside the organization. That started the partnership with totus which has been beneficial and impactful for the organization over the last 2 years. The vision for the organization crystallized after many intense sessions, institutionalizing systems and processes to work across multiple funds and across two locations followed, a stronger performance oriented culture started taking shape through mentoring and performance management etc.etc. This entire process was admirably and patiently facilitated by totus. We have come a long way, and we have to go a lot further. We are delighted at partnering with totus and we continue our engagement to break new ground in striving to be a world-class organization.”

	‘totus consulting was invited by us to review our prestigious leadership programme called the Business Leadership Programme which is a programme that we, as a Group, have been running over the last ten years now to groom and develop a leadership pipeline for senior positions. We thought it will be useful to get an outside view on what we could do better and this is how Totus Consulting came in. I am delighted to report that first and foremost, totus led by Ganesh did a very thorough job of reviewing the entire leadership eco-system of the Group and then went on to review the specific leadership programme from start to finish. At the end of this review, they offered us extremely valuable inputs in terms of change to make it tighter and more effective. They went beyond a formal brief to offer an overarching framework on leadership development. I found the whole experience both energizing and enriching. I wish totus the very best in their engagements with industry.’

Ganesh and team were able to facilitate the entire workshop in a professional and efficient manner that helped achieve the objectives of this workshop.

	“The level of experience and the quality of insights exceeded my expectations. The fact that this was accompanied by a real willingness to listen, learn about the company and our ideas on what would work was really a pleasant surprise. The downside when dealing with experts is that they usually know it all, and have pre-fixed notions on the “right way”. This attitude was conspicuous by its absence, and was the best part about working with totus.”
	- Mr. Siraj Dhanani, CEO, PharmARC Analytic Solutions, 2008.

	“It has been a pleasure working with Ganesh and Latha. What makes it special working with Totus is the personal care, commitment & long-term orientation in all initiatives/advice. We appreciate the support given to the Founders in terms of being a sounding board and always keeping the best interests in mind. Our engagement/relationship has gone to a phase where we know we can rely on each other and is built on mutual trust and respect. We also appreciate the unbiased and critical views we get sometimes and the push to keep excelling.”
	- Mr. Sriram Subramanya, Managing Director, Integra Software Services Pvt Ltd, 2008.

	“The overall engagement was handled well. A lot of detailing was done. The inputs and insights gathered during the sensing were quite valuable. Would like to appreciate the patience with which both Srinivasan and Rajini handled all the detailed deliberations.”
	- Mr. Murlidhar S, Co-founder & COO, MeritTrac Services Pvt. Ltd, 2008.

	“We are appreciative of the time and effort that Totus, and Latha in particular has expended in her engagement with us. We are a little behind schedule because of internal constraints despite which Latha has gone the extra mile in accommodating our needs and schedules. The input provided has been invaluable in assessing the needs of our organization.”
	- Ms. Annu Thomas, HR – Head, Saksoft Limited, 2008.

	“Ganesh and the totus team have been working with us for the past three years. Ganesh and totus were highly recommended by my Mentor and I realized the reason for recommendation as soon as I started working with Ganesh and his team. The engagement with totus is not a typical one since they do not come with a pre determined solution. totus understood the need and in fact challenged the priorities at the beginning of engagement. This is very essential since Ganesh and his team brings in a vast experience and we were able to draw wisdom which helped us to properly prioritize and progress the engagement productively. Whenever totus and Shasun worked together it was difficult to differentiate them as a team and this also brought in a sense of trust and respect between both the teams which facilitated the success of totus engagement. totus is involved with Shasun from the basics to even strategy. Ganesh apart from being part of leading the totus team on Shasun’s assignment also helps me individually as an executive coach which immensely helped me in refocusing my people priorities.”
	- Mr. N. Govindarajan, CEO, Shasun Chemicals and Drugs Limited, 2008.
