Consulting Chat with Nikhil Kulkarni

We had a guest lecture today at NITIE in our business communication class delivered by one of our alumni, Mr. Nikhil Kulkarni also the co-founder of Darwin Tech; a travel technology startup working on products for the leisure holiday market. He has also previously worked with KPMG for more than 10 years before venturing out as an entrepreneur. This was an amazing and insightful session organized by our Professor, T.Prasad sir. It was a great learning opportunity.

The lecture was based below pointers

  • Business Communication in consulting
  • The Pyramid Principle
  • Creating Impact - Tips and tricks
  • Creating a 'Personal Brand' - why, how, when?

Business Communication:

He talked about how communication makes up 80% of our work and how as our career progresses, relationships also become more and more important. He explained how the business proposals are presented using PowerPoints and Word documents. As the world and business evolve, specialists are increasingly in demand. Expert consultants continually face the challenge of making their extensive knowledge of complicated concepts understandable to their clients.

The Pyramid Principle

The Pyramid Principle advocates that ideas in writing should always form a pyramid under a single thought. Our Structure of Communication should follow a sequence of communication from Introduction to Conclusion. 

Creating Impact

The way we communicate with others is such a habitual part of us that we rarely stop and think about it. This translates into business communication too. Organizations, after all, aren’t faceless entities, but groups of real people.

Creating a 'Personal Brand'

Creating a personal brand can be a daunting, mythical task. And one of the easiest ways to get lost in the process is to not know where to start. Using the statistics, images, relevant quotes, and more engaging activities would set you apart. 


The above-mentioned principles and ideologies will help shape our individuality in the ocean of minds. Craving an image for us in society is very essential to uphold our personality.
