ScalAct was born out of a vision to reshape and uplift India's small and medium enterprises, which form the backbone of the nation’s economy. From the very beginning, we knew that SMEs face a unique set of challenges—yet we also recognized the immense potential within them to innovate, scale, and thrive. Our journey started with a mission to bridge the gap between vision and execution for these businesses and to empower MSMEs (Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises) to reach their full potential.
In 2024, with more than 130 million people employed by MSMEs and contributing over 30% to India’s GDP, we saw that these businesses needed more than just advice, they needed a true growth partner. ScalAct emerged as that partner, a consultancy designed not only to strategize but to roll up its sleeves, walk alongside clients, and bring strategies to life in every corner of India.
Our founder, Archaan Pujara, brings over 12+ years of experience working with businesses of all sizes—from small startups to large corporations. Throughout his career, he saw a recurring theme: MSMEs had the drive and potential but often lacked the structure and resources to achieve sustainable growth. Archaan’s passion for turning around businesses and creating exponential growth opportunities inspired the inception of ScalAct, a consultancy firm that is passionately committed to scaling India’s MSME sector.
Our team shares this vision. Together, we have accumulated over 24,000 hours of consulting experience across diverse industries, from manufacturing and finance to technology and retail. This experience, combined with our deep understanding of India’s business landscape, allows us to address challenges head-on and to offer tailored solutions for each client we serve.
We believe that ideas are only as good as their execution. With this in mind, we made execution our core DNA. ScalAct doesn’t stop at creating strategies; we implement, monitor, and adjust to ensure that every recommendation delivers results. We operate with a Gemba mindset, a Japanese concept that means “going to the place where the work happens.” Over 80% of our consulting engagements involve on-site collaboration, as we work directly with clients to understand their processes, identify bottlenecks, and craft customized solutions that work in their unique environments.
As a result, our clients see tangible results:
ScalAct’s purpose goes beyond consulting—it’s about fueling a movement to see India’s MSMEs become a powerful force in the global economy. We know that SMEs face substantial challenges, from limited access to financial resources to operational inefficiencies and talent management issues. Our mission is to eliminate these barriers, giving Indian MSMEs a fighting chance to compete, thrive, and lead.
We tailor every solution, knowing that there is no “one-size-fits-all” strategy in a market as dynamic as India. Our team is driven by the belief that when MSMEs thrive, they create jobs, foster innovation, and drive regional economic growth. And with that growth comes a ripple effect that strengthens the national economy, enhances social stability, and improves quality of life for millions.
Our clients’ success is our priority, and we work transparently and ethically to achieve that success.
We believe in straightforward solutions and putting strategies into action. Execution is where real change happens, and we are there to ensure every detail is right.
We believe in constantly refining our methods, staying at the forefront of industry trends, and evolving with our clients’ needs.
For Indian MSMEs, we are more than a consultancy—we are a partner in growth. Our Lifelong Support commitment ensures that our clients have access to continued guidance, whether it’s a strategic pivot, a financial hurdle, or a new growth opportunity. We don’t disappear after the project ends; we stay involved, offering support, follow-ups, and insights as needed to ensure your success is sustained.
We also offer financial acumen that goes beyond traditional consulting. ScalAct provides expert insight into financial planning, cash flow management, and pricing strategies, creating a solid foundation for each client’s business growth.
ScalAct has become a leading choice for businesses across India, with clients experiencing increased profitability, streamlined operations, and new market entry. We believe that by enabling Indian MSMEs to overcome their challenges, we contribute to a stronger, more dynamic economy. We are not just consulting; we’re building a movement to transform Indian MSMEs into global competitors.
As we continue to expand our reach, we invite SME owners who share our vision of growth and innovation to join us on this journey. Together, we can build businesses that not only sustain but thrive, scaling with purpose, efficiency, and a commitment to creating value.
