Why Everest?
Why Everest?
The inspiration for Everest Consultancy Group was born out of a defining moment at one of the world's most iconic heights. On the night I reached Everest Base Camp, surrounded by the vast silence and breathtaking majesty of the Himalayas, I experienced a profound epiphany: my true calling was to help fellow entrepreneurs and business leaders achieve their own summits.
Having "been there and done that" as an entrepreneur, I intimately understand the challenges and triumphs that come with building a business from the ground up. That night, I resolved to dedicate my expertise to supporting those driven to grow, equipping them with the insights, mentorship, and hands-on guidance I once needed and sought myself. This experience isn't just a story; it's the core of our philosophy, grounding our work in empathy, ambition, and a commitment to helping others succeed.

Everest Consulting Group (ECG) isn’t just a business idea, it’s a personal summit. Born from my trek to Everest Base Camp and the reflective transition following my last venture, it’s my platform to guide founders and leaders toward their own peak performance.
I've envisioned ECG as a collaborative, high-trust space where strategic clarity meets emotional intelligence. It's a partnership, not a transaction. Building powerful tools like the ECG Review allows us to offer clients a quick and insightful look into their business's vitality, without the complexity and bureaucracy of traditional firms.
The ultimate goal is to create a legacy of meaningful impact by mentoring, advising, and helping others to not just grow, but to scale with purpose and passion. This is a journey of both personal and professional fulfilment, and we are committed to helping every client reach their highest potential. The core belief is simple: By helping our clients achieve their summits, we are reaching our own.
