By Dr. Narendra Tomar, Founder & Managing Director, Marshall Ridge Consulting Ltd (MRC)
New Delhi [India], December 15: India is entering one of the most pivotal economic phases in its history. As the nation marches toward Viksit Bharat 2047, the vision is bold: a fully developed, technologically advanced, globally competitive India. But national transformation demands far more than ambitious plans — it requires world-class governance, AI-led capability, export-driven services, globally aligned leadership, and resilient enterprises.
Marshall Ridge Consulting Ltd (MRC) was created with this urgency in mind. The firm stands on a simple conviction:
India needs next-generation, AI-driven, governance-centric consulting partners built on global standards — yet deeply aligned with India’s long-term interests.
MRC operates as a focused, founder-led, specialist firm, with a clear thesis and capability roadmap:
India-first in mission, global-grade in execution.
1. Why MRC Exists: Solving the Most Critical Enterprise Gaps
Despite India’s success with digital public infrastructure — UPI, ONDC, GSTN, FASTag — organisations continue to face three major structural gaps:
1. Governance, Risk & Compliance (GRC)
Still largely manual, fragmented, and reactive, leaving enterprises exposed in an increasingly regulated world.
2. AI Adoption
AI is widely discussed but rarely implemented at scale — and even more rarely in a safe, responsible, regulator-aligned manner.
3. Global Governance Maturity
Indian enterprises often struggle to transform operational capability into globally recognised, board-ready governance maturity.
MRC sits precisely at the intersection of
AI × GRC × ESG × Trade Intelligence × GCC Strategy × Leadership Development — a combination few firms globally operate in.
2. UK Registration, India-First Impact: Strategy Backed by National Interest
A frequently asked question is:
If MRC is committed to India, why is it registered in the UK?
The reasoning is strategic and aligned with India’s economic ambitions.
UK as Global Gateway
A UK entity provides:
- High trust and contracting credibility
- Access to global markets (UK, Europe, US, GCC)
- Alignment with mature legal and data-protection frameworks
- Preference in cross-border enterprise contracting
India as the Real Engine
All execution, capability building, and delivery are anchored in India:
- India-based delivery centres and teams
- AI R&D Labs built and run in India
- GRC, ESG, and Trade Intelligence projects executed from India
- Leadership development for Indian-origin global CXOs
- Foreign revenue flows directly into Indian jobs and taxation
The UK opens doors. India walks through them — and delivers.
This model strengthens India’s service exports, AI maturity, governance quality, leadership talent, and economic impact — all core elements of Viksit Bharat 2047.
3. MRC’s Strategic Capability Portfolio
