Profile bio

About Rakesh Murali

Let’s Get to the Bottom LineWith a background in Biomedical Sciences and an MBA in Finance, I’ve built and scaled a tech consulting firm to 100 employees, grew a facility management company 5X in four years, and founded Chennai Startups, a 1,500+ strong community. Today, I help businesses set up and scale Global Capability Centers (GCCs) with SRKay Consulting. The result? Thriving businesses that move up the value chain—while having a little fun along the way!Now for the Fun DetailsSetting up a GCC is like a road trip—exciting, but smoother with a guide. At SRKay Consulting Group, I help businesses navigate everything from talent mapping to location analysis. And I throw in a joke or two. Because why not? Life’s too short to be all business.Talent Mapping: Finding talent isn’t just about resumes. It’s about aligning the right people with your long-term goals and location. Think of me as your talent matchmaker, without the awkward blind dates.Location Analysis: Where should you set up your GCC? Not too costly, not too far from talent, but just right. It’s like the Goldilocks principle, only with more data and fewer porridge bowls.Cost Models: Whether it’s Zero Capex, Virtual GCC, or Build-Operate-Transfer (BOT), I break down complex cost models so even your accountant smiles. Spending smart is our thing.Innovation COEs: Building Innovation Centers of Excellence (COEs) is where transformation happens. It’s where companies level up—and it’s my favorite part of the job.Taxes & Compliance: No one loves taxes, but with transfer pricing and SEZ benefits, I help businesses save money while staying compliant. It’s like finding a hidden treasure.Technology Transitions: The tech world moves fast. My job is to make sure businesses stay ahead, navigating smooth technology transitions without missing a beat.Risk & Compliance: Running a GCC is like a marathon—preparation is key. I make sure compliance and regulatory boxes are checked, so there are no surprises down the road.Over the years, I’ve solved problems far beyond my formal education, guided only by curiosity and the generosity of brilliant people around me. That, I believe, is the secret to growth—humility, learning from others, and enjoying the ride.At the end of the day, business isn’t just about profits—it’s about people. My life’s mission is simple: help businesses succeed, uplift those I work with, and always bring empathy and understanding to every project. Let’s build something amazing together!

Director Of Business Development And Transition

Current

Bengaluru, Karnataka, India

As the Director of Business Development and Transition at SRKay Consulting Group, I help businesses set up and scale Global Capability Centers (GCCs), Global In-House Centers (GICs), and Global Business Services (GBS). My mission? Crafting tailored solutions that help companies rise up the value chain, all while navigating the tricky world of talent, location, and technology transitions—without the headache (hopefully).One of my favorite tasks is Talent Mapping and Recruitment Strategy. Think of it like matchmaking, but instead of finding "the one," we’re looking for a team of superstars. I help companies identify the best talent in the right regions, ensuring recruitment strategies are long-term.Then there’s Location Analysis—choosing the perfect spot for your GCC isn’t as simple as picking somewhere with good coffee (although that helps!). Using the PESTL model, I help businesses evaluate political stability, economic factors, and talent density. Whether it's a shared office or owning the whole building, I make sure the location doesn’t just work—it thrives.When it comes to costs, I break things down so they’re less "yikes" and more "oh, that makes sense." Whether it’s Zero Capex, Virtual GCC, or Build-Operate-Transfer (BOT), I’ll help you figure out the best financial model—no spreadsheets-induced nightmares.What really gets me excited? Helping businesses build Innovation Centers of Excellence (COEs). This is where the magic happens. You know you’ve hit the big leagues when your operations are driving innovation and transforming industries.Technology transitions are another critical piece. Whether it’s advising on SEZ tax benefits or ensuring you don’t trip over transfer pricing studies, I make the complex stuff feel a lot less...well, complex.And compliance? It’s not the flashiest part, but it’s the superhero behind the scenes. I make sure every legal box is checked, so your transition is smoother than a well-made espresso.
