These form part of his broader Excellence Intelligence™ framework, including K.S.A.R.™ and PIFFLE®, which enable organizations to create Capability Ecosystems delivering measurable, sustainable results.
Ankur’s approach is grounded in the Excellence Formula™ (Ri + Pe / CS), emphasizing both Results increase and Potential enhancement achieved Consistently and Sustainably. This philosophy extends beyond business metrics to encompass human flourishing, recognizing that true excellence emerges when individuals and organizations develop “Right Intent” to achieve their goals.
Starting his career at the grassroots level in India, Ankur has spent more than two decades primarily based in the United Kingdom, working with and supporting organizations at all levels of hierarchy across every commercially active continent.

Throughout his career, Ankur has focused on developing “Right Intent” in individuals and organizations through involvement in various challenges toward enabling and developing capability across Leadership, Sales, Shopper (Customer/Trade) Marketing, Technology adoption, Analytics, and Public service.
Ankur’s commitment to societal contribution extends significantly beyond professional endeavors. Dedicating substantial time to public and community service, he achieved historic milestones as the first-ever Asian-origin Councillor elected to Bracknell Forest Borough Council and the first person of Indian-origin elected Mayor of the Borough in the United Kingdom.
His academic foundation includes an MBA from Leicester Business School, United Kingdom, and a Post Graduate qualification in Academic Practice.
