  • “Bunge started with a project for an Entry strategy and action plan into a new business segment in India. The work done by Universal Consulting was exhaustive, detailed and most importantly provided insight into where and how to invest as also the required scale to be cost competitive. The team worked as an extended arm of Bunge with a quick response time, 24 x7 and an attitude of   “Whatever it takes”.   As Bunge, we were delighted with the performance of Universal Consulting and have worked with them for three other projects since. They continue to deliver high quality with commitment and are cost effective.”

  • “We engaged Universal Consulting for a market landscape and assessment initiative as well as development of an implementation plan.  Our expectations of the deliverables were quite high having worked previously with numerous strategy consulting firms.  UC more than surpassed our expectations as they provided detailed insights on facets of the market(s) that we had neglected to appreciate.

    The firm’s strength resides in their ability to interpret our ideas; develop a thorough project scope; and synthesize complex primary and secondary data.  As future projects arise, we will consider working with Universal as our strategy partner.”
