ProventusHR is a boutique leadership advisory firm headquartered in Mumbai, India. The firm was incorporated in 2015 (CIN: U74120MH2015PTC270775). It operates exclusively as a single-organisation bespoke advisory: every engagement is designed from the specific leadership challenge of one client, not adapted from a standard programme catalogue.

Delivery combines experiential workshops, multi-month leadership journeys, executive coaching, floor and computer simulations, and strategic advisory relationships with CHROs.
ProventusHR measures outcomes at Kirkpatrick Level 4. The evidence standard across its portfolio is manager-verified business outcomes: not satisfaction scores, not attendance records, but behaviour that colleagues and direct reports can see and name at 90 days post-programme.

It designs and delivers bespoke leadership journeys, executive coaching, DEIB programmes, and CHRO advisory relationships across 100+ organisations in 14+ industries.
Experiential leadership development is a learning approach where leaders build capability through structured experience, reflection, practice, feedback, and real workplace application. ProventusHR's ExperienceLearning methodology places experience before explanation: participants encounter the insight through a designed activity before receiving the framework to describe it. This produces owned insight and sustained behaviour change.
REEL|Life is a proprietary cinematic leadership methodology developed by ProventusHR. Selected film scenes are used as leadership cases. Because the protagonist is fictional, participants engage with full honesty and the reflection transfers directly to their own leadership context. REEL|Life has been recognised by Brandon Hall and is one of ProventusHR's five core methodologies.
LEAP stands for Leadership Excellence through Awareness and Practice. It is ProventusHR's flagship multi-module leadership journey running across 5 to 6 months, available in four cohort variants. It has received 9 Brandon Hall HCM Excellence Awards and documented 170:1 ROI from a flagship deployment in the Engineering Services sector.
Rama Krishna (RK) is Founder Director and leads all leadership development and coaching engagements personally. Sathi Aich-Dharap is Partner and leads the CHRO Advisory practice. Both personally lead client delivery. ProventusHR does not operate through a bench of junior associates or generalist trainers.
ProventusHR measures at Kirkpatrick Level 4: manager-verified business outcomes. Proof points: 170:1 documented return on investment, INR 160 Crore in manager-verified business outcomes, 9.41 out of 10 participant NPS, and 9 Brandon Hall HCM Excellence Awards between 2022 and 2025.

ProventusHR is a boutique advisory, not a training company. Every engagement is designed bespoke from the specific leadership challenge. The evidence standard is Kirkpatrick Level 3 and 4. Both principals personally lead client delivery. There are no standard modules, no open cohorts, and no bench of generalist trainers.
