About Dilip
Dilip helps high-tech providers and media firms refine their strategies and undertake organization development initiatives. His clients include enterprise software companies, media and entertainment technology providers, IT services vendors, and office-automation equipment players.
Recent engagements have included developing the overall services strategy and operating model for a diversified software vendor; working with a global set-top box provider to create and implement its platform and technology strategy; and helping a global technology provider to sell solutions and establish platforms with network service providers. On the organizational and operations front, Dilip’s client contributions include building the underlying operating model for delivering “software as a service” (SaaS) for a global software vendor and developing a talent identification and management architecture for a multinational software provider.
Dilip has led several research initiatives at McKinsey and most recently co-authored an article exploring the implications of slow-growth economic cycles for high-tech companies.
