Case study · Conglomerate · ₹100 Cr+ group
KPI discipline that freed ₹75 Cr and cut idle cash by 40%.
A diversified group with multiple business units — each running on gut feel and monthly P&Ls, with no consistent KPI framework across the group.
The problem: Group leadership had no visibility into which business units were performing, where capital was being inefficiently deployed, or how individual unit performance compared to industry benchmarks. Cash was idle, decisions were delayed.
What we did: Built a group-wide Balanced Scorecard with unit-level KPIs benchmarked to industry. Introduced a weekly cash and working capital flash report. Surfaced ₹30 Cr+ in idle treasury balances previously invisible to the CFO. Restructured debt on the back of improved reporting credibility.
The outcome: Idle cash reduced by 40%. The group raised ₹75 Cr in new facilities at ~200 bps lower than the previous round. Management reviews shifted from reactive to forward-looking within a quarter.
