The firm positions itself as an impact-driven consultancy delivering end-to-end solutions from concept to commissioning, supported by its 'TKC Perspective' thought leadership library of blogs, reports, and white papers.

The core offering is bespoke management consulting services priced via custom quotes tied to project scope and client requirements, with revenue generated entirely through professional services engagements. TKC leverages a strategic partnership with WGSN, a global fashion and consumer trend forecasting firm, to embed trend intelligence into client deliverables, and participates in international industry events such as the World Retail Congress 2025. Marketing and client acquisition rely on a multi-channel thought leadership approach spanning LinkedIn, YouTube, Instagram, X, Facebook, a blog/perspective hub, newsletters, and webinars, paired with direct enterprise sales engagement.

The firm is founder-led, with Arvind Singhal as Chairman, Founder & Managing Director, Saloni Nangia as President & CEO, and senior vice presidents Amit Gugnani and Ankur Bisen. Ownership is privately held with no disclosed external investors, parent company, or funding rounds. The technology stack is not disclosed as a proprietary platform; TKC operates as a traditional labor-intensive consulting firm whose intellectual assets, consultant expertise, and partnership ecosystem (notably WGSN) constitute its primary value drivers.
