180 Degrees Consulting SGGSCC

What 180 Degrees Consulting SGGSCC does

180 Degrees Consulting SGGSCC is a student-run nonprofit consultancy chapter founded in 2019 at Sri Guru Gobind Singh College of Commerce, University of Delhi, and affiliated with 180 Degrees Consulting, described as the world's largest student consultancy. The organization delivers professional advisory services — including strategic planning, market research, financial analysis, social impact evaluation, SEO, digital marketing, UI/UX design, data management, and HRM — to socially conscious organizations such as NGOs, social enterprises, and impact-driven companies. Its consulting labor pool comprises 300+ university student consultants supported by 7 expert mentors, including Forbes 30 under 30 honorees, who deliver projects at nominal rates while donating their time and skills.

The chapter does not operate a proprietary technology platform; service delivery is structured around a consulting methodology inspired by leading global practices and a knowledge content library that includes the CaseClosed casebook series, Guesstimate guides, a Case Compendium of award-winning decks, and an extensive portfolio of industry analysis reports covering sectors such as EdTech, gaming, UPI, sustainable fashion, and the creator economy. It also runs a recurring event portfolio (Case-Ette, Pinnacle, Case Crunch, Beyond 180) that functions as both a student recruitment funnel and a brand-building mechanism. The chapter reports cumulative outputs of 42+ completed projects and 1M+ lives touched since inception.

The business model is explicitly pro bono / nominal-rate: student consultants donate their time and the organization does not generate revenue. There are no funding rounds, no external investors, and no parent company. Go-to-market is sales-led and lightweight, relying on direct client outreach through the website, social media (Instagram, Facebook, LinkedIn), the parent 180 Degrees Consulting network, and event-driven engagement. Leadership is annually refreshed through student appointments under faculty Convenor Prof. Dr. Kawal Gill, with the most recent 2025-26 team including President Divyam Aggarwal and a multi-functional director slate across Client, Strategy, Marketing, and Operations.
