What CEOFactory.vc does

CEOFactory.vc is an India-based boutique management consulting firm incorporated as VCCF Thinklabs LLP and founded in 2023, headquartered in Ghaziabad, Uttar Pradesh. The firm operates a hands-on execution model — explicitly distinguishing itself from traditional advisory consulting by embedding teams inside client engagements rather than delivering slide-based recommendations. Its service is structured into two products: Stambh, a strategy consulting offering with four integrated modules (Growth & Strategy, People Operations, Organization & Transformation, and SCM & Manufacturing), and Neev, a startup incubation program that partners with early-stage founders as an extended team covering operations, sales, marketing, and procurement.

The firm is built around three founding partners — Deepanker Gupta (IIT Dhanbad, FMS Delhi), Tarin Bansal (BITS Pilani, IIM Calcutta), and Shaurya Dwivedi (IIM Udaipur) — supported by ~12 team members drawn from IIT, IIM, BITS Pilani, MDI Gurgaon, NIT Warangal, and ESCP Paris. The partners bring operating track records that include scaling a startup to pentacorn status, turning around manufacturing units managing INR 30+ bn in annual business, and three unicorn-building stints; this operating credibility is the firm's primary go-to-market lever.

Revenue is generated through custom-priced professional-services engagements with mid-to-large enterprises across diverse verticals — including a leading background verification firm (client servicing turnaround), a publicly listed dental-care e-commerce company (offline sales vertical build), an established air pollution control equipment manufacturer (X-to-10X transformation), and a niche financial services provider (organization transformation from owner-driven to process-driven). Outcomes are documented in public case studies with specific metrics (e.g., 17% manpower cost reduction, 8.5-hour to 3-hour ticket resolution time, 36 crore to 54 crore quarterly revenue uplift, sales team growth from 20 to 65+). Lead generation relies on case-study content marketing, LinkedIn presence, and partner-led campus guest lectures and recruitment drives at BML Munjal University, NIT Warangal, and the ACIC-BMU Foundation (Atal Innovation Mission–backed). The firm currently operates only in India, has no disclosed external funding, and provides no public pricing or revenue disclosure.
