What TTR Group does

TTR Group is a boutique corporate advisory firm headquartered in the United Arab Emirates that provides consulting services across labour markets, social development, applied innovation, and sustainable economic growth. Founded in 2022, the firm targets government ministries, semi-government entities, investment promotion agencies, R&D and innovation authorities, and non-profit organisations across the six GCC countries. The senior leadership comprises two partners, Raghav Iyer (ex-BCG, ex-Booz & Co, ex-Strategy&) and Tiago Fernandes (ex-BCG, ex-General Assembly, ex-ADIO), whose combined ~30 years of experience across top-tier consulting and GCC government roles underpin the firm's positioning as pragmatic strategists that accompany clients from strategy design through to implementation.

The firm delivers four interconnected service pillars: Advancing the Labour Market (nationalisation, immigration policy, talent development), Enable Social Development (national social strategies, NGO sector development), Driving Sustainable Economic Growth (FDI attraction, investment promotion operations), and Applied Innovation Initiatives (national innovation strategies, GTM support for innovative companies, innovation-as-a-service). There is no proprietary technology platform; all engagements are delivered through project-based consulting. TTR Group reports 40+ projects delivered across 12 geographies within three years of operating.

Revenue is generated exclusively through professional services fees for tailored, multi-year consulting engagements, with no publicly disclosed pricing tiers and no standard rate card. Sales motion is consultative and relationship-driven, with senior partners leading client acquisition through direct engagement (website contact form, email, phone) and established GCC government networks. Distribution is fully direct with no resellers or marketplace presence, and marketing is limited to the corporate website, a LinkedIn company page, and word-of-mouth within GCC public-sector circles. No external funding rounds, institutional investors, or parent-company relationships are disclosed.
