LEMON CONSULTING

What LEMON CONSULTING does

Lemon Consulting is a Mumbai-based, founder-owned HR and professional services consultancy established in 2007 by Vipul Porwal. The company delivers recruitment and staffing services (including RPO and permanent hiring), corporate training across sales, BFSI, leadership, and soft skills, resume writing, career coaching, cabin crew interview preparation, English communication enhancement using its branded GRASP method, foreign language training, and content writing services. It also operates a personalized corporate gifting vertical launched in 2013. Services are sold to enterprise clients across Indian industries including IT, BPO, BFSI, media, logistics, and hospitality, and delivered via email-driven B2B engagement, on-site training, and Zoom/Google Meet/Skype-based e-learning for individual learners.

The business has no proprietary technology platform; service delivery depends on human trainers, recruiters, and standard video-conferencing tools. Revenue is generated through professional services fees for recruitment engagements, per-training packages, resume writing fees tiered by experience level, and product sales from the corporate gifting vertical. Pricing is not publicly disclosed and all inquiries are routed through generic email addresses ([email protected] and [email protected]). Go-to-market is sales-led with enterprise field sales motion complemented by word-of-mouth referrals and testimonials from senior executives at TCS, Infosys, Standard Chartered, JLL, Givenchy, CMA CGM, and other named clients. The company is privately held, has no external funding, no disclosed headcount, no social media presence, and no AI or technology differentiation evident in the source data.

Others

• Naukri.com (InfoEdge): India's largest job portal and recruitment platform. Indirectly competitive with Lemon's recruitment services by enabling self-serve employer hiring, particularly for the volume hiring and mid-level segments Lemon has historically served.
