Welcome to Confluence Consultants

We are a global community of experts and consultants

We are Confluencers – a group of people across geographies, seeking to pool their resources, expertise and networks to game the world and render it predictable and intelligible. Through our ‘Glocal’ – global, national and local lens, we enable companies, start-ups and investors to understand and manage risks related to geo-political uncertainties, policy and regulatory framework, market and consumer dynamics and local socio-cultural risks. Our TIMELY, ACTIONABLE and NON-CONFLICTED intelligence and analysis makes sure that you are not caught in a ‘VUCA’ situation.

Financial and political feasibility need to be intertwined

There is a paradigm shift in the business operating environment

Covid, Conflict and Climate Change are the new reality

Risks have become multi-dimensional: 3Cs – Covid, Conflict and Climate Change are the new reality

Financial feasibility has to take into account – the often overlooked political, regulatory, geo-political and local risks related to community, resources and environment

Traditional models of business assessment based on IRRs and NPVs are no longer adequate

A comprehensive new model is required that helps companies navigate the ‘politics of doing business’ through timely, actionable and non-conflicted intelligence and analysis
