-
Rahul Nath
15+ years running operations, revenue and professional services, from strategy and change to the numbers a business is judged on.
-
Arjun Murthy
built the AI platforms that run project management, operations and daily work inside a large multinational business, and safety-critical railway signalling software before that. He has since put AI to work across healthcare, industrial automation, robotics, manufacturing and chartered accountancy firms, trained 1000+ people in AI and automation, and automated workflows for 10+ companies as an independent consultant.
-
Our own project management and knowledge platforms replaced Zoho and Confluence inside a large multinational business.
Sound familiar?
Which of these sounds like your week?
Pick your role. If one of these is costing you sleep, tell us about it.
Owner
-
Nothing moves unless I sign it.
Approvals queue on your desk, a week away means a week of waiting, and the senior people you hired have stopped deciding anything. This is us -
Profit looks fine. The bank balance doesn't.
The profit and loss statement shows a good quarter while you juggle payments, because the money sits in unpaid invoices and slow-moving stock. This is us -
If a few key people resign, we're in trouble.
A few long-serving people know how the business really runs, and work slows down every time one of them is on leave. This is us -
We should be doing something with AI. I don't know where to start.
Every vendor has a pitch, departments buy their own tools, and nothing shows up in the numbers. This is us -
We keep discussing expansion and never decide.
The same new city, new product or new channel proposal comes back every quarter with more research and still no decision. This is us
Leadership
-
The plan was agreed. Nothing on the floor changed.
Everyone nodded in the town hall, and six months later the work runs exactly as it did before. This is us -
Margin fell and I've heard five explanations.
The number moved, every department has a plausible story, and nobody has tested any of them. This is us -
We lose the way a senior partner thinks when they retire.
The partner reads a brief and knows within minutes which argument will hold and which one the other side will take apart. None of that is written down anywhere. This is us -
Month end takes my whole team a week.
Every client's books close in the same few days. Balances are pulled, pasted into schedules and tied back by hand, and the statements come together at the end of it. This is us -
The company-wide number looks fine. I don't trust it.
Overall growth or customer scores look steady, while one region, product line or customer group falls quietly underneath. This is us -
The new system went live. The old hands still use their spreadsheet.
Newer staff took to the tool in days, while the most experienced people quietly kept the paper register they trust. This is us -
The saving in one department became a cost in another.
Purchasing books a saving, and later operations absorbs rework, delays or overtime that nobody connects back to it. This is us
Operations
-
Results depend on who is on shift.
The same job gets done well on one shift and poorly on the next, with the same machines and the same orders. This is us -
Every new system dies after the vendor leaves.
Launch week gets a town hall and a training session. A few months later the floor is back on registers and spreadsheets. This is us -
Every junior lawyer drafts from scratch.
A clause the firm has settled fifty times gets written again from a blank page, or copied out of whichever old matter the junior happened to remember. This is us -
Good parts rejected, bad parts shipped.
Manual checks vary with the shift, and the last camera pilot gave up on glare, dust and a line that never slows down. This is us -
The line stops, and we find out why after it has broken.
A critical machine fails mid-shift, repairs get rushed, spares get air-freighted and the week's plan is gone. This is us -
Work falls through the cracks between teams.
Status gets chased across WhatsApp groups, email and calls, and every meeting starts with asking where things stand. This is us
Finance
-
Month-end still takes a week.
Numbers get pulled from several systems, pasted into spreadsheets and reconciled by hand, and leadership sees them when the month is long gone. This is us -
Our best auditor spots things the others miss.
One person opens a client's books and finds the odd entry within the hour. The same file goes past everyone else without a single question raised. This is us -
Tally exports come out wrong, and someone fixes them by hand.
Ledgers come out with mismatched heads, entries that need splitting and dates in the wrong format, so a junior cleans every file before anyone can work on it. This is us -
Our biggest customer might be our least profitable.
Revenue by customer is tracked closely, while discounts, service effort, returns and payment terms per customer are not. This is us -
Tax season means everyone works nights.
Filings pile into the same few weeks, computations get rebuilt client by client, and the same reconciliation is done again because nobody can find last year's. This is us -
Sales are flat. Margins are down.
The monthly review asks why margin fell when volume held, and nobody has the product and customer mix data to answer. This is us -
We've spent too much to stop now.
A big spend got signed off on a best guess, and now the argument for carrying on is how much has already gone in. This is us -
Every customer gets the same credit terms.
Collections run on phone calls, and customers who pay late get the same terms as those who pay on time. This is us
HR
-
A new hire takes most of a year to reach full speed.
New people shadow a senior colleague for months, ask the same questions every week, and still make the mistakes the veterans stopped making years ago. This is us -
Good people leave, and the exit interview tells us nothing.
A strong performer resigns, says a great opportunity came along, and the real reason surfaces months later over tea. This is us -
Training happened. Nothing changed on the ground.
Everyone signed the attendance sheet, and three weeks later work runs the old way. This is us -
Almost everyone gets the same rating.
Appraisal scores have bunched in the middle for years, so bonuses and promotions feel arbitrary and top performers feel unseen. This is us -
We promoted our best engineer. Now we have a struggling manager.
A strong individual performer becomes a manager, gets no support in the new role, and is struggling within a year. This is us
Sales
-
Our best salesperson closes deals nobody else can.
One person turns quotes round faster, asks better questions early and wins the hard accounts, and the rest of the team can't say how. This is us -
Sales says record quarter. Finance says we missed.
Every function brings its own revenue number to the board meeting, and someone fixes the pack by hand each month. This is us -
We discount to close, and nobody knows what it costs.
Discounts get approved on WhatsApp, each deal looks defensible on its own, and nobody adds them up. This is us -
Customers go quiet, and we notice when the orders stop.
Lost customers show up as a monthly number, with no warning from the complaints, smaller orders and late payments that came before it. This is us -
All the growth money goes on new customers.
Advertising and new-account targets are easy to point to, while repeat orders, cross-selling and renewals belong to nobody. This is us
IT
-
Every new system dies after the vendor leaves.
Launch week gets a town hall and a training session. A few months later the floor is back on registers and spreadsheets. This is us -
The AI pilot impressed the board. It never went live.
Great in the demo, shaky on real data, and security still hasn't signed off, eight months later. This is us -
We pay for seats nobody uses.
The renewal price went up again, the features you need sit in the next tier, and the real work still happens in spreadsheets. This is us -
Customer data can't leave the building, so AI stays on hold.
Legal said no to outside AI models, and nobody has set up AI that runs on your own servers. This is us -
Every department is buying its own AI tool.
Five AI subscriptions, three bills, and nobody can say what data went where or which team ran up the cost. This is us

Our flagship: Multiply Your Best
Your best people can't be on every shift. Their way of working can.
We sit with your top performers, capture how they really do the job, and build it into AI workflows the whole team uses. Nobody has to stop work while we do it. Chartered accountancy firms, law firms and other professional practices use it the same way, to give every junior the standard of their best partner.
An example
Your best estimator turns around a quote in two hours. Everyone else takes two days. Multiply Your Best puts her checks, shortcuts and judgement calls into a workflow every estimator can use.
-
Pick the job that matters
Quotes, inspections, month-end close, customer onboarding. First we measure how far ahead your best people really are.
-
Watch the best at work
We sit with them and note the shortcuts, checks and judgement calls that never made it into the manual.
-
Build it into the tools you already use
AI agents, checklists, vision checks and alerts, inside your sales, accounts and line systems or your team chat.
-
Test it next to your current process
A small team tries it first while everyone else works as usual. A person approves every key step.
-
Roll it out, team by team
Short training on the floor, help when people get stuck, and weekly numbers until the whole team works closer to your best.
Your experienced people shape it, their know-how is credited as theirs, and they stay the people everyone turns to.

How we think
The cause is rarely where the problem shows up.
Sales fall in one region because of a stock decision made at head office. Returns climb because of a packaging change nobody told the warehouse about. We trace it back, fix it at the source, and stay until your people are using the fix.
-
A first answer early
We tell you early where we think the problem is, then test it hard before you spend on it.
-
Pull the number apart
Sales down? Fewer customers, fewer visits or smaller bills? We split it until the piece that moved is in front of you.
-
Look inside the average
A steady company number can hide one branch, product or shift that is falling fast.
-
Your experienced people shape the change
The old way keeps running until the new one proves itself on real work.
What we do
The plan, the paperwork, the line or the software bill. Start where it hurts.

The founders review the plan and the go-live
Explore the practice: AI Business SoftwareManagement consulting
The plan is the easy part. Getting people to change is the hard part.
We bring long-serving teams along with new rules and new tools, so the plan doesn't die in a slide deck.
A strategy your managers can repeat
A few clear bets, an owner for each and numbers your leaders agree on. Short enough to fit on one page.
Change that reaches the floor
Experienced staff join early, their know-how gets credit, and the old way stays in place until the new one proves itself.
Sales and finance agree on one revenue number
Leadership stops arguing about the figures, and work that was done actually gets billed and collected.
AI projects that must show their payback
Every AI or automation idea gets an owner, a cost, a payoff and a point where we stop if it isn't working.
Both founders are IIM Ahmedabad alumni. Rahul Nath has spent 15+ years running operations, revenue and professional services.
AI, automation and robotics
We don't stop at the demo.
-
Decides in real time, before the part moves on
Vision models run on the camera or a small board beside it, with no round trip to the cloud.
-
In the cloud, or inside your own data centre
Run AI on cloud services or on NVIDIA-class servers you own, and see what every part of it costs.
-
AI that updates your ERP and CRM, with your approval
AI agents draft the entry, check it against your rules and update the record. You set the limits.
-
Robots that fit your line
Vision, tracking and control software that gets robots working with your line, with the mechanical and safety engineering delivered alongside it.
Arjun Murthy leads software and AI at an Indian electronics manufacturer, from real-time vision and tracking on the line to everyday AI workflows.
Already running every day
We've already built the software you rent from SaaS vendors.
Our project, operations, HR and knowledge platforms run at an Indian electronics manufacturer today. We shape them around how your company works, and the per-seat bill goes away.
-
Project management
Replaced Zoho.
-
Operations management
Runs daily work across a large manufacturing business, with AI at its core.
-
HR
Runs HR work at the same manufacturer. No per-seat fees.
-
Knowledge base and wiki
Replaced Confluence. The company's know-how, in one place.
Each person's tasks for the day sit on their laptop as synced sticky notes, so nothing slips.
The questions a tough board would ask
Every AI idea gets questioned before it gets funded.
Engineers ask whether it works. We also ask whether it pays, whether customers will notice and whether your people will use it.
-
Direction
Does this move the business where it needs to go?
-
Payback
What does it cost, when does it pay back, and what if it doesn't?
-
Customers
Will customers notice it in price, speed or quality?
-
Bottlenecks
Does it fix the step that really limits output?
-
People
Who has to work differently, and what will help them do it?
-
Vendor terms
Are the vendor's terms fair, and what should you negotiate?
-
Real numbers
Are the numbers real, or just a good-looking demo?

Who you work with
Founders on the first call. Senior people on the work, every day after.

Co-founder and CEO
Leads business and operations
- 15+ years in operational analysis, revenue generation and professional services.

One firm for the business decision and the working system, so nothing gets lost between the plan and the build.
EliteWorks delivers every engagement end to end, from the first call to go-live, with the right expertise for each project. You get a start date before you sign.
EliteWorks is led by its founders, Rahul Nath and Arjun Murthy.
EliteWorks became a company in 2026, in Bengaluru. Its founders bring 25+ years across operations, AI and engineering, and had already consulted for several companies on their own.
Questions
What you'd ask us on the first call.
What if my problem isn't on your site?
Write to us anyway. The problems on this site are a sample, not the limit. If it touches how your business runs, sells, decides or uses technology, describe it in a few lines and we'll tell you where we would start.
How do you find the real cause?
We agree first what you need to decide, who decides and by when. Then we give you an early view of where the problem is and test it hard against your numbers. We split the number until one piece is moving, check whether the problem is everywhere or in one branch, product or shift, and follow the effect into other departments. Your experienced staff shape the fix, a small team proves it on real work, and success means people are still using it months later. You get a clear call on what to do next, with an owner for each action.
How do we know you can deliver?
EliteWorks is new as a company, but our experience is not. Between us we bring more than 25 years across operations, AI and engineering, and before forming EliteWorks we each consulted for and helped multiple companies as independent advisors. Client names stay confidential unless a client agrees to be named, so a founder joins the first call and walks you through the work closest to yours.
How senior are the people on our problem?
Senior people run the work. Your problem is not handed down to whoever happens to be free. The founders set the approach and review the plan, the design and the decision to go live, and you meet a founder on the first call and again at the points where a real decision gets made. Hard calls are challenged by senior people who have faced the same problem before any advice reaches you, everyone works to one plan, and EliteWorks stands behind the result.
Will our long-serving people accept this?
That's where we start. We bring them in early, because they usually know where the process really breaks. Nobody gives up the old way until the new one has proved itself, and training happens where people work, not in a lecture hall. People who helped shape a change tend to defend it.
Can the AI run on our own servers, with nothing leaving the building?
Yes. We can run AI models on your premises, on your own GPU servers (NVIDIA or similar) or on the devices themselves. Where speed matters, a vision model on the device can decide in real time, fast enough for a moving production line.
Why own our software instead of renting SaaS?
Sometimes you shouldn't, and the Platform Fit Check will tell you so. Owning makes sense when you pay for lots of seats, use a fraction of the features, or change how you work to fit the tool. You also wouldn't start from a blank page: our project management platform already replaced Zoho at an Indian electronics manufacturer.
Who looks after the software in year three?
You own the code and the data, so you are never tied to us. Before we build anything, we agree in writing who maintains it: your IT team, a support arrangement with us, or both.
How do you keep our data safe?
Your data stays where it already lives, because we work inside your own systems and accounts from the first week. If you want a mutual NDA (non-disclosure agreement) before you share anything, we sign one. We also tell you in writing where anything we hold is stored. We don't hold a security certification today, and we don't claim one.
You're in Bengaluru. Can you work with us in the US, UK or UAE?
Yes. The Vision Line Check and the Workflow Automation Sprint run fully remote. Our Bengaluru day overlaps with the working day in the UK and the UAE. For US teams, we agree regular call times in your morning before the project starts. Other work happens on site when the proposal says the job needs it. If your data must stay inside your country, we build on your own servers or a cloud region there.
