In the professional journey of the business world, entrepreneurship is the most amazing and self-empowering voyage an individual could embrace and embark upon. Though outwardly the excursion, one begins towards the external goals of out-worldly success and achievements including fame, material rewards, and glory glows glamorously, inwardly, the innate and eternal satisfaction one receives because of the constant reminder that every kind of struggle an individual is going through is for one’s self-improvement and own prosperity.
The fundamental transformation happens when initially the individual fails. However, instead of giving up, that individual entrepreneurial spirit is ready to burn through hellfire in order to achieve an amber-like ever-lightening leadership charisma. That is the true measure of one’s extraordinary willpower, superhuman strengths, and never-to-die attitude.
One could say all this is true about Mr Dhaval Prajapati and Mr Rahul Revne, mentors to several MSME entrepreneurs. They have been in this field since 2009 and know the issues and challenges of MSMEs in and out, which helps them connect effectively with existing and aspiring entrepreneurs.
Working with more than 100 enterprises as a consultant, they say ‘this is just beginning.’ He had the experience of handling clients from loss-making companies to 2000 crore successful business transitions. They are purpose-driven visionary, passionate about business training, consulting and nation-building, and thus, a transformational leader in the truest sense.

As they say, a thousand-mile journey begins with a single step. So is the journey of Karma Vibes. After 12+ years of working in the training and consultancy industry, they embarked on the amazing journey of entrepreneurship.
A Story of Inception
Established in January 2020, Karma Vibes has helped around 20 businesses to take up the journey of transformation, and this is just the beginning. Dhaval and Rahul started working with a loss-making company and currently have a company with a 2000 crore turnover in their portfolio.
With immense pleasure, they would like to mention that two of their clients have seen radical improvements, and together they turned their loss-making company into one that reached its break-even point within the next couple of months. This transformation is the result of combined efforts from both ends on improving systems and processes.
Working as a trainer and consultant for 12+ years taught us the importance of systems and a structured work framework. But it also showed me that out-of-the-box thinking is very essential to provide an optimum solution to the customers.
They love challenges and have a passion for problem-solving. Thus, for them starting their own venture to help businesses thrive was the best amalgamation of their passion and experience. One of the biggest challenges that they faced was to get all the stakeholders of the client’s organization to agree on a solution and have them act on it.
The other challenge is language hurdles while handling clients from different parts of the country. Different industries and different companies have unique challenges and require extensive research and in-depth knowledge to be able to make the right decisions and the right solutions.
The most valuable quantity is the ability to trust. In training and consulting, the client literally has to trust you with his bread and butter; thus, gaining their trust and living up to the expectations is the biggest value you can give to the client.
Secondly, continuous learning and industry knowledge are essential for the client’s success. Also, the ability to produce results is one of the fundamental values for which our clients have chosen us over our competitors.
Training and Consulting is mainly a reference business industry. Thus, relationship building is the key to success and is my company’s strength. We hand-hold the client throughout the process rather than just making the plan of action for them.
Indulging in the Words of the Wise
What Dhaval and Rahul believe in is to:
Keep upgrading, if you want to earn Cash work on KASH (Knowledge, Ability, Skills, Habits).
Keep the fire within alive—The passion with the right plan and action with take you places. Even if it’s one small step ahead—just keep moving forward in the right direction.
Be flexible—if something doesn’t work—go back—analyse, and adjust the plan accordingly.
Embracing the Further Opportunities
The success of consulting lies in the successful execution of the charted plan – which needs extensive follow-ups and milestone tracking. Adopting project management software/tools allows us to scale effectively and efficiently.
They are creating online platforms for knowledge exchange between their clients—so that they can enrich their knowledge. Simple financial analysis tools and scorecards will make it simple for clients without extensive knowledge of analysis and decision-making to make informed decisions.
