Biography
Strategy begins with the problem you must solve.
Venkat Murthy is a strategist and the creator of Bharateeya Strategic Intelligence™, a seven-stage method for diagnosing the right problem, choosing a direction, testing assumptions and putting a strategy into practice.
His work draws on a corporate leadership background and Bharateeya approaches to observation, discernment and disciplined action. For founders, business owners and leadership teams, the starting point is a recurring problem: enquiries that do not become orders, priorities that compete for the same resources, or work that depends too heavily on one person. BSI guides participants to diagnose the obstacle, choose a coherent approach, test it and coordinate the actions that follow. In the Sankalpa browser app, participants develop, test and implement their strategy over 90 days. The Eliteone author interview explores the experience behind BSI.
The BSI strategy method in print
Bharateeya Strategic Intelligence: Diagnosis to Discipline introduces the seven-stage strategy method. It is one of Venkat’s four books.
From diagnosis to implementation

Applied strategy workshops
Work with a live business problem, examine the evidence and connect a chosen approach to coordinated action.
Telugu, English, Hindi and Tamil
Fluent in Telugu, English, Hindi and Tamil. Understands Kannada and Malayalam.
The conviction
“The quality of your strategy will never exceed the quality of your diagnosis.”
The method
A method for building strategy and putting it to work.
Technology can process information, generate options and accelerate execution. It cannot decide what deserves to be pursued, which problem truly matters or what responsibility a leader must accept.
Establish reality before acting
Separate evidence from interpretation and causes from symptoms.
Commit to one consequential direction
Clarify what must be done, delayed or deleted when everything appears important.
Challenge the expensive assumption
Test the assumption your strategy depends on before committing serious resources.
Translate direction into movement
Build the ownership, sequence and 30, 60 and 90-day rhythm that makes your strategy part of the work.
