The Team
Behind Indusights
Over ten years of collaboration, driven by shared values and mission
What Sets Us Apart
Our internal team of consultants combines hands-on industry expertise with entrepreneurial backgrounds.
We share a common vision: helping industries navigate change through agile planning and evidence-based decision-making.
Working in close collaboration with our network of sector specialists, we assemble bespoke teams to match the skills required for each project. This hybrid model ensures that our permanent team leads every engagement while accessing the right technical or operational expertise when needed. Unlike firms bound to fixed internal resources, our approach is flexible, pragmatic, and driven by industrial success.
Across five continents, we work directly with the market, meeting engineers, operators, and business leaders face to face to gather reliable insight built on real engagement.
From supercars to aeronautics, robotics to data centres, we work with specialists in industrial change, concept development, and technologies 4.0.
