Each time you peek, the world has changed and its rules have been rewritten.
How can teams and individuals be relevant in a shape-shifting world?
Enter CTQ.
Listen to K.S.Prashant, MD India, IDeaS Revenue Solutions talk about how CTQ helps his team stay relevant.
Our Story
CTQ’s mission is to enable companies and individuals to continuously build future relevance.
We live in a world where little can be taken for granted. Too many people are trapped on the Treadmill of Today, leading to their slow and inevitable irrelevance. For, they thought the future was someone else’s problem.
But not some leaders and individuals. They had the right mindset, culture, and habits to stay relevant. To grapple with what was coming next.
At CTQ, we believe the world needs all of us to be future relevant. CTQ started in 2014 to help leaders and growth-minded individuals make future relevance an everyday routine. (Read our Future Relevance manifesto.)
MEET OUR TEAM
B.V. Harish Kumar has been a marketer and entrepreneur for two decades. A co-founder at CTQ, some of his best insights have come from interests in fields like tennis and gardening. A flourishing garden needs a friendly environment, a thoughtful approach, and just the right amount of daily action. Sounds like upleveling to Harish.
J. Ramanand was a researcher in computer science before co-founding CTQ. An alumnus of IIT Bombay, he is the youngest winner of the BBC quiz show Mastermind India. Ramanand swears to being fueled by randomness. Collecting eclectic ideas for decades has helped him apply brimfuls of curiosity and creativity to problem-solving.
Sirisha Bhamidipati has deep experience in identifying and upleveling company cultures to enable 10X growth. A Fulbright Scholar, she has studied at Carnegie Melon University and IIM Ahmedabad.

Sanasi Kelkar loved sports and writing so much that she became a sports journalist with two of India’s best newspapers. Since then, she has created new-age educational content and became a self-taught designer and video editor. Some of her best lessons have come from listening to the actor and communicator Alan Alda.

FIVE WAYS WE UPLEVEL OURSELVES
We read every day: CTQ reads one book summary every day. This opens our eyes to new ideas, trends, and authors. Read about how we have clocked over 1000+ days without missing a day. (To build such a habit for yourself, head over to CTQ Compounds.)
We answer FutureRing questions: Each week, we answer a special question designed to make us reflect on our future relevance. These questions cover topics like learning insights, future trends, and signals of change.
We do work with interesting people: Our clients bring us interesting problems, pushing us to be more creative, and showing us new sides of the world. Their intellectual humility and curiosity keeps us grounded. If this sounds like a description of you, we’d love to say hello!
We record Smartcasts and write Smartletters: Our intellectual curiosity needs an outlet of expression. Two example are the CTQ Smartcasts and our weekly Smartletter. Do subscribe to them. Oh, and we almost forgot about Incite Your Month.
We practice and experiment: Our Future Fitness give us practice grounds for trying out new ideas. It’s a place to fail gracefully. These pay off: offerings like CTQ Compounds have emerged from such practice grounds.
