management, database software, conversion tools, translation tools, retail automation, mini-
ERP, analytical and statistical software, call-centre, personal finance to name a few.

VARs, Government agencies & Individual dealers both in the domestic market as well as
abroad. He has also created alliances with international hardware and software vendors like
IBM, Oracle & SAP to promote the software products & allied services in those markets.

Having observed the level of preparedness and the skill set of those selling software
products in different markets, Badri has prepared a Training Program specially for them in
the form of NRich*ExSell. This is a highly experiential program & is designed to benefit
those selling software products regardless of the application area, price point or the target
segment. He has condensed some of the best practices and some soul-searching
exercises into this Program. He has spent many years researching to get the right mix of
sales effectiveness and has now brought all his knowledge to you in a platter.

Badri has also done extensive research into the software products being developed and
sold in the Indian market. On the basis of this research, he has identified the difference
between successful products and the failures as “Market Readiness”, which is 100% internal
to the product organization. To help product companies, he has developed a powerful
diagnostic Service called NRich*Scan to assess their current levels of market readiness on
more than 50 parameters and to identify the gaps therein.
