A strategic people advisory and solutions consulting practice
60 Bits Consulting is a strategic people advisory and solutions consulting based in Mumbai, India. Our purpose is delivering business outcomes through people.
We work with a small number of clients at a time, on the challenges that sit between strategy and execution: leadership, culture, capability and change.
Every engagement is led by a senior OD practitioner, in the room, with your people. We facilitate rather than lecture, co-design rather than prescribe, and stay until the new behaviour holds without us.
Small change makes a big difference.
We believe insights drive results, and the best insights come from people: your team and your customers.
Using process and creative facilitation, and a range of other OD tools, we help organizations solve complex business problems, enhance customer value and improve team performance through OD consulting, learning solutions and coaching.
Where 60 Bits comes from
Our brains process about 10 million bits of information every second. The part we are consciously aware of, our mind, handles only about 60 bits of it.
The brain is built to run efficiently, on autopilot. That is also what produces inattention and inertia, and keeps us from better behaviour and better decisions.
With the right 60 bits of information in front of us, we can take an informed decision in a sixtieth of a second, and change the business around us with pioneering, game-changing solutions.
At 60 Bits we understand this well. We work with organizations and individuals to simplify work, using the power of the 60 Bits mind: we facilitate them to bridge gaps, resolve conflicts and build confidence, so that the right thing gets done at the right time.
Three things you can hold us to
Engagements are not handed down to a junior team once the proposal is signed.
We design the conditions for that thinking and hold the room while it happens.
Decisions made, roles filled, behaviour observed by the people who work alongside them.
Two founders and a co-founder, senior in every room

The team
Engagements are founder-led and supported by a hand-picked group of senior facilitators and coaches, brought in for scale and never as a substitute.
Ten people; names, roles and portraits to be confirmed. Roles above are illustrative.
What people who know the work say
Its strength lies in its simplicity, clarity, and deep understanding that facilitation is ultimately about people.
Each idea they share has emerged from their on-field laboratory. I have witnessed them practise what they prescribe.
It will remind you that our work is not about control - it is about creating the conditions for collective brilliance to emerge.
I felt as though I am sitting with them over a coffee conversation - learning, exchanging, and being reminded why facilitation matters.
From the forewords to our ebook, The Art of Group Process Facilitation.
Join the team
We add senior facilitators, coaches and OD practitioners a few at a time, for the work rather than for headcount. If you have run rooms with leadership teams and want to do more of it, we would like to hear from you.
