About Us
Xellentro is an emerging global provider of project, program,
portfolio management, IT Service management and Agile consulting
and training services. Established in 2012, with Headquarters in
Bangalore, India, Xellentro works closely with its clients in tackling
their most difficult organizational development challenges. Xellentro
is a specialist organization that works with its clients to identify
improvement areas and uses experienced consultants to enhance
their business and development processes.
While the realm of Management Consulting is vast and a number of
firms provide a range of advisory services – starting from niche areas
to general management domains – what differentiates us is our
practitioner’s approach where we don’t limit ourselves only to
advisory and rather prefer to stay on till envisaged benefits are
realized and final outcomes are delivered. We bring in huge
experience across industry verticals and geographies which make us
confident enough to put our neck into the stake when it comes to
achieving envisaged benefits and values.

are universal and adaptable to different environments.

than simply leverage technology; they
must use technology to enable constant
