I spent 4 years working for Walgreens Boots Alliance, and during my time there as a global Vice President, managing the global healthcare innovation and Boots brands business, I had the pleasure of working with Asbiverse. At the time, we were facing significant performance issues due to the complexity of our portfolio in the UK, and needed help for various Category Management projects at Boots. After agreeing on a clear brief, Asbiverse’s team took to the task. I was impressed with the thought, rigour, experience and enterprise they brought to the project. The fact that they have in-house practically all aspects of the services we needed, for example Design, Analytics, Research etc supporting their Consultancy and Advisory function really helped. They delivered high quality work, in line with the agreed timelines, and helped us a lot translating the output to in-store execution and sales growth. I wish them all the best, and hope to work with them again in the future.

Ankur and team have done a splendid job of tailoring this virtual learning program to Kellogg’s needs and participant skill levels. As the Sales HR Partner, I have seen participants employ the concepts learnt- with great results. The Asbiverse team helped the participants discuss, debate and land on several takeaways they could apply to their current business situations. Ankur is refreshingly streetwise with a pragmatic business focus and based his coaching on actual sales and management experience. He is also an excellent facilitator and helped participants address many of their business situation challenges. We are impressed with Ankur’s sales coaching methodologies on sales approach, exposure to communication skills, sales fundamentals, etc. which has helped sharpen our team’s thinking.
