Komal Gupta, a former business journalist and policy advisor with leadership experience in corporate communications, has launched a strategic consultancy, Konsult Komal, focused on policy alignment, governance strategy, and institutional reputation.
Konsult Komal is structured as a boutique advisory offering strategic counsel to institutions, regulatory-facing organisations, and leadership teams. Its focus lies in helping clients navigate the complex intersections of policy, boardroom preparedness, and reputational strategy.
“As an economist, journalist, and strategic advisor, I’ve seen how institutions — public and private — often approach policy, research, and communication in silos. Konsult Komal was created to change that. We work as knowledge partners, offering research-backed, forward-looking strategies that connect policy thinking with brand positioning and narrative clarity, with the larger goal of enabling meaningful, outcome-driven work,” said Komal Gupta, Founder and Principal Consultant, Konsult Komal.
Over the past decade, she has worked at the intersection of journalism, regulatory advocacy, and strategic communication. She began her career reporting on the economy, fintech, and insolvency at Mint and Hindustan Times, later joining NASSCOM to lead regulatory engagement for the fintech sector. She has also advised clients on brand strategy and public positioning during her time at Adfactors PR, and most recently served as Vice President, Marketing & Communications at Sarvatra Technologies, where she led narrative development and institutional visibility efforts.
Gupta holds an MSc in Financial Economics from the Gokhale Institute of Politics and Economics and is a certified Independent Director under the Indian Institute of Corporate Affairs (IICA), Ministry of Corporate Affairs. She has also contributed to several policy research papers and sectoral consultations.
