Himanshu is one of the most humble, talented and sharp minded person I have met, who not only encourages to challenge one's own capability but also how to patiently and diligently work on improvising the skills, knowledge and problem-solving ability of the teams. From being managers to becoming effective leaders is the transformation our organisation is experiencing under his guidance.

He well understands the journey and challenges of an SME and how to navigate them and work on the MINDSET of the people, and for us that is converting into tangible results as well.

If any organisation look forward for continuous problem-solving, process improvement and creating good leaders in your team, with Himanshu, you are in the right hands provided you are also willing to take the pain, as he can only show us the way.

I first engaged with Himanshu professionally in 2017 and have worked closely with him ever since on the continuous improvement of DVL, a manufacturing company within the Alsico Group.

The highlight of our collaboration came in November 2024, when we travelled together with our team to Japan to study the Toyota Way under the guidance of Katie Anderson. That experience was a turning point, but in truth, the transformation had been underway for years.

Himanshu helped lift our company from being an industry-average performer to an industry leader in the field of industrial workwear manufacturing. Early on, he helped us define who we are and what we stand for. Through his unique and engaging communication style, he enabled and empowered the workforce—no mean feat in a factory where seven native languages are spoken.

One of the most significant shifts Himanshu guided us through was focusing on leading metrics rather than lagging indicators. He urged us to look past financial notepad figures and instead focus on factors like attendance, recruitment, and first-time-right performance. “The rest will fall into place,” he told me—and it did.

The results speak for themselves:

§Sustained double-digit profit every year since 2017

§20% year-on-year profit growth

§Throughput time reduced from 28 days to just 4.5 days

§Factory expansion from 21 to 33 production lines

§Returns dropped from 5% to 0.7%

§Consistently ranked highest among suppliers since 2018

Himanshu introduced us to a structured system of total employee involvement by sharing information transparently across the organisation. This gave rise to a relentless PDCA (Plan-Do-Check-Act) cycle and created a culture of continuous improvement at all levels.

At the beginning of 2020, in the height of COVID-19 and factory lockdowns, I told my shareholders I would do everything I could to “defend zero”—to avoid loss. With the support of Himanshu and the Improvex team, 2020 became our strongest year since inception.

Himanshu demystified the lean journey and set us on a path that is now irreversible. He showed us that success is achieved through total employee involvement.

As the founder and chairman of DVL, I am forever grateful to have met an extraordinary teacher.

We are delighted to have been part of your successful journey.

We have benefited immensely from your “people centric” approach to change management and lean implementation. The effort you put in building a strong base with a change and learning mindset ensured total commitment from shop floor to senior leadership.  

We have seen significant sustainable benefits (both tangible and intangible) in our projects under Improvex.

All the best and looking forward to our future engagements for continuous improvement.

Our company had the opportunity to work closely with Improvex during our comprehensive Lean Excellence transformation project. Their team brought an exceptional level of professionalism, domain knowledge, and hands-on expertise that made a real difference to our operations.

Within a short span, we observed measurable improvements in productivity, quality rates, lead time reduction, and inventory accuracy, all contributing to greater customer satisfaction and business agility. Their commitment to continuous improvement and ability to bridge strategy with on-the-ground execution truly differentiates them.

We highly recommend Improvex to any organization looking to drive meaningful change and achieve world-class standards in manufacturing and supply chain management
