About Us
Vision
We believe business as a force for good will come about when we balance people, planet and profit - creating system change!
We call this the Purpose WIth Profit approach.
Mission
We exist to enable impact businesses to scale profitably.
To enable impact leaders to enjoy their success.
Enable impact intermediaries to build stronger networks.
Purpose with Profit (PwP) works with all impact businesses to grow the purpose-led economy. By identifying and closing strategic gaps, we accelerate business growth, enabling purpose-led brands to stand out in the marketplace and become category leaders.
We also work with leaders and founders who want to disrupt their sector by introducing Purpose With Profit approaches.
This creates long-term value and de-risks the business.
Our Methodology
The traditional business model did not value the sustainability of the planet or the treatment of other stakeholders.
At Purpose with Profit (PwP), we have developed our own methodology to measure business success based on Purpose, People, Planet strategies as well as Profit. We have a hidden strategy called Precision as well. Together, they are 5P's. These strategies map to Purpose + Profit + ESG (Environment, Social, & Governance).
The rise of the conscious citizen means that these additional pillars will enable your business to grow into the future and outshine a crowded marketplace.
Many impact businesses fail to secure their Profit drivers before expansion, limiting their growth, and risking their business. On the other hand, some focus on profit, and their real purpose is hidden behind the scenes.
PwP is led by Bob Sudharshan Ratnarajah, a multidisciplinary guide, with over 20 years of experience in business strategy and 15 years of building tribes.
