In a world increasingly defined by disruption, rapid transformation, and the need for sustainable, human-centric solutions, few individuals embody the spirit of purposeful entrepreneurship like MD Vanjani, the Founder and Chairman of Synergy Plus Business Consulting Group (SPBCG). From a modest investment of ₹25 lakhs to commanding a turnover in the eight-figure range, Vanjani’s journey from boardrooms in Singapore and the UK to building a thriving business in India is a story of strategic reinvention, leadership, and relentless pursuit of excellence.
At 71, with over 46 years of rich professional experience behind him—including two decades as a global CEO—Vanjani proves that age is never a constraint when vision and determination are uncompromised. As the head of a company that now supports multiple industries across India, his journey is not just a business success story, but a blueprint for nation-building through enterprise.
Foundations of a Dream: Early Life & Academic Brilliance
Vanjani’s success did not emerge overnight—it was rooted in a foundation built on academic brilliance and all-round excellence. He graduated from Shri Ram College of Commerce (SRCC) with a B.Com. (Hons.), where he not only excelled in academics but also distinguished himself in sports, arts, and public speaking. He earned accolades across disciplines and cleared both Chartered Accountancy and Company Secretary exams in record time.
This diverse and rigorous background laid the groundwork for his future leadership style: multidimensional, performance-oriented, and human-focused. Over the decades, Vanjani cultivated a nuanced understanding of global business environments, holding leadership positions across sectors in Singapore and the UK, before choosing to redirect his experience back into India’s growth story.
The Leap of Faith: Founding SPBCG
In April 2014, at the age of 59, Vanjani made a bold move that would redefine his life’s trajectory. Fueled by a desire to contribute meaningfully to society and build a legacy beyond titles, he founded Synergy Plus Business Consulting Group. With headquarters in DLF City, Gurgaon, SPBCG was envisioned as a one-stop consulting powerhouse for recruitment, HR solutions, and strategic management services.
The company started with a clear mission: to act as a bridge between qualified job seekers and organizations seeking top-tier talent, while also providing strategic business advisory services that could catalyze growth for both domestic and multinational clients.
In his words: “I wanted to give back—by transforming businesses and transforming lives. The corporate experience I gathered globally was a tool, but my purpose was local and deeply human.”

In a space often dominated by the Big Four and traditional players, SPBCG carved out a distinct identity. What sets the company apart?
- Client-Centricity: Unlike bureaucratic large firms, SPBCG’s boutique model ensures customization, responsiveness, and empathy in client engagement.

Serving Society While Building Business
For Vanjani, entrepreneurship was never just about profit—it was about purpose. He realized early on that unemployment and underemployment plagued India’s workforce, even among the educated. Through SPBCG, he sought to change that narrative.
By identifying the right talent for the right roles, SPBCG has enabled thousands of professionals to find meaningful employment, while helping companies reduce attrition and build high-performing teams.
Their recent expansion into Dharuhera, Haryana, from a sprawling 10,000 sq. ft. office, is a testament to this vision. This branch serves manufacturing units, offering end-to-end services—from staffing and HR to statutory compliance and industrial consulting—under one roof. The model has been wildly successful, especially among MNCs and high-growth domestic companies.
Recognitions and Accolades
SPBCG’s impact hasn’t gone unnoticed. In the last year alone, the company has been:

Such accolades reflect not only business performance but also integrity, innovation, and impact—the pillars upon which SPBCG stands.
Overcoming Adversity: Challenges and Triumphs
Like any entrepreneurial journey, Vanjani’s path was riddled with challenges:
- Competing with Industry Giants: Entering a saturated space meant SPBCG had to prove itself through cost-efficiency and relationship-driven service.
- Building a Skilled Team: Attracting and retaining top talent required cultivating a culture of mentorship, trust, and lifelong learning.
- Navigating Business Cycles: From market downturns to regulatory shifts, the company’s ability to adapt has been crucial in maintaining momentum.
Through every difficulty, Vanjani remained grounded. “True leadership is tested when the odds are stacked against you,” he notes. “The key is to remain resilient, humble, and focused on the long game.”
Leadership Lessons and Entrepreneurial Wisdom
Vanjani’s leadership philosophy is deeply introspective and values-based. He believes the real test of an entrepreneur lies in character—not charisma.
His advice for aspiring entrepreneurs is both inspirational and practical:
- Believe in yourself, your country, and your higher purpose.
- Don’t compete with others—compete with the version of yourself from yesterday.
- Adopt technology early. Learn continuously.
- Stay humble—success is a responsibility, not a status.
He emphasizes that age is not a barrier. In fact, his decision to start a business at 59 stands as a beacon of hope for those who think it’s too late to chase their dreams.
Future Outlook: 2047 and Beyond
Looking ahead, Vanjani envisions SPBCG as a catalyst in India’s transformation into a developed economy by 2047. The company aims to achieve 30–40% year-on-year growth, with plans to scale into tier-2 cities, deepen technological integration, and expand internationally.
He is especially keen on leveraging the AI revolution to further optimize recruitment and consulting processes, keeping the firm ahead of the curve in both capability and credibility.
“We are not just building a company. We are building a legacy,” he says. “One where hard work meets wisdom, and business success translates into national progress.”
Legacy Beyond Numbers
Today, SPBCG is not just a thriving business—it is a movement. A movement that empowers women in the workforce, uplifts unemployed professionals, and transforms companies with insight-driven strategies.
Vanjani’s story is proof that entrepreneurship, when driven by purpose and perseverance, becomes a force for social good. His life and work stand as a guiding light for India’s next generation of business leaders, showing that success isn’t just about numbers—it’s about impact, integrity, and inspiration.
