About Claycan
Home / who we are / About

The term "Claycan" has evolved from two words 'Clay' and 'Can'. 'Clay' has been derived from the universal belief that humans are made of clay and the term 'Can' depicts the attitude of doing everything that a human brain can perceive. The term claycan thus articulates a positive spirit with a Can Do Attitude.
Conceived on 5th February 2011, Claycan was founded as a Performance & Growth Consulting Company with a special focus on SMEs—the backbone of the Indian economy. We believe that only when SMEs grow, the nation develops, and our mission is to help them unlock their true potential through strategic guidance, human capital optimization, and business transformation.
In today’s competitive landscape, people are no longer just a cost center—they are business enablers. A company’s biggest investment and differentiator is its human capital, and when nurtured effectively, it drives sustainable growth. SMEs have flexibility and agility that large corporations often lack, but this advantage needs direction and strategy to translate into meaningful success.
At Claycan, we harness this dormant potential in the SME sector, guiding them to become game changers in their industry. Through expert consulting, innovative problem-solving, and hands-on execution support, we ensure that SMEs don’t just survive but thrive.
We don’t just offer advice—we help execute. Our experience in turning around underperforming SMEs into high-growth businesses speaks for itself, validated by the success stories & testimonials of our hard-earned and happy clients. From leadership development to organizational restructuring, we have enabled SMEs to scale, enhance efficiency, and create value for stakeholders.
Claycan stands for integrity, accountability, and neutrality. We believe that good corporate governance is at the heart of sustainable business growth, and we help our clients adopt best practices while maintaining independence and unbiased decision-making.
Our goal is clear—to be the cartographers of SME growth, creating roadmaps that lead to success. Let’s build a future where SMEs are not just contributors but key drivers of economic progress.
As we move forward, our next strategic milestone is to expand our impact globally by collaborating and forming ventures with leading international consulting firms that share our vision. By bringing together global expertise and localized insights, we aim to create a synergistic ecosystem that provides SMEs with world-class strategies, innovative solutions, and transformational growth opportunities.
