Building and growing a business is no longer about working the hardest but being the smartest and fastest. As technology revolutionizes industries and customers become more demanding, businesses need to build scalable systems, change their mindsets, and ensure that their growth is in line with their purpose. Amit P Nahar (APN), a multi award winning Business Design Coach and Management Consultant has been helping MSME entrepreneurs and enterprises in designing, automating and accelerating their businesses.
APN is a Chartered Accountant (CA), a Master of Financial Management (MFM), and a Certified Management Consultant (CMC). The combination of these qualifications and his entrepreneurial experience in building and scaling multiple 7 - 9 figure businesses have given him the ability to understand the details of business operations, financial control, and strategic planning. For more than 22 years, APN has empowered thousands of MSME entrepreneurs through his proven ‘Business by Design’ system which is unlike any other business scaling methodology. It is a transformational framework that combines mindset, strategy, and automation to enable exponential growth. Coaching is just a part of the experience with APN; indeed, he partners with the business in its journey of success.
Mastering Mindset Shifts: The Foundation of Breakthrough Success
APN believes that “business breakthroughs don’t begin with a strategy; they begin with mindset.” He believes that 80 percent is the mindset and only 20 percent is strategy and execution. Scaling a business is often about dropping the limiting beliefs that entrepreneurs usually hold on to. He has been able to help many entrepreneurs unlock their true potential by identifying and shifting these mental blocks.
He gives an example of an entrepreneur who was reluctant to increase prices, fearing that with higher costs, customers would leave. APN changed his lens of thinking from ‘taking money from customers’ to ‘delivering immense value at the right price’. The result was a significant boost in revenue and client respect. According to APN, “The way you think determines the actions you take, and therefore the results you achieve. When you reframe your thoughts, you will transform your actions and ultimately your results.”
He is a game changer, transforming scarcity mindsets into abundant thinking and driving implementation strategies that scale across more than 200 business categories. Under his guidance, entrepreneurs learn to effectively leverage time, money, technology and media, recognizing that money, resources and authority are not constraints to be feared but assets to be multiplied. APN explains that the biggest shift is the realization that the growth does not depend on holding on to things but giving more, serving more, and creating more impact.
Automating for Scalability: Working Smarter, Not Harder
In this fast-developing business world, automation is not a luxury but a necessity. “If you want to grow, you must let go,” APN’s philosophy is clear. He encourages entrepreneurs to focus on strategic activities that really drive growth. “We should adopt automation not to replace people, but to amplify human potential by freeing people up for strategy and leadership,” he adds.
APN recommends a simple and powerful formula, “Anything repetitive should be automated.” His coaching helps business owners stay focused on those things that only they can do and automate or delegate the rest. This approach not only improves the efficiency but also the consistency and scalability. Automation of marketing, sales, operations and customer management will ensure that entrepreneurs’ businesses keep running even in their absence.
His core advice for MSME entrepreneurs is to "think big, start small, scale smartly, and act now." Whether it is a task management tool, goals and performance management system or a customer relationship management (CRM) platform, integrating technology gradually will have a huge impact. “Automation is not about getting rid of people. It is about improving the value that you bring to your customers and your team,” he says.

Balancing Structure and Flexibility: Thriving in an Ever-Changing Market
A unique ability of APN is assisting business owners in finding a balance between structure and flexibility which has become the key to thriving in today’s dynamic market. According to him, “You should have a rock-solid foundation, but fluid strategies.” Most entrepreneurs get stuck in their ways and stick to the obsolete processes that no longer create results. APN teaches them that extraordinary results warrant extraordinary routines.
APN emphasizes that transition points must be used to reinvent strategies. He advises entrepreneurs, however, to be conscious during stagnation. “If your business ceases to grow, you need to change your game. The key is to know when to pivot and how to adapt,” he adds. His Business by Design system equips business owners with proven frameworks, models, and tools to build a solid foundation while staying agile enough to pivot whenever necessary.
APN believes that structure gives stability, while flexibility leads to growth. This is what has enabled him to help countless entrepreneurs have a smooth transition through different business cycles, while still growing at a consistent rate without sacrificing innovation.
Creating Purpose-Driven Businesses: Scaling for Impact
For APN, business success is simply not about the turnover or profit margins. In recent times, he has noticed a tremendous change in the thinking of modern entrepreneurs that is no longer about financial gains alone, but also about making a difference. He appreciates their realization that money is just the byproduct of the value they generate and the lives they transform.
He urges business owners to align their businesses with a higher purpose and keep their purpose at the core. He explains, “When you focus on solving real problems and making real value for your customers, success is bound to happen.” Purpose-driven businesses, according to him, are meant to attract loyal customers and also create resilient ecosystems that stand the test of time.
APN’s champions a powerful guiding principle: “Scale for impact, not just for growth”. By helping business owners stay true to their deeper purpose, APN fuels not only strategic expansion but also genuine, lasting transformation.
