On 5th October 2024, Eha Management Consultancy completes 15 years. The best way to celebrate is to work 🙂

Eha team got an opportunity to connect with varied domains this year. We were happy that our interactions through talks, blogs, articles, advice, webinars, workshops were beneficial to all the participants.

It is said that learning is a continuous journey, so it is for Eha also. To keep pace with the changes and technological advances we also participated in various events. This would definitely be useful to our prospective connects in the coming years.

Also taking this opportunity to thank family, friends, clients, suppliers, team members and all those who have been part of the journey directly or indirectly.
