Most organisations manage performance.
I design for it.
I help founders and leaders design organisations where people perform willingly — not because they have to, but because the conditions make them want to.
Growth stalls when the performance architecture can't keep up. That's the problem I solve.
I'm Naga Siddharth, based in Bengaluru. I work with founders and CEOs navigating growth — building the people architecture that turns business strategy into results across talent, incentives, leadership, and performance culture.
I am the author of Leap! Unlocking Performance — "Doing more, willingly" — a performance design framework built on original research across 450+ managers, combining neuroscience, Indic wisdom, and two decades of field experience.
SHRP — Strategic HR Practice — is how I work.
Some of the business results that I have helped companies achieve across my corporate and consulting career

Growth of top line from $20 mn ARR to 200 mn ARR of a Real Estate company.
Scaling an EdTech company from 150 employees to 6500 employees over six months, growing to become a unicorn.
Rocket scaling revenues of a SaaS company from $200k ARR to $1mn ARR over 12 months in the Middle East market.
"Naga is a combination of a corporate anthropologist who observes companies, sociologist who see systems, psychologist who helps individuals, and economist who delivers economic outcomes."
"When he works to improve organizations, he has a vast array of insights, tools, and actions ranging from leadership actions (experience creators, neurology of leadership) to HR practices (staffing, training, performance management) to organization capabilities (analytics, strategic clarity, culture, and agility)."

in his foreword to the book Leap! Unlocking Performance
Have you always felt that there has been a better way to achieve performance in the organisation? Like, beyond the usual motivation and rewards, the carrot and stick, the reviews and the promotions? This book holds the answers to those questions and more.
This book generously shares the science, the art and the thinking that goes into unlocking performance at every employee’s level. So that, you get a company where every individual wants to “do more, willingly”.
Backed by research, insights, practice and experience, this book is written in an easy, conversational and tongue in cheek style that removes the drudgery from this very deep topic.
Makes it fun.
