Ma Foi Strategic Consultants is a global management consulting firm headquartered in Chennai;[1][5] offering Strategic Consulting, Research and Education services.

It was founded in 2012 as an evolution of the Ma Foi brand in India.[6]

History[edit | edit source]

Branding of Ma Foi : 1992 - 2012[edit | edit source]

The inception of the brand 'Ma Foi' (pronounced "Ma Fwa") was in 1992 as "Ma Foi Management Consultants Ltd",[3] a Chennai based HR service provider founded by K. Pandiarajan[7] to tap into opportunities arising out of the 1991 economic liberalization policies in India.

On choosing the French name, the founder commented in an interview - "We were targeting the international market. So, Ma Foi -- or My Word -- symbolized what we wanted to say and do."[8]

In 2004, Vedior NV, a Dutch head hunting firm acquired a majority stake in Ma Foi Management Consultants, to develop its business in South-East Asia and West Asia.[9] Three years later, Randstad Holding NV acquired the operations of Ma Foi, through its December 2007 US$5.14 billion acquisition of Vedior.[10][11] In April 2012, "Randstad India" replaced Ma Foi,[12] which by then had become a brand in the professional recruitment space.[13]

Evolution of Ma Foi Strategic Consultants: 2012 - till date[edit | edit source]

With Ma Foi, the founders gained a service spectrum that extended beyond recruitment[14] especially in strategic consultancy; and on 5 April 2012, they announced that brand Ma Foi would exit from HR consulting services with the launch of a new venture focusing on management consulting and education space - Ma Foi Strategic Consultants Pvt. Ltd.[1]

The venture will have investments of over INR 25 crore in the first three years.[2] The new company got into an agreement with Randstad for using the brand Ma Foi for three years. Eventually, the brand would be bought over, depending on the legal approvals.[5]

The company would set up two business management schools by 2013 end— in Chennai and Madurai. The eventual plan is to start a chain of management schools on a franchisee model.[1][2]

Organisation and operations[edit | edit source]

It is headquartered in Chennai, and employs over 50 employees. It is currently planning to acquire three to four companies and will open eight offices across the country.[1][2]

Marketing and branding[edit | edit source]

Ma Foi marketing campaigns have the slogan "From Managing People to Knowledge".

Services[edit | edit source]

The company is in three verticals,[1][2]

  • Management consulting
  • Research : Research and analytical organisation
  • Education : management education and professional development
