In an era defined by rapid digitalization,
global enterprise restructuring and the rise of AI-driven operating models, Dr.
Narendra Pratap Singh Tomar has emerged as one of the most respected
transformation thinkers of his time. Popularly known as Dr. Narendra Tomar or
NPS Tomar, he is an Indian-origin global strategist, CXO advisor and Founder
and Managing Director of Marshall Ridge Consulting Ltd in the United Kingdom.
With more than twenty years of international experience, he has shaped
transformation outcomes for global conglomerates, Fortune-tier enterprises and
next-generation Global Capability Centers across India, the UK, the Middle East
and APAC.
Early Life and Formative Values
Born and raised in India and currently based
in Mumbai, Dr. Tomar attributes his leadership foundation to the values
instilled by his parents, Bharat Singh Tomar and Alakhnandini Singh Tomar.
Their emphasis on discipline, clarity of thought, structural balance and
emotional grounding played a defining role in shaping his worldview.
From an early age, he displayed a keen
interest in understanding how systems work — whether organisational structures,
technology frameworks or behavioural patterns. This natural inclination toward
logic, governance and problem-solving led him to pursue a career that would
unite technology with strategic leadership.
A Two-Decade Global Career
Dr. Tomar began his professional journey in
2006 and has since worked across multiple continents, contributing to some of
the most respected institutions and consulting firms in the world. His
experience spans leadership and transformation roles at HSBC, IBM, PwC India,
QualityKiosk Technologies, Resmera Solutions and the UK-based Topaz Group,
where he contributed as Co-Founder.
Across these assignments, he led enterprise-scale
programs in banking, financial services, retail, technology and consumer
industries. His work involved building high-performing global teams, driving
cross-border transformation initiatives and modernising enterprise operations.
Over two decades, he has directly contributed to transformation programs valued
at more than 500 million USD, making him a rare strategist who combines
high-level foresight with hands-on execution.
Establishing Marshall Ridge Consulting (UK)
The creation of Marshall Ridge Consulting Ltd
in the UK was a culmination of Dr. Tomar’s strategic vision for the future of
advisory services. He observed that organisations no longer benefit from
traditional, layered consulting structures. Instead, they require strategic
partners who offer clarity, speed of execution and measurable impact.
Marshall Ridge Consulting was built on three
pillars: perspective, precision and performance. The firm focuses on enterprise
transformation, GCC strategy and scaling, AI-led modernisation, digital and
technology uplift, leadership advisory, M&A readiness and operating model
redesign. Despite being a bootstrapped venture, it rapidly built international
credibility, working with clients across the UK, Middle East, India and APAC.
Its agile, senior-led and non-bureaucratic approach differentiates it from
conventional consulting houses.
The firm operates from its UK office located
at 27–37 Station Road, Hayes, UB3 4DX, England, and continues to expand its
international presence.
Leadership Philosophy and Strategic Influence
Dr. Tomar is known for advising CXOs, boards,
founders and GCC leaders on high-stakes decisions that shape the future of
their organisations. His guidance often focuses on enterprise AI operating
models, digital acceleration strategies, multi-country governance structures,
cybersecurity modernisation, organisational maturity, innovation ecosystems and
future-of-work readiness.
His leadership philosophy is rooted in
structured thinking, ethical governance and the belief that the next generation
of leaders must integrate human intelligence with technological intelligence.
Dr. Tomar emphasises purpose-driven progress, emotional stability and
clarity-driven decision-making as critical attributes of leadership in the AI
era.
Awards, Recognition and Global Appointments
Dr. Tomar’s contributions to global
transformation and governance have been recognised through several honours. He
received the Indian Achievers' Award for Excellence in the Banking and
Financial Sector in 2024, acknowledging his influence on enterprise technology
and transformation. He served as a judge at the Asia Pacific Software Testing
Awards 2024, recognising excellence in global software quality.
He is also a member of the World Human Rights
Protection Commission and holds an Honorary Doctorate from the same
institution. His professional credentials include an Independent Director
certification from IICA and a Global CXO certification from CXO Hive.
Author of Two Transformative Books
Beyond his advisory work, Dr. Tomar is an
author whose writing focuses on redefining leadership, wealth, purpose and the
future of digital organisations. His published book, The Life
Capitalist, reimagines the meaning of wealth through emotional strength,
conscious living, societal responsibility and personal purpose. It encourages
individuals to pursue balance, legacy and meaningful success.
His second book, Digital Renaissance:
The Executive’s Handbook to Transformative Leadership, offers a
comprehensive leadership roadmap for CXOs transitioning from traditional
management models to AI-driven organisational structures. It includes
frameworks, case studies and governance models designed for executive readiness
in the 5.0 era of leadership.
Together, these works reflect his mission to
inspire both personal and organisational transformation.
Vision for the Future
Dr. Tomar’s long-term vision is to build
Marshall Ridge Consulting into one of the world’s most trusted transformation
and strategy firms. His focus includes expanding operations across Europe, the
Middle East and the United States, launching a leadership excellence community
known as CXO Factory, advancing responsible AI adoption and helping
organisations build digital-first operating models that are both scalable and
sustainable.
He aims to develop global consulting standards
rooted in clarity, precision and impact — redefining what strategic advisory
should look like in the next decade.
