Our Unique Process

Scout The Team

-What We Do Best-

We take the time to form genuine, meaningful relationships with every member of every team we are on, both professionally and as real people. This allows us to establish confidence as a group at the ground-level, and build upwards together.

Be Who We Really Are

-What Makes Us Different-

Once we know our teammates inside and out, we get right to work re-evaluating the current state of our organization, clearly defining what the team wants to achieve + how we’re going to get there. We then draft and implement a bespoke strategy based on your specific team’s identity, and execute dynamically while always sharing a laugh.

Achieve Our Goals

-What We Promise-

Unlike other consultants, we fight in the trenches alongside our clients until our shared goal is achieved. We believe that teams can achieve far beyond what they give themselves credit for, but in order to do so, they must first experience shared success at a high-level. We do our part to build them that team and show them that success, so that they can continue to achieve great things.

Establish A Legacy

-What We Care About-

Our belief in human beings and teams extends far beyond our clients and helping them achieve big dreams. We know that by setting incredible examples of successful teamwork around the world, we are slowly but surely helping show future generations a better way to work and to live together.

Once a teammate, always a teammate.

We put the Tapan in Tapan Consulting

Tapan Jani, the Founder and CEO of Tapan Consulting, is a versatile and dynamic leader with a passion for unearthing high-performing teams. Born in India and raised all around the world, Tapan brings a unique perspective and a deep understanding of different cultures to his work.

After obtaining a degree in Biology from the University of Illinois at Chicago, Tapan spent six and a half years at Amazon.com, working on a variety of teams and projects across different domains. He also had the opportunity to collaborate with a range of top-tier partners, from national credit card companies to single-named entertainment giants. Tapan's last role at Amazon was running the company's first-ever international employee volunteerism program, which reported directly to the current CEO, Andy Jassy.

In 2018, Tapan experienced a very unexpected "enlightenment" and — seemingly overnight — gained an entirely newfound appreciation for nature, the present moment, and observing and practicing authenticity in all its forms. He made the difficult decision to leave a career and a team that he loved in order to spend more time driving across the country and to follow personal passions like learning comedy. He studied at the world-renowned Second City, taking classes on scriptwriting, stand-up, storytelling, and satire. Tapan co-founded a satirical sports publication called Sports Riot, which quickly amassed over 60,000 followers, and co-hosted a podcast called Instead Of for 176 weekly episodes.

With Tapan Consulting, Tapan combines his diverse professional experience and his passion for fostering authentic, high-performing teams with his optimistic and deeply satirical sense of humor, always reminding anyone within earshot to “keep it real.” He uses a unique approach that combines empathy, understanding, laughter, and commitment to long-term relationships to help clients achieve their goals and create lasting change.
