    The Future of Consulting Starts Here | S1E1

    In this launch episode of Alt-Consulting Conversations, Utsav Bhatt explores a pivotal question: if we were building a consulting firm from scratch in an AI-enabled world, would we design it the same way? Drawing on nearly two decades in strategy consulting and his experience building StratOff as a strategy co-pilot firm, Utsav reflects on how shifts in technology change the underlying source of advantage in an industry. As AI compresses analysis timelines and challenges traditional leverage models, sharper questions are emerging about value, structure, and economics. This episode introduces the core ideas behind Alt-Consulting and sets the stage for conversations with consulting leaders, founders, and academics on what comes next for advisory work. New episodes drop every Wednesday.
