About
Built by an operator. For operators.
Altius is not a consultancy. It is the operational answer to a problem its founder spent three decades watching foreign companies fail at.
Founder
Three decades of operating between India and France.
Pradip Solanki built Altius on the back of a 35-year operating career in the pharmaceutical and FMCG industries — first in India, then leading a French subsidiary of an Indian group, and eventually running it as President. The relevance to Altius is direct: every service the company sells, he has personally executed for someone else first.

Why Altius Exists
A note from the founder.
I spent more than three decades running operations between India and France. I watched dozens of capable, well-funded international companies stall in Europe. Not for lack of product. Not for lack of demand. For lack of an operator on the ground.
They were spending months coordinating six providers. They were chasing French paperwork from Mumbai and Dubai. They were paying for advice when what they needed was someone to run the backend.
Altius is the company I wish those founders had. One partner. One contract. One invoice. The legal, the warehouse, the fulfillment, the accounting. Operated, not advised.
Values
Three things we will not compromise on.
01
Execution
We do the work. We do not write recommendations and disappear.
02
Clarity
One contract. One invoice. One point of contact. No surprises.
03
Accountability
We own the outcome. The buck stops with us.
