    Our Methodology

    The traditional business model did not value the sustainability of the planet or the treatment of other stakeholders.

    At Purpose with Profit (PwP), we have developed our own methodology to measure business success based on Purpose, People, Planet strategies as well as Profit. We have a hidden strategy called Precision as well. Together, they are 5P's. These strategies map to Purpose + Profit + ESG (Environment, Social, & Governance).

    The rise of the conscious citizen means that these additional pillars will enable your business to grow into the future and outshine a crowded marketplace.

    Many impact businesses fail to secure their Profit drivers before expansion, limiting their growth, and risking their business. On the other hand, some focus on profit, and their real purpose is hidden behind the scenes.

    PwP is led by Bob Sudharshan Ratnarajah, a transdisciplinary guide with over 20 years of experience in business strategy and 15 years of building tribes.

  • The Purpose With Profit™ Approach

    Our proven methodology helps impact businesses break through the purpose ceiling by balancing five essential pillars:

    Purpose

    More than just a mission statement - why do you exist? A framework for aligning your business with meaningful impact that resonates with employees, suppliers, customers, and investors alike.

    People

    Going beyond basic HR practices to create genuine engagement with staff, customers, and communities - turning them into passionate advocates.

    Planet

    Implementing cost-effective environmental practices that demonstrate an authentic commitment to sustainability and unlock access to impact capital.

    Profit

    Strategic business growth that funds your purpose without compromise, breaking through the"purpose ceiling" with tailored financial models.

    Precision

    Expertly implementing all elements with alignment, consistency and strategic focus - the "secret sauce" for successful scaling.
