About

Twenty years on the shop floor, not in a slide deck.

Avik Consultancy is a one-person practice by design: the person who scopes your work is the person who stands on your line.

Arpita Dwivedi — Founder & Principal Consultant

The founder

I spent two decades inside automotive and appliance manufacturing before going independent — first as a line quality engineer, then running quality assurance for a Tier-1 supplier serving Indian and Japanese OEMs. In that time I sat on both sides of the audit table: preparing plants for IATF 16949 surveillance, and auditing suppliers whose paperwork looked perfect while their process capability did not. That gap is what this practice exists to close. Since 2018 I have delivered 50+ audits and supported 30+ manufacturers through IATF, ISO and ZED certification, component costing estimation, third-party inspection and technical recruitment. I work directly with owners and plant heads, keep scope fixed and priced up front, and hand over systems your own team can run after I leave. No retainers, no ghost-written manuals, no surprises during the certification audit.

Methodology

Core Tools, applied on the shop floor

Go and see first

Every engagement opens with a line walk, not a document request. Findings are traced to the process that produced them.

Core Tools in context

APQP, PPAP, FMEA, MSA and SPC are taught on your own parts and data, so the team can repeat them unaided.

Evidence that survives audit

Records are built as the process runs, not reconstructed the week before the assessor arrives.

Reach

Ahmedabad base, PAN-India reach

Based in Ahmedabad, Gujarat, with regular on-site work across Sanand, Halol, Vadodara, Rajkot, Pune, Chennai and Gurugram, with remote and hybrid delivery for teams elsewhere in India and across South and Southeast Asia.
