WOne Management Systems originated from an academic partnership of two professors, Sunil Maheshwari and Ramesh Bhat of IIM Ahmadabad, to help organizations in their transformation process and  in moving towards excellence. The name of the company signifies their close association with IIM Ahmadabad where, in Wing 1 along with other colleagues, they dreamt about setting up such a consultancy.  The company carries forward the legacy of learning and experimentation and Wing 1 association symbolizes the name of the company 'WOne'.

Their vision inspired Vinita Satija, a former research associate at IIMA, and two of their students Ishan Singhal and Ankit Jain to join them in their pursuit of transforming organizations.

Having worked with a large number of companies - national and multinational, public and private, manufacturing and service oriented, and big and small, the professors strongly felt the need to create a unique approach of helping organizations to strengthen themselves.  Years of work in the area of consulting revealed that while the reports presented were well received by organizations, companies generally struggle to get them implemented. In fact, many a times, managements do not anticipate and understand the capacity and competencies of their people or effectiveness of their systems or required know-how to implement and execute them. This observation brought out clearly the need to do a little something extra…to go a step beyond the normal consulting job of analyzing systems and preparing reports to helping organizations implement the various suggestions emanating from in-depth analysis and research.
