Monower Ahmed, during the tenure of his professional career as an HR Specialist, identified the societal need for specialized service to the business community in HR and Management areas. On retirement and after some reflection, he felt that the time was right for actively getting involved in the processes of development of management skills in the country and this was only possible by sharing his extensive practical experiences and knowledge gained over the years, with the new generation of managers. With this in view, a multidisciplinary consulting house was set up in 1994 under the name of MRK Consultants. Later in 1999, the firm’s name changed to Monower Associates. With time, Monower Associates has earned reputation for its professional and high quality services. About the Consultants:
