Zapro Consultants

What’s in the Name?

Well, a lot.

Hence before naming this as ZAPRO here is what we pondered over.

Your organisation goal is to reach the zenith of productivity, that’s Z. We all have a beginning, which means starting from A. Finally, we are looking at the growing your productivity from the beginning to the zenith, hence PRO.

That’s how the ZAPRO Consultants was born, to build productivity mindset for your organisation, one step at a time.

𝑽𝒊𝒔𝒊𝒐𝒏:
Our vision is to bring in productivity mindset for the organisations and individuals, where efficiency and effectiveness are at equilibrium.

𝑴𝒊𝒔𝒔𝒊𝒐𝒏:
At Zapro Consultants, we are committed and hands-on in implementing the DIVE strategy for building a productivity mindset, creating autonomous work culture.

𝑶𝒖𝒓 𝒂𝒑𝒑𝒓𝒐𝒂𝒄𝒉:
We begin with a goal in mind, and we help you stay focused.
We work with clients to create a concrete, achievable vision ‘the zenith’, then analyse the current state, which is the beginning of this transformative journey, and finally provide professional services to improve and enhance your organisation’s productivity mindset.

The most critical factor influencing an organisation’s success is “productivity mindset”.
Do you know that when you think activity equals productivity, you are getting trapped like 83% of organisations who are being busy yet achieving little!

Let’s focus on building a productivity mindset instead.

Only A focused mind can access conscious and unconscious resources than a busy mind.

In 2018 I, stumbled upon Anna McAfee's concept of #LinkedInLocal, a global initiative that breathed life into the virtual connections fostered on LinkedIn, transforming them into real-world relationships through not-for-profit meetups. Enchanted by the idea of enabling meaningful connections beyond screens, I embarked on a transformative journey that would culminate in the birth of the LinkedIn Local Hyderabad community.

Anna McAfee's brainchild encapsulated three core value that resonated deeply with Sagar and laid the cornerstone for his endeavour:

1. People Are Worth Meeting
2. Stories Are Worth Sharing
3. Collaboration not competition

From Oct 2018 to August 2022, Sagar's commitment bore remarkable fruit:

1800 Attendees

45 Speakers

7 Facilitators

Curated 9 Theme-based Events, along with the food being served also aligned to the theme.

The community embraced its social responsibility, contributing to an orphanage and channelling the power of unity to nurture business partnerships.

The spotlight shone on four startups, providing them a stage to unveil their dreams and innovations before a receptive audience.

Two speakers emerged as global professionals, harnessing the platform to share their expertise on international stages.

The Hyderabad chapter etched its name in the annals of global recognition, reaching the prestigious Hall of Fame at Level 3.

The community's impact reached far beyond networking, as it donated approximately INR 1,50,000/-, serving as a beacon of positive change.

As the journey continued, Sagar's relocation to Vadodara marked a transition in leadership. The LinkedIn Local Hyderabad community was handed over to a capable core team based in the city, a testament to the legacy he had meticulously crafted.

Having a productive mindset helps in personal and professional career growth. As the founder of Zapro Consultants, I work with individuals & organisations to build a productivity mindset.

A productivity Mindset is when you utilise the available resources to achieve your focused goals/dreams by setting priorities and standardising processes.

Building the team with the right mindset helps the organisation create the proper infrastructure, establish the right system, standardise the process with their 100% focus on the set goals, and learn the art of saying no.

Sagar Amlani

During one of our weekly calls, a Managing #Director of a family-owned business shared something with me that he said very quietly.

He said, “Sagar… I feel tired all the time. But I don’t know how to slow down.
I can’t stop.”

It wasn’t a complaint or coming out of  frustration.
It was just the truth coming out as I was listening to him giving him the space he needed.

He continued, “Even on days when my body feels like shutting down, my mind keeps pushing. There’s always something pending. Someone waiting to meet me, or something urgent that needs my attention."

Then he paused and said a line that stayed with me “Rest feels like a risk.”

I asked him gently, “What scares you about slowing down?”

He took a moment and said,

“Maybe I’m scared that if I stop, "I will realise how exhausted I really am.”

That one line explained everything.

Most people aren’t scared of slowing down. They’re scared of what slowing down will show them.

That’s FOFO: Fear of Finding Out.
Fear of finding out the body is tired.
Fear of finding out the mind is overloaded.
Fear of finding out the pace is unsustainable.
Fear of finding out that something inside needs attention.

I told him, “Working fast is not the problem. Working without #alignment is.
Fatigue is not always from effort, sometimes it comes from running on empty for too long.”

He nodded quietly. 

A slow nod the kind that comes when truth finally lands.

So many leaders are not tired because they are weak. They are tired because they are afraid to pause long enough to see the truth their body already knows.

The body accepts reality, signals you to understand it, long before the mind is ready to face it.

This is why I created The Productive Mindset to help people slow down without fear, face what’s real, and build a pace that supports their life,
instead of draining it. 

Bring in the alignment to live a fulfilled life.

If this feels familiar, you know where to find me.

Global Keynote Speaker (Top 10 India) | Transforming Productivity from Fear to Fulfilment | Author & Thought Leader on The Productive Mindset & Power of AIM | LinkedIn Top Voice

Every Tuesday, I share something we all feel at work but rarely say out loud. 
I call it, “Unspoken.”

The office looks busy.
Lights stay on late.
People are on their systems.

The ones who leave on time look guilty.
The ones who stay late look “committed.”

We clap for stretched hours.
We praise sacrifice.
We call exhaustion dedication.

Somewhere, staying longer became more important than doing better.
Time replaced impact.
Presence replaced performance.

And yet, no one asks a quiet question sitting inside many minds: “If long hours show loyalty, what shows alignment?”

This is the part no one ever says out loud.

A 2025 MRI study of workers compared those working more than 52 hours a week with those working fewer hours and found structural changes in 17 brain regions connected to decision-making, memory, attention and emotional regulation.

Fear stretches hours. #Alignment works for purpose.
The Productive Mindset

The Productive Mindset bring alignment, Sagar Amlani, The Productive Mindset

When on a stage, my intention is clear to expand the way leaders think, decide, and create.

At the Business Excellence & Innovation Summit 2025, I shared a perspective that always elevates performance: #Innovation thrives in a mind filled with clarity, courage, and inner alignment.

Excellence emerges when intention and action move together.

Across industries, I’ve seen a powerful pattern: when leaders tune into their inner strengths, energy rises, ideas flow, and teams move with purpose.

This is the core of The Productive Mindset a shift toward awareness, meaningful action, and inspired momentum to experience alignment and fulfilment.

On stage, my work focuses on creating that shift:
🔹 Awareness that sharpens thinking
🔹 Clarity that guides decisions
🔹 Alignment that strengthens #leadership presence
🔹 Momentum that transforms results

The most rewarding moment for me is the silence in the room that pause when leaders absorb a new possibility, and their perspective expands.

That is the impact a keynote can create and that is the experience I strive to deliver every single time.

Planning an event for your leadership team? 

My calendar is open for February and March 2026 for conferences, offsites, and business summits.

Last week, a senior leader from a large public-sector #organisation shared something during one of our weekly conversations.

He looked sapped, but the kind that hides behind a smile.

He said, “Sagar… I wish I didn’t have to pretend I’m okay all the time.” 

He wasn’t talking about work pressure, instead it was about the pressure to pretend fine.

He continued, “Some days I feel heavy inside like I dont wish to go to office, however the moment I enter office, I switch on that ‘I’m fine’ face as my team expect stability from me. So even when I’m breaking on the inside, I smile like nothing’s wrong.”

I asked him, When do you feel most tired?

His reply was very soft, “When I have to hold my emotions and my responsibilities at the same time.”

He took time eventually to share, “I’m scared that if I allow myself to feel even for a second… everything inside me will spill out.”

That line carried years of silence.

I congratulated him as told him that this is where #awareness begins, pretending to be fine, leads to chronic stress within. Strength doesn’t come from hiding your truth. It comes from acknowledging it.

So many leaders don’t struggle with work. They struggle with the mask they are forced to wear.

When the heart wants one thing and the mind is forced to choose another leading to conflict, hence the mind gets tired long before the body does.

This is why I created The Productive Mindset to help you work with #alignment, not pressure.

If this feels close to your story, lets talk where you feel safe.

Every Tuesday, I share something we all feel at work but rarely say out loud.
 I call it, "Unspoken."

You start with energy.
You learn.
You grow.
Then suddenly, the path ends.

No new role.
No new challenge.
Just the same work in a different quarter.

Meetings still happen.
Targets still come.
But meaning slowly fades.

Not frustration.
Not laziness.
Just a quiet thought: “Where do I go from here?”


This is the part no one ever says out loud.


A recent McKinsey study shows that 41% of employees leave not because of pay, but because they see no clear growth path.
When direction fades, #motivation follows and #productivity quietly declines.

#theproductivemindset

Some days it’s not the workload that drains you it’s the way your #attention keeps getting pulled in ten tiny directions.

You start one task, dip into another, reply to a message, switch a tab, join a call, check a notification and by evening, it feels like your mind has been running a marathon without moving an inch.

This week’s Wise Owl Wednesday unpacks why “doing everything at once” feels #productive… yet leaves you scattered, forgetful, and strangely tired.

If your day ever felt like you were shifting lanes more than making #progress, this one will feel very familiar.

Open article: The Myth of Multitasking by Sagar Amlani • 2 min read

This is how Fear blocks your basic human thinking.

Empathy was missing in the chat as the manager was driven by Fear.

The client will not wait, WHY?

There are beautiful ways in which this can be handled 

First: Inform the client, I am sure a one-line  message to a client will result into getting the meeting postponed.

Second : The Manager can step up take up the quick download from his team, take up the ownership as a leader and complete the call and give his team member the space and time he needs.

That is being accountable with empathy.

I 💯 support the team member and he has all the rights to be with his family.

That is how The Productive Mindset works.

This chat went viral for a reason.
It shows exactly where corporate culture breaks.

A young employee informed his boss about a death in the family.
The response was simple.
“Attend the client meeting. It’s important.”

This isn’t just a communication issue.
It’s a leadership issue.

I’ve spent years training managers across industries, and one thing is clear:

Employees don’t leave organisations first.
They leave the people who refuse to treat them like humans.

You cannot demand loyalty and ignore basic empathy.
You cannot preach culture and punish people for having a life outside work.
You cannot expect high performance in an environment where people feel replaceable.

What impressed me in this conversation was the employee’s courage to speak up.
Setting boundaries is not disrespect.
It’s clarity.
And clarity is healthier than silent resentment.

As leaders, we need to ask ourselves:

Would we speak to our best friend this way?
Would we expect ourselves to perform in grief?
Would we want our children to work under this manager?

If the answer is no, then something needs to change.

Real leadership is not tested during targets and deadlines.
It’s tested during humanity.

A supportive culture doesn’t reduce productivity.
It strengthens it.

If you’re building teams, lead with empathy and accountability together.
That’s where people thrive.
That’s where organisations grow.

What’s your take on this?

Some evenings, it’s not the workload that surprises you, it’s how fast the hours disappear without you noticing.

You sit down “just for a bit,” and suddenly the room is darker, the calls are missed, and the people waiting for you… kept waiting.

This week’s Wise Owl Wednesday dives into that strange kind of focus the one that feels magical in the moment, but heavy when you look up and realize what slipped past you.

If you’ve ever lost track of #time and wished you hadn’t, this one will hit home.

Open article: The Flow State: Where Time Disappears by Sagar Amlani • 2 min read

Sometimes the shift you need isn’t in your situation…
 It’s in your #perspective.

Two people can look at the same moment 
one sees pressure,
the other sees possibility.

One sees a problem,
the other sees a path.

That’s the power of a #ProductiveMindset.
 It doesn’t change what you look at 
 it changes how you look at it.

When your lens becomes clearer,
 your choices become wiser,
 your energy becomes calmer,
 and your actions become intentional.

Because #growth never begins with doing.
It begins with seeing differently.

Standing on this stage at the Realtors Annual Conference, I was reminded of something powerful: every strong real estate relationship is built first on inner alignment.

The Realtor.
The Builder.
The Buyer.
The Market.

Each thread pulls in a different direction yet the realtor who stays centred becomes the true anchor.

That’s why my keynote focused on 
The Power of AIM — Awareness, Investment, Motivation 

and how it shapes a realtor’s journey toward becoming The Trusted Realtor.

✨ Awareness elevates presence as realtors understand themselves, their energy, and the experience they create for clients.
✨ Investment builds reliability in #learning, in relationships, in professionalism, and in the promises they make.
✨ #Motivation fuels momentum the kind that keeps opportunities flowing and 
clients returning.

And just like in real estate, #communication isn’t only verbal.
Body language carries your intent long before your words do.

Open arms communicate partnership.
Grounded posture conveys confidence.
Engaged movement builds connection.
Eye contact builds trust.

A keynote allows me to use all of this presence, movement, voice, message to create a space where professionals pause, reflect, and expand.

In that moment, transformation begins. For every realtor in the room, the message was simple:  When AIM aligns your mind, your market begins to trust you.

My calendar is open for February and March 2026 for conferences, offsites, and business summits.
