Our Story

Most problems in global business are not technical — they are human.

Linklocal exists because of a simple realization: the biggest challenges in business transformation aren't about technology. They're about understanding — understanding how work actually happens, understanding what people need, understanding how to bridge different cultures and expectations.

This insight didn't come from business school or consulting frameworks. It came from years of working in the messy reality of global business — being the person in the middle, translating between clients and suppliers, between European expectations and Indian execution, between what companies say they want and what they actually need.

The Founder's Journey

About the Founder

A mechanical engineer by training, the path to Linklocal was anything but linear. It began with technical problem-solving, evolved through years of international business, and crystallized into a clear understanding: most business problems aren't technical at all — they're human.

The journey included 5 years in Turkey's dynamic manufacturing sector, 3+ years experiencing Sweden's systematic approach to work, and countless hours bridging the gap between European client expectations and global partner capabilities.

Today, that experience translates into helping businesses navigate their own transformations with patience, clarity, and cultural intelligence.

The Timeline

Early Years

Mechanical Engineering

The foundation was technical — a mechanical engineering degree that taught systematic thinking, problem-solving, and attention to detail. Skills that would prove valuable in unexpected ways.

2015-2020

Five Years in Turkey

Working in Turkey's manufacturing and trade sector. Learning to navigate different business cultures. Discovering that the hardest part of international business isn't the work itself — it's the communication, the expectations, the unspoken assumptions that vary from culture to culture.

Serving as a bridge between European clients and Turkish suppliers. Translating not just languages, but ways of working, standards of quality, and approaches to problems.

I learned that most international business failures aren't about capability—they're about communication and expectation alignment. A supplier might be excellent, but if they don't understand the client's unstated quality standards, the relationship fails.
2020-2023

Three Years in Sweden

Moving to Sweden brought new perspectives on work culture, quality standards, and systems thinking. Learning from Scandinavian approaches to design, process, and human-centered work.

Continuing to work across borders — now with even deeper appreciation for the nuances of cross-cultural business and the importance of clear, honest communication.

I saw how patient, systematic process thinking creates sustainable results that quick fixes never achieve. The Swedish approach to "lagom" — not too much, not too little, just right — applied perfectly to business transformation.
2018-2024

Entrepreneurial Ventures

Running various businesses: ecommerce platforms, international trade operations, supply chain coordination, fabrication and design projects, process improvement initiatives, digital solutions.

Each venture taught something valuable. About what works and what doesn't. About the gap between theory and practice. About the importance of understanding before building.

Real learning happens in the messy reality of running a business, not in frameworks or case studies. Every failure taught more than any success, and every customer problem revealed gaps in my own thinking.
2024-Present

Linklocal

All these experiences — technical training, cross-cultural work, entrepreneurial ventures, process improvement, systems design — came together into a clear vision.

Businesses need partners who understand both technology and people. Who can bridge cultures and expectations. Who take the time to understand before proposing solutions. Who value quality and craft over speed and scale.

Linklocal was founded to be that partner.

Why This Background Matters

We Understand Cultural Bridges

Having worked extensively in Turkey, Sweden, and with partners across Europe and India, we understand the subtle differences in work culture, communication styles, and business expectations. We don't just connect you with overseas talent — we bridge the cultural and communication gaps that often derail international collaborations.

We Know What Works in Practice

Our approach isn't based on consulting frameworks or business school theories. It's based on years of actually running businesses, solving real problems, and learning from both successes and failures. We recommend what we know works, not what sounds impressive in a presentation.

We've Been in Your Position

We've experienced the frustration of systems that don't work. The challenge of scaling operations. The difficulty of finding reliable partners. The pressure to modernize while keeping the business running. We're not consultants observing from the outside — we're practitioners who have faced these same challenges.

We Value the Right Things

Our diverse background — from engineering to entrepreneurship, from Turkey to Sweden — has taught us what truly matters: quality work, honest communication, respect for people, and building things that last. These aren't just values we claim — they're principles shaped by years of real-world experience.

What We Believe

Technology should serve people, not the other way around.

We believe in building systems that make work better for the people doing it. We believe in patient, thoughtful transformation over quick fixes. We believe in honest conversation over polished sales pitches.

We believe that businesses should be built on principles of fairness, respect, and integrity. That profit is important, but not at the expense of people's wellbeing or dignity. That growth is good, but not when it sacrifices quality or values.

We believe that the best work happens when clients and consultants work together as partners — when there's mutual respect, honest communication, and shared commitment to doing things properly.

Most fundamentally, we believe that business can be a force for good in the world. That work can be meaningful. That we can create value while treating people with kindness and building systems that serve humanity.

Where We're Going

We're not trying to build the biggest consulting firm. We're building a company that does excellent work for clients we respect, treats partners fairly, and contributes to a better world.

We'll grow thoughtfully, taking on projects that align with our values and working with clients who appreciate our approach. We'll continue to invest in long-term relationships with exceptional partners in India and elsewhere.

We'll keep learning, evolving, and improving our craft. But we'll never sacrifice quality for speed, or values for profit.

That's the kind of company we're building. If it resonates with you, we'd love to hear from you.
