About Siddhant
Siddhant Malik is Sr. Leader and Head of Business — Australia at Ichelon Consulting Group's Ichelon Australia practice. He leads the Australia business end-to-end: client relationships, commercial delivery, and growth for healthcare and multi-industry organisations across Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Perth, and Adelaide. His mandate is to build an Australian practice that combines Ichelon's marketing depth with the regulatory rigour Australian clients require — AHPRA-first operating standards from the first brief to the last asset.
Siddhant's operating focus is on bringing Ichelon's marketing depth to the Australian market with local AHPRA-first operating standards. That is a specific commitment. AHPRA advertising guidelines — including the current guidelines on advertising a regulated health service and the restrictions around testimonials, before-and-after imagery, and outcome claims — are integrated into the creative and content workflow for every Australia engagement, not bolted on at the review stage. Ichelon Australia clients do not ship a piece of marketing that would raise a compliance issue in an AHPRA audit; the operating model is designed to make that impossible.
His experience spans business development, client management, commercial delivery, Australian healthcare marketing, and multi-industry marketing. He has led client-facing teams across professional-services engagements and brings that discipline to the Ichelon Australia book: named account leads, structured escalation paths, quarterly business reviews, and the operating cadences that keep multi-workstream engagements moving without drift.
At Ichelon, Siddhant's job is to make the Australian client experience feel like working with a serious local advisory firm — with the substantive difference that the delivery pod runs out of India at India-cost economics, coordinating on AEST/AEDT/AWST hours. He owns the daily bridge between the India delivery team and Australian client stakeholders; he coordinates AHPRA compliance sign-off with medical-marketing counsel where required; and he leads the internal reviews that ensure creative, content, and campaign work meet Australian regulatory and cultural standards before anything ships.
He is based at Ichelon Australia's Greater Western Sydney office (Merrylands, NSW) and works with clients across Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Perth, Adelaide, Parramatta, Blacktown, Craigieburn, Rowville, and the Gold Coast — plus emerging engagements in regional Australia.

Working with Siddhant
Every Australian engagement Ichelon takes on begins with a scoping conversation that Siddhant personally runs. It is a working session — a candid look at the business, its current growth economics, what is being called strategy but is actually inertia, and what an honest first 90 days would look like. If Ichelon is not the right partner for the business at the stage it is in, Siddhant will say so directly. Australian clients tell us that is the moment they decided to sign.
The Australia operating model is built around three commitments: AHPRA-compliant creative and content by design (not by afterthought), named-account ownership (so every client has one accountable senior leader), and India-cost delivery at Australia-standard governance (the delivery pod runs out of India, but scoping, quality, and commercial responsibility sit with Siddhant in Sydney). Weekly working sessions, monthly performance reviews, and quarterly business reviews keep the cadence predictable.
Retainers are custom-scoped per engagement. Pricing starts from Rs 20,000/month equivalent (approx USD 250 / AUD 370) at the entry tier and expands with scope. There are no packaged tiers on the Australia side — the scoping call determines what fits the practice, its stage, and its regulatory context.
