Quality failures are often a leadership problem.

Why?

Why iQspeaks exists?

The Problem

Most organisations fix quality problems by hiring more testers, buying new tools, or rewriting their processes. Results improve — briefly. Then the same problems return. That’s because the root cause is rarely the testing. It’s the absence of strategic leadership above the testing function.

The Answer

iQspeaks was founded to address that gap. We provide senior QA leadership, managed testing capability and regression intelligence to technology organisations — without the cost and commitment of a permanent executive hire. Every engagement is led by someone who has done this work at the highest level, in the most demanding environments in the world.

Foundation

Grounded in 24 years of operational leadership

Transitioning beyond theoretical consultancy to proven execution.

IQspeaks was founded by Sanyam Kaushik, a QA leader who spent 24 years inside some of the world’s most complex technology environments — HSBC, Deutsche Bank, UBS and BBC iPlayer. Not consulting from the outside. Leading from the inside. Everything iQspeaks offers is built on what actually works at that level.

The Pattern

I started my career as a software engineer and spent the next 24 years leading QA at some of the most demanding organisations in the world — HSBC, Deutsche Bank, UBS, BBC iPlayer. Across every one of them, I kept seeing the same thing: quality wasn’t failing because teams weren’t trying. It was failing because nobody had designed the system properly. The people, the process and the tooling were all operating in isolation.

What I did about it

So I learned to fix it. I built QA functions from scratch, inherited broken ones and turned them around, managed teams of over a hundred people, ran programmes under the most stringent regulatory scrutiny in financial services. The work was complex and the stakes were high — defect leakage in a regulatory reporting system isn’t just embarrassing, it’s a compliance failure. That environment sharpens your thinking fast.

Who I work with now

I founded iQspeaks because that level of QA leadership shouldn’t be reserved for tier-one banks. Growing technology companies, scale-ups, and organisations going through cloud migrations or major transformation programmes need exactly the same thing — senior strategic oversight, not just more testers. iQspeaks is how I make that available, on terms that work for organisations of every size.

Delivery

How iQspeaks delivers

IQspeaks is deliberately small. Not because we’re early — because the work we do requires senior judgement on every engagement, not a junior team managed from a distance. That is precisely the model iQspeaks was founded to replace.

Senior Associate Network

For larger engagements, IQspeaks draws on a carefully selected group of senior QA practitioners — each with backgrounds in financial services, regulated environments, data engineering and enterprise transformation.
Every person we bring to a client engagement has operated at senior level. These are the people with whom we have built trust factor working over the years.

India delivery capability

IQspeaks operates across two entities: IQspeaks Limited in London and IQspeaks Software Services Pvt. Ltd. in India.
This gives clients access to UK senior leadership and India delivery capability within a single engagement — one point of accountability, scalable execution.
