: The Indian market is 120 billion
dollars of investment every year and Black & Veatch has strengths in energy, oil and
gas, water, and telecom. I think all these markets are accessible to Black & Veatch because
we have worked on many projects of similar nature worldwide and so as we go forward trying
to develop local talent and deliver world class solution, all this market will be accessible
to Black & Veatch. The economic growth is driving India's need
for energy consumption, and around 90 thousand megawatt of power generation capacity is envisaged
to be set up in India and India being the execution office for this region would create
ample opportunities to have a foothold here.
Because of expansion in service industry, there is movement of people from rural areas
to urban areas and this has led to expansion of cities and there is good demand of water.
At the same time, there is a huge focus on efficient farming and cultivation and that's
the reason we have water supply natural projects. As the number one company in telecom the past
4 years, and we can see good scope to capture the business in India. The main focus areas
are like the smart grid development and the second one is the green cell development,
and others like the carrier consolidation. It leads to more scope to the analysis of
the towers and the structures in the telecom business.
Working in India, it has its own complexities
and interesting situations. I think the business in India is unique and you work with a country
which speaks diverse languages and diverse culture and delivering these projects with
local talent is going to be very exciting. Black & Veatch intends to invest in professionals
in India to groom them for leadership positions. India Leadership intensive is a very interesting
program. As we grow in this country to deliver local solutions of world class, I think we
must have leadership trained and able to manage the business from India. It has been a great
success; I think that's the best way we can deliver the projects here in India.
Black & Veatch gives me opportunities to work
across various geographies from Singapore to Australia, USA, UK, Latin America, and
the best thing which I learned is best practices across all these countries and I can apply
practices from one country to other country. At the same time, I'm able to learn a lot
of cultural variations as well.
Working on projects globally gives me the opportunity to work on international codes
and standards, different site conditions, interactions with international clients. Also,
Black & Veatch is known for its high standard of quality and safety.
Black & Veatch has very good local talent
and they have very good global knowledge, which will help us to work in the local projects
with the very good quality and the cost effective projects which will lead us to the client
satisfaction.
Black & Veatch has got really good technical talent pool across the globe. By bringing
in local talent as well as local leaders, we can bring the practical aspect to our growth
strategy and that will really help us build a world of difference in India and that will
help India to grow.
