19 MARCH2023in India but abroad as well. We have worked with the Singapore government to develop a 3D model for the entire region and also for Singapore's Changi Airport. We have grown from being one team member to almost 150 members team within two years working on India's most reputed projects in various locations. For our exceptional services, we have also been awarded the Most Promising Engineering Company in India in 2000. Recently we have also received the India Icon Award for the Fastest Growing Engineering and GIS Company in Bangalore. What are your key leadership mantras that you leverage as a business leader to keep your growth constant in the market?It has been a challenge to grow in the market with multiple competitors in the same field but we have been able to overcome that and place ourselves among the well-established names in the region through dedication and a lot of passion for our work. Our never-give-up attitude has helped us to grow an abundance of positive thoughts and also channel the path toward a better future. As a leader, I believe in hard work, perseverance, and learning new ways or technologies to solve problems. Our exceptionally skilled research team helps us to remain in tune with trends & technologies in the market to ensure that our offerings remain relevant.How do you foresee the Indian engineering and GIS space evolving in the next few years? In India, BIM (Building Information Modelling) has a lot of scope and potential to grow with the emergence of BIM in the sector. In other words, we can say that BIM is the future of the construction industry. By using BIM, the sector can work toward better outcomes for the built environment, create technology-enabled processes and increase the understanding of a project. BIM aids construction and design teams involved in any project to communicate between themselves, clients, and the public where needed. Though BIM has not yet gained popularity in India, we have already started working toward it and soon it will yield greater opportunities in the coming years. The industry is constantly changing and various new technologies are being developed currently like AI, AR, and VR creating abundant potential in this sector.What is your take on the current state of women's representation in the Indian engineering sector? How do you think we can bring more women on board, especially in leadership roles?Engineering is widely regarded as a male-dominated field. When it comes to choosing a stream such as civil, mechanical, or electrical engineering, women often hear things like `this field is not for you.' The skewed gender inequality in the sector is still insufficient to dissuade women from pursuing engineering careers. All girls who want to pursue a career in civil engineering should not be discouraged. If one has the aptitude, nothing can stop them from attaining their goal. I strongly believe, the envisioning of a career and shaping of ambitions begins at a very small age for children. If a girl picturizes herself as an engineer, she should be as encouraged as she would be in any other role. We must let her know that engineering is open as a career for girls and they can grow up to design, create and build world-changing solutions.
