Why Indian EdTech & Project Consultancies Are Under Siege—And What We Must Do About It

What if we told you that India's rise in education and infrastructure isn't just being challenged by market forces, but systematically sabotaged by the very consultancies we admire?

📌 Introduction: The Fire Behind the Curtain

News Break: Foreign-Linked Lawsuit Targets India’s Rising Education Star—Coincidence or Conspiracy?

What does it really mean?

Is this just a legal wrangle? Or does this signal something much deeper—a pattern?

A pattern of elite global consulting giants entering India’s rising education and infrastructure ecosystem under the guise of “partnership,” only to later take control, dominate headlines, and often influence outcomes that don’t always favor Indian interests.

Byju's - A Case Study or A Warning Sign?

Byju’s, once India’s poster child of EdTech, now stands tangled in lawsuits, valuation dips, and reputational crises. Was it only mismanagement?

Or was it classic takeover playbook: partner → advise → influence → discredit → replace.

Why does an Indian education company get globally shamed while dozens of Western education firms quietly get bailed out and protected?

The Inconvenient Truth

• Most top consulting firms (Big 4) are powered by Indian brains—project managers, engineers, auditors.

• Most consultancy zones and work sites? Right here in India.

• Yet these firms bill in dollars, dominate the premium projects, and retain decision-making control from London, New York, or Dubai.

So why are we still giving them preference over Indian firms for India’s flagship projects?

Project Management in India — A Monopolized Game?

Projects like Central Vista, Ayodhya Master Plan, and several others have continued the age-old habit of awarding premium work to foreign-backed consultancies.

EBEESCORP, a company that has successfully handled airports, metros, and IITs, proposed for Central Vista—but was rejected. Not because of competency. But because of legacy favoritism.

Is this fair? Or is this a form of internal colonialism in decision-making?

Project management in India by Indian firms

India is developing its own rockets, chips, drones, and fighter jets.
Why can’t we develop our own Top 4 Consultancies in Project Management & Strategy?

We don’t need hand-holding anymore.

We need:

• Trust in Indian firms

• Autonomy in execution

• Equal opportunity in consultancy bids

• Time-bound transition plans to empower indigenous companies

The EBEES Formula – Cutting Through Bias

Alternatives to Big 4 consulting firms in India

EBEESCORP has always taken the longer, harder, ethical road:

• Zero vested interest

• Full autonomy in project execution

• Track record with CPWD, NHPC, Swadeshi Infrastructure, and more

• And above all, a belief that India deserves its own global brands in consulting

🧠 Closing Argument:

The war isn't against the Big 4.

It’s a war against the idea that Indians can’t lead Indian transformation.
The next time you hear a consultancy name being whispered in a boardroom, ask this:

"Can they do what EBEES has already done? And why not give the torch to someone building India for India?"
