Why Indian Companies Keep Appointing Ill-Equipped Project Managers—and End Up Paying the Price

Image
  Indian companies often ask a painful question after a project goes wrong: “What went wrong?” More often than not, the answer is simple: the wrong person was given the responsibility of project management. Recently, I had an interaction with one such case. A senior executive—holding the title of Vice President —was responsible for submitting an execution program to the project consultant. On paper, the designation looked impressive. On ground, the decisions reflected a complete lack of project understanding. And this is not an isolated case. I have seen many poorly equipped engineers climb to senior project roles , not because of competence, but because of time served —what I call experience without learning . 🚧 THE CONTRACTUAL REALITY (WHICH WAS ALREADY FLAWED) The contract milestones were defined as: 25% financial progress in 10 months 50% financial progress in 14 months 75% financial progress in 17 months 90% financial progress in 20 months 100% ...

AI Is Overrated: Why Returning to Basics Will Make You Irreplaceable

Image
 The other day, I was reading an EY blog explaining that tech companies are shifting toward diamond-shaped hiring , where fresh hiring is consolidating. And again, the same fear surfaced everywhere: “AI is going to take our jobs.” But why are we so frightened of AI? Today, the large majority of people — in India and outside — only use AI for the most basic tasks: writing emails, drafting letters, summarizing notes. Even in major consulting environments, there have been cases where teams relied heavily on AI tools to produce content that was later flagged by other AI tools. It simply shows one thing: People are overusing AI without understanding it. I sometimes wonder what the top institutes like IITs are teaching now — maybe prompt writing for Copilot or ChatGPT? And even the certificates we collect in India are becoming inflated in value , very similar to the hype around foreign consultancies that charge massive fees for writing fancy AI-themed reports.

The EPC Paradox: Why Top Companies Hire Fresh Talent but Keep Their Bottom 10%

Image
 Working in a top EPC (Engineering, Procurement & Construction) company opens your eyes to a harsh truth: The biggest bottleneck to progress is not competition, not the client, not the project — it’s the company’s own internal 10% redundant workforce. Let me explain.

Why Progress Is More Than a Deadline: The Cost of Short-Sighted Management in Projects

Image
  Introduction: In project management, progress isn’t just about finishing on time — it’s about consistent direction, supervision, and motivation . Yet, in many organizations, decisions are made by managers sitting far from the ground reality. When projects miss a milestone, instead of doubling down on support, they withdraw oversight , assuming “it’s already delayed, what’s the use.” But that’s exactly when the corporate team’s presence matters the most.

Why Every Project Needs a Project Champion

Image
  In today’s fast-paced business environment, projects are the lifeline of growth and transformation. Yet, many companies do not even know the term “Project Champion.” In most organizations, projects are often managed by executives who are not well-versed with project management concepts. This lack of understanding creates inefficiencies, delays, and wasted resources. At EBEESCORP , we have seen firsthand how the presence of a strong Project Champion can make the difference between a failed project and one that delivers measurable success. What is a Project Champion? A Project Champion is not just another manager. They are the driving force behind a project — someone who: Ensures the project vision is clear. Motivates the team and removes obstacles. Bridges the gap between executives and the project team. Protects the project’s interests at every stage. Think of the Project Champion as a guardian angel for your project — ensuring the right resources, direction, ...

Now imagine a project where deadlines are met, costs are controlled, and quality is never compromised. Look behind the scenes. What’s common in all successful projects? A rock-solid TEAM. But not just your internal staff. Real success comes when you start treating your PMC, vendors, consultants, and engineers as an extension of your core team.

As an organization, we have come a long way. 13 years back, we were only a training organization, now we are also known as consultancy | construction & placement firms. Our firms had always wished for good placements for our students. But, to achieve that we required projects both in the sector of consultancy & construction.
