Project Management

 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.

 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.

 In this chapter-based blog, we dive deep into the real essence of project success—the team. Learn how team building, trust, and timely payments to vendors and PMCs shape the foundation of iconic projects and brands. Introduction What if the reason your project is failing... is you ? Yes, the tools are advanced. The software is powerful. But if your team is fractured—if your vendors feel like outsiders and your PMC is just another invoice—you've already lost. 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.

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: Laying the Foundation for Project Success Project management is an art and science.
