Founder & Managing Director | DGEC & DG BIM Consultants | Chartered Engineer (FIE) | BIM, Datacenters & Infrastructure | Board Member – Oman Cricket & Indian Schools OmanEngineering, to me, is more than design and delivery — it is about shaping communities, enabling progress, and creating a legacy that outlasts any single project.As Founder and Managing Director of Design Group Engineering Consultants LLC (DGEC) and DG BIM Consultants, I lead a multidisciplinary consultancy delivering innovative, sustainable, and technology-driven engineering solutions across power infrastructure, civil & structural engineering, Building Information Modeling (BIM), datacenters, and water & wastewater systems.Our work spans a diverse portfolio — from industrial facilities and luxury hospitality developments to institutional complexes and critical digital infrastructure — across the Middle East and India. We focus on coordinated, outcome-driven project delivery, integrating architectural, structural, and MEP disciplines with precision, sustainability, and execution excellence.A proud COEP Civil Engineering graduate (1996 batch), my journey has been shaped by a deep commitment to technical excellence, client partnership, and purposeful leadership. I bring not just engineering expertise, but a vision-led approach that balances detail with the bigger picture.Beyond professional practice, I actively contribute to governance and community development. I serve on the Board of Directors of Oman Cricket and the Board of Directors of Indian Schools in Oman, supporting infrastructure development and long-term strategic initiatives that impact large and diverse communities.I am deeply committed to nurturing young talent, particularly in cricket and chess, believing that sport and strategic thinking together help shape resilient and capable individuals.As a Fellow of the Institution of Engineers (India), Chartered Engineer, and an active advocate of BIM, I remain engaged in advancing digital transformation in the built environment, championing data-driven and integrated approaches to project delivery.I am guided by one enduring conviction — the best engineering solutions are deeply human ones: built with integrity, designed for impact, and delivered with excellence.
