HarishKumar, Executive Director
In 2009, Harish Kumar, a graduate of PSG College of Technology and a Mechanical Engineer by profession noticed there exists massive gap in Indian Engineering Consulting industry with huge disparity to match the quality of International Consultancies. Indian consultancies were focussing much on deliverables and lacked qualities to perform value Engineering, optimized asset utilization, multi-criteriaanalys is, innovation and technology optimization to create values. The gap caught attention of Harish Kumar to missionize Ficus, which strongly believes and strives to infuse above qualities inprojects. His insight is predominantly gained from his work tenure with various global consultancies such as Aurecon and RHDHV. “At Aurecon, I was exposed to fact, every project has its own challenges and critical demands that are newer, leading to create values. Here,consultancies believe value addition is in-built in the services and executes projects as executed in past. Thevision is reluctant to recognize the need of innovation and value addition. Recognizing value creation as the need of the hour to bridge the existing gap, we established Ficus” speaks Harish Kumar, Executive Director, Ficus.
