Sankey Prasad, a pioneer in Project Management endeavored to step into the journey of entrepreneurship and establish his own enterprise at a time when the concept of Project Management was entirely new to the construction scenario in India.

People, then, were unaware about the critical role played by good management of a project to make it a success.

Prasad's vast experience that springs from his assuming key positions at leading project management and engineering firms across Middle East and South Africa spurred the visionary in him to envisage how good project management practices could morph the ever evolving business landscape in India.

The Journey

The CEO Magazine interviews Sankey Prasad, Founder Chairman & Managing Director –SYNERGY

TCM: What motivated you to establish Synergy?

Mr. Prasad:For me, the calling came after I had done the rounds of several organizations in varying capacities across India and abroad. 

With stints in Government and Private sector, covering Construction Management, Consulting Services and Real Estate Developments, it was time for me to move on to a higher goal.

And in 2002, I entered the realm of 'Project Management' in real estate as an entrepreneur and founded Synergy property Development Services; today a name to reckon in the industry and market leader in delivery of landmark assets in India and abroad.

TCM: What was your mission at the outset?

Mr. Prasad:While setting up Synergy, Project Management was less heard in this part of the world.

People were unaware of this concept which streamlined construction activity, from conceptual stage to delivery; which through its efficient systems brought down costs and time-over-runs; a concept which has become a national necessity. It took a lot of courage to embark on this journey. 

My vision of positioning Synergy as a differentiator by bringing in value at every stage of the project delivery be it design management, procurement and construction management through our unique technical audit process and value engineering has paid off to make Synergy the leading Project Management and Engineering Services Company in India.

TCM: What is unique about your business?

Mr. Prasad:With in-house design capability, we can get involved in the projects from a very early stage to add value to the project and help in Design Reviews. This complements our PMC services.

With our vision to "Deliver inspiring spaces" driven with the mission of "Innovate to excel", we stand in a very strong place for future growth momentum.

The Innovate 2 Excel (i2e) Cell, continuously works to find new ways to deal with problems such as, how to optimize the cost, how to optimize the schedule of a construction, mechanization in the construction industry, making the company well prepared for latest innovation and technology in the market.

TCM: If you had one piece of advice to someone just starting out, what would it be?

Mr. Prasad:There is no set path to success and there are many ways to get there. But when you ride success, it is very important not to get complacent.

I also believe that with success comes the responsibility and challenge of staying successful. You need to be vigilant and embrace constant change and innovation to help you take the growth story as a positive graph.
