The construction & infrastructure projects in the country are witnessing an unprecedented growth not just in size but in complexity and strategies & concept building. Yet the current Project Management Consulting (PMC) industry in India lacks standardization of services and quality levels, while being posed with high competitiveness and cost pressure. Most of the construction companies and builders are turning to be more cost conscious. All that they aim is to cut-down the cost with uncompromised quality. The notion on reducing the cost would result in lower quality products still prevails in the market. To add value to the market by diminishing this thought and striking the perfect balance between the cost and quality aspects Swapniel R Chavhan established ACME in 2015.

A chemical engineer from UDCT, Swapniel worked with several multinational companies for over 15 years. Throughout the course of his career he happened to be exposed to the market of industrial and infrastructure project management. After gaining international exposure in the space, he realised the gaps prevailing in the project management scenario. He also understood that PMC is all about adding value to the project, yielding maximum benefits to the clients on safety, quality and cost. With the domain knowledge thus gained and his added general business understanding during his executive post graduate programme (PGPWE) from Indian Institute of Management (IIM Raipur), he paired with Prashant who`s Civil Engineer and post graduate from National Institute of Construction Management and Research (NIC-MAR, Pune) ventured into the niche domain and conceptualized ACME- an innovative PMC firm that caters to cost-effective yet quality-based solutions across the infrastructure industry.

The Offerings
Along with the presence of a wide variety of scope across the PMC realm, the new players witness low barriers for entry, thereby creating stiff competition for the well-established players. Therefore, there is a dearth of high-quality PMC service providers in India who can handle critical & landmark projects and there are very few service

providers who can deliver integrated, end-to-end project management services. Having said that, ACME as a game changer in the market & handles turnkey projects, wherein their service begins even before the construction plan starts. From the scratch, it helps the clients to identify the objectives of the project and takes care of everything till the end.
