Ratish Sasidharan

Independent Consultant at Projifi

Chennai, India

I've spent my career in the trenches of mega-projects — where timelines are tight, stakes are high, and failure isn't an option.

As a portfolio leader across EPC, Cement, Oil & Gas, and Heavy Engineering, I've built project organizations from the ground up, strengthened governance where it was lacking, and coached teams to thrive under pressure.

What drives me? Making capital work harder. Making teams perform better. Making strategy actually happen.

Here, I share lessons from the frontlines of project leadership.
