Rajesh Kalra — CEO
I help capital projects deliver what they promise. With 22+ years in Oil & Gas, and energy megaprojects, I specialize in project controls, cost engineering, planning, cost/schedule risk analysis (CSRA) and portfolio assurance. Across global assignments, including Shell and operator/JV environments, I have led FID readiness, P50 development, contingency strategy, schedule realism checks and governance reviews that inform robust investment decisions. My strength lies in not just analyzing data, but in shaping decision quality, aligning stakeholders and enabling transparent escalation well before problems escalate. I hold PMP, ChPP, and Six Sigma Black Belt certifications — but what defines me is turning uncertainty into informed decisions and helping teams act early with confidence.
