India is on a trajectory of growth. Indian federal government as well as state governments are not only facilitators of economic growth but also the largest investors and consumer of products and services. It is imperative that businesses aspiring for growth look at opportunities to work with governments.
Augmenting infrastructure in every aspect, be it roads, ports or information technology, is a key element of nation building. At the heart of this development is the need for better levels of efficiencies in delivery as well as the need to benchmark products and services against global standards. This has necessitated large investments as well as sector specific domain expertise of globally accepted standards.
PPP projects have been the outcome of this thought process. In this backdrop, the role of the private sector has become important not only for investment but also for delivery of efficiencies in project implementation that are comparable to global standards.
Undoubtedly PPP projects offer great opportunities for growth for the private sector. But many private investors and companies have shied away from these, as they are perceived as being difficult and complex due to intrinsic nature of the project (high value, complex risk reward, many stakeholders etc).
Clear Maze helps clients clear the maze of complexities that typify PPP projects as “in other words, PPP specialists”. We offer a complete package of services ranging from business development to performance of a PPP contract. Any business entity that envisages growth through participating in the government business opportunities would find our offerings extremely supportive.
