On a global scale, the engineering services market is expected to grow to $1167.21 billion by 2025, growing at a CAGR of 5.6 percent. Despite recent developments, there is a gap both from the end of the design provider as well as the design consumer. It lays in the accuracy and professionalism delivered on the grounds of design quality and management. Think Engineering Design steps in to make a difference and fill this gap.

Sachin Dharwatkar, Founder, Think Engineering Design states, “We aspire to modernize the delivery and transform ourselves to a knowledge-based organic company and constantly strive to meet client expectations. We want client organizations to recognize us as expert design producers through our combined capabilities and by providing integrated solutions. To achieve this overarching goal, we have enabled our delivery teams with a digital platform and follow a process-driven approach, which is an aggregate of working guidelines, templates, industry best practices, and workflows for every stage in design coordination”.

Thinking Differently
Think Engineering Design emphasizes the quality of its professionals and the consistent design quality they can produce in conformity to technical management systems embedded in the delivery mechanism.

The company manages the customer expectations through baseline exemplar output templates for design standards, regulations followed, authorizing software, and the extent of information expected. This ensures that robust standardized procedures are followed, achieving minimum or no ambiguity while delivering the design services. In addition, the deliverables go through an interim stage-gate review at every stage of the delivery, to ensure they are checked and reviewed to a level consistent with the design intent.

Sachin mentions, “Forged by our profound understanding of the regional markets in which we operate, our professionals keep their expertise relevant by effectively dealing with the evolving and disruptive trends in their technical subject expertise. With customers seeking high engagement through a single point of contact and expecting a design provider to stitch all services together, we have woven our delivery process through an empowered horizontal organizational structure, which provides greater accountability and ownership of design and brings the integrated design services into closer alignment with customer expectations”.

Building agile network clusters of subject matter experts, we enhance relevant domain and regional capabilities, give access to composite experience & bridge possible gaps in different design elements through a variety of knowledge, and bring in complementary skills in problem-solving by coordinated efforts – all with a purpose of providing sustainable solutions.

Projections for the Future
Think Engineering Design believes that the evolution of industrial IoT through ‘smart’ interventions, continuous real-time data analytics, and other innovative methods to deliver engineering solutions is the latest trend in the engineering services market. Speaking about the future goals of the company, Sachin concludes, “We want to consider the broader world picture incorporating today’s digital realities of Industry 4.0, in which new cost and quality sensitive approaches to managing design through digitization have evolved more rapidly. While we embark to augment our portfolio with digital and connected technology assets, our near-term aim is to build a global design service center by leveraging the global talent pool of experts. As the engineering design services industry is changing from volume-based to value-based, we aim to become one of the agents of change in the design services delivery methodology”.
