About Krishnan

About Me
I'm a consultant specialising in infrastructure projects, with 35+ years' experience helping government agencies and businesses solve real-world challenges. I combine technical expertise with strong writing and communication skills translating complex engineering and sustainability concepts for executives, stakeholders, and communities.

I've delivered $260M+ in contracts with above industry win rates, managing the full project lifecycle from feasibility and bid strategy through execution and handover.

My technical writing capabilities honed through crafting winning proposals and stakeholder communications have been central to this success.

I work by listening first, then tailoring my approach to your needs: planning, bidding, troubleshooting, or building ESG strategies.

With environmental engineering expertise and deep knowledge of procurement, contracts, and stakeholder management, I bridge technical and commercial worlds.

I'm known for unblocking stalled projects—like reviving Qatar's hazardous waste incinerator—and for turning technical complexity into clear, compelling narratives.

My recent certifications reinforce this positioning:
ESG Reporting & Corporate Sustainability • GHG Accounting • Google Analytics • HubSpot Content Marketing

I'm most valuable when you need to structure major projects, craft winning bids, resolve performance issues, build credible ESG strategies, or communicate infrastructure and sustainability initiatives with impact and clarity.

I work flexibly—project-based, retainer, or per deliverable—remotely, globally, and without long-term obligation. Based in Bangalore, multilingual, ready to start immediately.
