Technical Head. BIM Expert.
Leadership Coach.
14 years at the intersection of AEC technology, BIM implementation, and technical leadership — across India's most demanding infrastructure and building projects.
Why I do what I do
I grew up in the AEC and Autodesk ecosystem — learning every corner of BIM, PDM, and digital project delivery from the inside. I've been on the vendor side, the consultant side, and the implementation side. I've walked into projects that were already failing and projects that were set up to fail from the first meeting. After 30+ implementations across India, I know what actually goes wrong — and it's almost never the software.
The BIM problem in India is a leadership and information management problem. Teams buy software without defining what information they need. Firms implement standards without anyone to enforce them. Projects go live without a Common Data Environment that anyone understands. My BIM courses and consulting exist to change that — one project, one team, one firm at a time.
The leadership side of what I do came from watching brilliant engineers get passed over, underestimated, or stuck — not because they weren't good enough, but because nobody taught them the other half of the job. I've led technical teams, built pre-sales practices, navigated corporate politics, and made every leadership mistake there is to make. Now I teach what I wish someone had taught me at 28.
If you're an AEC engineer who wants to implement BIM properly — or a technical professional who's ready to lead — I built these courses and services specifically for where you are right now. Not for the global market. Not adapted from Western content. For the Indian AEC professional, in the Indian context.

The philosophy behind
everything I teach
I have two non-negotiable beliefs that shape everything I teach — whether it's a BIM implementation workshop or a leadership coaching session.
First: structure before software. Every BIM failure I've ever seen started with teams opening Revit before they'd defined a single information requirement. The tools are the last thing you implement, not the first. Get the framework right — EIR, BEP, CDE, naming conventions — and the software becomes obvious.
Second: context over content. Generic courses teach you what the standard says. I teach you how to apply it on an Indian project, with Indian clients, in Indian procurement conditions. The gap between global BIM theory and Indian AEC reality is enormous — and closing that gap is the only thing I'm interested in.

In their own words
We had tried to implement BIM twice before Sathish. Both times it fell apart within months. He came in, diagnosed the real problem in the first session — nobody had defined what information they needed — and had us properly structured within a week. That clarity was transformational.
I attended the ISO 19650 session expecting a dry standards lecture. I got practical, project-ready knowledge that I used the very next week on a live infrastructure project. Sathish has a rare ability to make the complex feel simple without making it feel shallow.
The leadership coaching changed how I think about my career, not just my job. I used to think being technically better was the answer to everything. Sathish showed me that at a certain level, the game completely changes — and gave me the tools to play the new game.
The EIR document Sathish drafted for us was more comprehensive and more practically useful than anything our internal team had produced. Our contractor actually said it was the clearest brief they'd ever received. That says everything.
After 30+ implementations Sathish has seen every mistake there is to make. He doesn't just teach you the standard — he teaches you what goes wrong when you try to apply it, which is the knowledge that actually matters in a live project environment.
Our CDE was a disaster — three naming conventions, no workflow states, no one knew which version was current. Sathish fixed it in a day and trained the team in another. Clean, fast, no nonsense. Exactly what we needed.
