EWE Consulting Engineers:
Unexampled Engineering Solutions
B ar for Plant Engineering is set very high. It stands in the need of wide ranging knowledge and experience
in process, machinery, codes, control systems and project management. It depends on the clients
considerations and approach to plan and design, and at last it comes to construction.
To release the burden of the client when they move on to set up a new project, upgrade the systems or decide to do a
process optimisation, EWE Consulting Engineers Pvt. Ltd. comes into action, determined to work in unison with
the client. EWE Consulting provides enthusiastic support in order to bring the project to a successful and logical
conclusion. Stepping in early at time of conceptualization and working hand in hand till the handing over to the
client, has been the forte of the company.
Having a dedicated talent pool with core engineering skills in key industry segments makes EWEs service line a
completely integrated service model. Being an expert in handling complex projects, EWE Consulting is a master,
knowing very well the art of collaboration with downstream service providers and parties for project delivery,
which helps them to provide cost effective and optimal solutions.
When it comes to be the best in the market, EWE has a policy of theory backed by practical experience. It competes
with companies bigger than itself and prides itself in terms of Speed of Delivery, Optimization, Cost, Robust
System Design and Seamless Integration with present plants, which is a vital feature of Browneld projects. They
have a reputed clientele in their kitty which includes rms like JK Group, Wood Group, BTS, Hitachi, Sun Pharma,
Dalmia Bharat, ACME to name a few.
Founded on the premise of Customer Relationship & Human made. During the early phases of its formation,
getting the right people on board was critical and tough, which mades the company struggle untill 2014, but without
letting up its morale, EWE Consulting Engineers continually valued timelines, respect for peers, constant learning
and doing things right the rst time.
Though the process of evolution was slow, especially when you are driven by policies and values, EWE prides itself
on its system and policies, and getting its team a right work life balance along with customer relation as being its
prime focus.
Consulting Services at Par
Founded in 2008, EWE Consulting Engineers have grown steadily into new
arenas starting from just Water Management. They operate through their

its kind in the country trying to offer the soft and the Hard part of the technology with its
applications and engineering softwares which it is developing in the current phase along with
mobile engineering apps.
In this world, the only constant thing is Change and this drives the Design, Engineering and Consulting rms to
constantly reinvent themselves. They need to better their Engineering deliverables, knowledge of national and
international codes & standards. Constant learning and a constant challenge to prove that Indian Consulting rms are if
not better, at Par with the Western counterpart drives EWE to better their performance each time, adds Vikrum.
At one front, EWE competes with rms on the soft part of Engineering while on the other hand, with the hard part of
Engineering along with other disciplines which have different approaches. It is time for consolidation for the company and
gear up to reach new heights.
While describing the change Vikrum denotes that, with the onboarding of the young and Energetic team of Lijo Jacob,
Sonal Tiwari and Nandni Joshi, EWE saw the consolidation in phase one. Lijo Jacob took the task of Customer
Relationship and IT, while Sonal Tiwari worked hard to see Human resources and relationship works at EWE. Nandni
looks after the Water & EHSS section.
The second phase saw the onboarding of Satadip Ghatak and NK Bhardwaj. Satadip looks after Operations in East while
NK Bhardwaj is focused on the Middle East. It is only because of the dexterous team of EWE Consulting Engineers that

The Criss-Crossing of
Artificial
Intelligence
&
Consulting
T he diligent invention and innovation by research teams in companies around the world have
helped to keep-up with the pace of technological expansion in computer processing power for
several decades. This led to the ability of technology companies to put more computing
power than the whole Apollo space program into the bags of more than a billion people worldwide.
Everything around us including music, books and even movies have taken a digital physiognomy.
There is a considerable amount of threat to both people and their enterprises due to these increasingly
intelligent digital technologies and unpredictable customer expectations.
The last few decades have been an amazing time for consultancies with full of revenue and
opportunities provided by these technological advancements. Clients were desperate for solutions to
help them match these changing times. This has led to the growth of management consulting in size
and scale, expanding multiple technologies and even marketing specialties. The increase in the
divergence of the large international consultancies into other specialisms is the rst step to what
fallouts in an inevitable shrinkage forced upon the industry.
The same forces that are causing a feeling of disequilibrium for the rms that consultancies serve are
also causing the same challenges, trepidation and uneasiness for the consulting rms. One of all the
major game-changers of the consulting industry is the inception of Articial Intelligence.
Mechanical muscles made human labor less in demand, so are mechanical minds making human brain
less in demand. You might misinterpret this as an economic revolution which is more appropriately a

robotic evolution. When you think of automation, you think of giant, efcient and precise but really dumb robots
blind to the world doing their own work. They were a scary kind of automation, but they were cost effective in
narrow situations. These are the old kind of robots (just mechanical muscles), and the real threat is by the new
kinds with Articial Intelligence.
Chatbots, roboadvisors, and other implementations of articial intelligence have taken over peoples
imaginations and led to the practical implementations of articial intelligence. People are becoming increasingly
comfortable with articial intelligence.
But what does the consulting industry has to do with articial intelligence?
In the short run, maybe consultants dont have as much to fear from articial intelligence as compared to the
workers in transportation, retail, or manufacturing. But, in the wider bandwidth of things, over time innovative
technology vendors will inexorably build upon openly available articial intelligence frameworks made publicly
accessible by companies like Microsoft and Google (which are looking for an increase in the sale of cloud
services) to automate some of the tasks that lately cast undergraduate analysts or Indians do now for the large
consulting rms.
Today, we comprehend our business and our interactions with our customers well enough, what was once a
mystery, and then we try to identify patterns inside it which then eventually allows us to create algorithms and
procedures that can be captured in Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) and then ultimately in code. This
process is similar to the heuristic technique. The power of articial intelligence is the ability to move the role of
machine to the left in The Knowledge Funnel, far away from pure manual coding by a human, to the computer
programs that write themselves and eventually to heuristic identication and algorithm creation at some point in
the near future. This is ultimately made possible by crowd computing, machine learning and deep learning. The
fact remains that as computer programmers and the articial minds their creation becomes more adept at
watching the work that consultants do and recognizing the patterns in their recommendations.
These are challenging times for large consultancies and small independent consultants as consultancies are
forced to respond to these attacks from three sides: Increasingly Available Intellectual Property, Internal
Consultants and Articial Intelligence. A huge part of that three-pronged attack will come from an ever-growing
multitude of automation engineers taking over the cubicles around the world to design people out of jobs. In the
same way that mechanical engineers build robots to substitute our human muscles with machine muscles,
automation engineers and computer programmers are creating inexpensive machine minds with sufcient
articial intelligence to replace our more expensive human brains. Professions like that of the automation
engineer will attract workforces from around the world in increasing numbers, but not nearly enough to
counterbalance the losses in job opportunities that these engineers are tasked with eliminating. Only time will
tell how quickly and how broadly articial intelligence (AI) threatens the core business of consultancies.
Think, if you are in the consulting industry, what is your strategy for responding to this threat?
Because, make no mistake, the threat is real. The only question is how quickly it will substantially impact the
bottom line. Sooner or later Articial Intelligence and Machine Learning for better solutions will rule. With the
contributions of these two technologies, time invested in primary research and data analytics can be substantially
reduced. Now decision making can be quicker and more ne-tuned based on the clients desires and behavior.
Behavior patterns can be well drawn out, and quick actions can be implemented.
However, for your comfort, lets make a dulcet statement; say consultants are a balance of EQ and IQ so AI and
robotics cant replace the EQ and sensibility part.

In December 2014, Ericsson had led a suit against Xiaomi in India for the alleged infringement of the 8 Standard-Essential
Patents (SEPs). The Delhi High Court granted an injunction against Xiaomi on the sale, manufacture, advertisement, and
import of Xiaomis devices. Xiaomi claimed that its latest devices in the Indian market (as of December 2014) the Mi3,
Redmi1S and Redmi Note 4G, contained Qualcomm chipsets, which implemented technologies licensed by Ericsson.
Later, Xiaomi entered into a Patent licensing agreement that covered Qualcomms 3G, 4G patents including 3-mode (LTE-
TDD, TD-SCDMA and GSM) to avoid any injunctions on its latest launched smartphones in India.

Qualcomm capitalized not only on its research but also on its inuence in standardization to become a clear central force
