Ramboll announced its continued commitment to the Indian market and its plan to invest bigger in the region. The company has bolstered its business plan for India in the view of exciting business opportunities alongside the country's 100 Smart Cities project.
Ramboll Group CEO, Jens-Peter Saul recently visited India where he met with the Minister of Urban Development M Venkaiah Naidu and Denmark's Ambassador to India, Freddy Svane, key clients, select partners and employees. The meeting with the Embassy and Ministry officials was focused on potential areas of collaboration where Denmark and Ramboll could contribute to the country's 100 Smart Cities Project.
Ramboll has played a central role in development of some truly world-class cities such as Copenhagen, Stockholm and Oslo and has worked on high profile liveable cities projects globally, such as the Chicago Lakeside and Copenhagen's Nordhavn. Specific areas of partnership such as urban development, master planning, solid waste management, sanitation and water management were discussed at the meeting.
"Ramboll has acquired a prestigious client base in India over the past decade. We have firmed up our investment plans and stay committed to our clients and community to achieve sustainable solutions that impact the end-users and society as a whole," said Pawan Maini, Managing Director, Ramboll India.
