A.K. BALASUBRAMANI
Senior Engineer (Planning)
I am A.K. Balasubramani – Senior Engineer (Planning) at Eka Infra and I’ve worked here since August 2018.
I want to share my experience of working at Eka Infra and talk about what it’s like there.
It seems like only yesterday that I joined this organization. However, it has been four years and during my time here I have learned a lot from my team members and senior management.
During this time, I have been part of many projects taken up by Eka Infra – including the one with Development Works at Gopalpur Port, Odisha. The feedback from Development Works after the completion of the project has been nothing but positive.
They said: “Eka Infra has completed an assignment with putting their good efforts, maintain best quality standard practice, through Project Management Consultancy and also provided their best services (PMS) to complete the project within the stipulated time.” This project was a challenge for Eka Infra, but the company took on the project and completed it successfully.
Eka Infra has established itself as a strong brand in the competitive market, offering an engaging work environment that helps us develop our skills and maintain high-quality management practices. Eka Infra believes that learning and developing new skills is key to its success as a company, and so conducts many training programs related to Construction Management, Quality and HSE.
The leadership team of Eka Infra has a long-term vision of where the company is going, and how it will maintain its standards for quality. The company is staffed with qualified experts in all their departments, who follow the company’s rules, regulations and standards of quality.
Eka Infra has always been known for its high-quality work, but it’s also noteworthy to mention that the company cares about its employees. When COVID-19 hit and the company was forced to cut salaries by a certain percentage, they agreed to reimburse that cut within a short period of time—without any notification to the employees. This is unheard of in the market! I have never seen any other company do this. It’s an example of how Eka Infra values its employees and cares about them as people.
I am proud to be a part of this organization—Eka Infra Consultants Private Limited.
Thank you.
AMALA BENNICHAN
Design Engineer
As a fresh graduate, I was nervous and anxious when I joined the Eka Team in October 2020. My experience working here has been great. I get to work with experienced professionals and even communicate directly with senior engineers, who are always ready to help.
Throughout my time at Eka Infra, I was always able to access help and guidance whenever it was necessary. I believe this is one of the most valuable assets a company can offer its employees. I got to accompany senior engineers on site visits, which was a great way for me to learn and gain experience.
Eka Infra is committed to training its employees so they can grow professionally. Here, there are no restrictions—every employee is encouraged to explore and learn new things.
As we celebrate the fourth anniversary of Eka Infra this year, I am honored to be part of such a wonderful team.

RAJU MUNDHE
Senior Technician (Draftsman)
I am pleased to have worked with Eka Infra since its beginning, and now we are a four-year-old organization. We started this company with just a few employees. Today, we have grown to more than 15 staff members.
I have known our MD, Mr. Sajith Sreedharan, for more than 14 years and he is as enthusiastic today as when I first met him. He has built this company with dedication, hard work and a unique vision. There’s a lot that others can learn from him—about both business strategies and personal development.
The senior management at this company is approachable and supportive of new ideas, so there is no language barrier within the organization.
The company is dedicated to its employees’ professional development, providing training and resources necessary for their professional growth. Everyone is encouraged to share their knowledge and experience with colleagues regardless of rank. I would like to quote a dialog from the movie, 3 Idoits – “Sab jagah gyaan batt raha hai, jahan se jitna mann kare, le lo.”
During the last four years, Eka infra completed 45 different projects. I had the opportunity to work on many of these during this time—both domestic and overseas assignments. As a company, Eka Infra focuses on delivering high-quality assignments that are well coordinated.
The company provided support to its employees during the recent pandemic because it believes that they are primary strength of any business.
I am a proud member of team Eka Infra!
Thank you!

I have worked at Eka Infra since its inception in 2018. The company’s friendly working culture and our colleagues’ willingness to help each other out are two factors that enable us to learn a lot from one another. Working on different types of projects keeps us from getting bored, as opposed to doing the same work repeatedly.
It’s a pleasure to work with my colleagues, who are very well known and have been performing at the highest level for many years. This has resulted in strong personal relationships along with excellent working relations.
The periodic workshops, sharing of individual knowledges through group discussions, training programmes to nurture different skill levels are all good aspects that help an individual grow.
During many of the projects, I have been selected as a project manager and experienced great teamwork from our team members. They were fully dedicated to reaching their goal and flexible with varying workloads. I thank all my colleagues and team members for their support.

VINOD BHAGWAT
Assistant Resident Engineer
I am Vinod S. Bhagwat— my overall experience is 19 years and I have worked in various positions with this organization for the past 4 years. During this time, I have had the opportunity to play multiple roles, from Quality Assurance Manager to Assistant Resident Engineer. At present, I’m working as a Manager- Project Coordination. One of the perks of working here at Eka Ifra, the salaries and perks are maintained as per current industry standards.
In my work at Eka Infra, I was able to learn about project supervision and management under the guidance of experts with many years of experience. This has strengthened my knowledge in these areas. On site, the work culture is professional and safety conscious; we are required to wear protective equipment while working and periodic training programs ensure that all employees are aware of important safety issues. All employees are required to follow the model code of conduct set by the organization and statutory bodies. Eka Infra recently received ISO 14001 and ISO 45001 certifications, which demonstrate the organization’s commitment to maintaining a high standard of environmental and occupational safety.
I worked with skilled engineers and project managers in the development of Gopalpur Port, located in Odisha. Eka Infra completed this project successfully. Experts oversee and guide the daily activities at each of the company’s sites. Staff meetings are held to review site issues, address problems, and devise solutions. They also monitor the progress of work on schedule so that goals/milestones can be met. My role is to understand, resolve and oversee various site issues; conduct meetings with contractors; monitor the progress of the project by issuing quality certificates and ensuring timely implementation.
I have noticed that top management is always willing to invest time and money in helping employees become more technically competent. To achieve this, Eka Infra management has arranged for external and internal experts to conduct technical seminars. The company also encourages its employees to take on duties outside their areas of expertise and provides training as needed to help them complete the work. During the pandemic, Eka Infra adopted a proactive approach by prioritizing the well-being of its employees.
Overall, I am proud to be part of the Eka Infra Consultants team.
