Winning Against Several Storms
The company's evolution since its inception in 1989 has been impressive. However, they have reached this level against several challenges. “Our clients have always trusted us. However, delivering projects has been a challenge with employees moving to other organizations once they have gained sufficient learnings here. Recruiting new staff and training them up to a required skill set is a big challenge. Staff productivity is another one. One more issue is harassment from software companies in the name of license compliance and threatening to the level of blackmailing, even being a 100% license compliant organisation” the team openly admits.
The passion for creation and challenges is what drives the organization. Nothing less than civil engineering and structural design would have satisfied its founders. “I was inspired to pursue a career in civil engineering and structural design by my lifelong love for creation and my passion for playing with materials from an early age. Throughout my childhood, I was fascinated by the challenge of constructing structures from the ground up and I knew that nothing less than a career in engineering would satisfy me. Moreover, steel is a fantastic material, and new sections and high-strength steel products provide opportunities that cannot be ignored.”
Services, Projects, and Plans.
The company is open to ideas and fully supports the development of engineering skills. The management team encourages participation in seminars, training workshops, refresher courses and funds them for staff. We also fund professional membership of 5 Indian organisation for each design engineer. Skeleton Consultants has worked on various projects to date, ranging from industrial to monumental projects. The organization is willing to take up any challenging, innovative, satisfying, and remunerative projects, including concrete, steel, aluminum, bamboo, or any other material.

These projects are a testament to the company's commitment to quality design and drawing, and never compromising on code provisions and good design practices.
The immediate goals of the company include reaching 100 employees, a 7.5 crore turnover, and developing new areas such as PMC, Precast design/detailing, and design with isolators and dampers. The organization's culture of meticulous working, applying basic principles, and learning from experience is what sets it apart from other companies in the field. The company gains its customers' trust through its excellent track record and client satisfaction.
“I believe that all structural engineering consultants should come under one umbrella to improve design practice and accept a uniform sustainable fee structure. We should always aim to deliver quality designs and drawings without compromising on code provisions and good design practices. It's important to take accountability, take care of employees and help them grow, and maintain physical fitness at personal, organizational, and employee levels. Our goal is to continue to provide innovative and efficient solutions for our clients while maintaining the highest standards of excellence in the industry,” Abhay Gupta, Director concluded.
