In these testing times, the relevance of the consulting engineering profession cannot be overstated. Engineering today is no longer confined to technical calculations and drawings-it is about systems thinking, ethical responsibility, resilience planning, and a deep commitment to the greater good.

Engineers are no longer working behind the scenes-we are at the forefront of shaping sustainable solutions, enabling climate adaptation, and supporting resilient development. Whether designing infrastructure to withstand environmental extremes, developing smart energy systems, or advising on policy frameworks, our work has a direct and lasting impact on the well-being of societies.

As members of CEAI, we share a collective responsibility to not only respond to the challenges of today, but to anticipate and build for the needs of tomorrow. The world is looking to us for leadership-not just technical, but ethical and visionary.

In line with this, I am pleased to inform you that CEAI is preparing an extensive calendar of trainings, webinars, and seminars for the second half of the year. These programs are being carefully curated to address the most urgent and relevant issues facing our profession-from climate-resilient infrastructure and digital transformation to contract management, ethics, and international standards.

These sessions are designed to serve all segments of our membership-from young professionals seeking exposure to cutting-edge knowledge, to senior consultants looking to share insights and mentor the next generation. The full schedule is being continuously updated and will be made available through our website and member communications.

This is not just about professional development-it is about building a resilient and future-ready engineering community in India. I strongly encourage each one of you to participate actively, contribute ideas, and take ownership of this shared journey.

CEAI is also deepening its engagement with international bodies and expanding its advocacy on key policy matters to ensure that the voice of consulting engineers is heard where it matters most.

Let us continue to work together-across disciplines, sectors, and borders-to uphold the values of integrity, excellence, and service. Our role has never been more critical, and our impact never more needed. As always, I urge all members-especially our younger professionals-to actively participate in CEAI’s initiatives. Your voice, ideas, and energy are what will shape the future of our industry.          

Thank you for your continued support and commitment to excellence and wishing you all a productive and meaningful month ahead.

Warm Regards,
Prashant Kapila
