Who we are
Practitioners first, consultants second.
ICG is a consulting practice built by engineers, researchers and specialists who have already built, deployed and operated real solutions in their fields.
We direct that experience at India's public programmes, from policy design through to systems that run on the ground.
What sets us apart
Why ICG
Six Domains, One Standard
From geotechnical surveys to water and sanitation, every engagement is held to the same standard of evidence and delivery.
Elite Network
Collaborating with the brightest minds in engineering, economics, and strategy. Iron sharpens iron.
Uncapped Growth
A strictly meritocratic path to leadership. We promote based on impact and capability, not time served in a seat.
How we work
The ICG Principles
02
Designed for Adoption
We design proposals around the mandate and budget a client already holds, so they can actually be adopted.
03
Discipline Under Ambiguity
We state our assumptions explicitly and quantify how conclusions shift if those assumptions prove wrong.
04
Execution, Not Only Advice
Our recommendations are grounded in what our own teams can deliver, not only in what we advise.
05
Accountable to the Evidence
Every recommendation we publish is one we are prepared to defend under direct examination.
06
A Practice Built on Doing
Our team, including our interns, develops judgement through real analysis that clients act upon, not simulated exercises.
