The interaction
An exchange of perspectives.
Dr. Karan Garg in an interaction with Shri Anuj Kumar Goyal.
About the participant
Experience in context.
His construction-sector experience spans project initiation, planning, execution and completion. HSCL’s public leadership profile identifies him as its Chief Executive Officer, within the wider NBCC group.
Bharat Pulse Policy Lens
Public construction: make every project interface accountable.
Independent Bharat Pulse analysis, not a quotation or a position attributed to the participant.
How should an employer, project manager and contractor divide responsibility without leaving gaps?
Policy in focus
The Department of Expenditure publishes distinct procurement manuals for works and consultancy services, making the choice and scope of the procurement route a concrete preparation question.
Bharat Pulse assessment
A project management consultant is not automatically responsible for every decision on a works contract. Design approvals, quantity certification, variation authority and completion acceptance should be mapped to the actual appointment and contract. Ambiguity at these interfaces can create both delivery delays and financial exposure.
Bharat Pulse’s assessment is that governance should be designed around decisions and evidence, not only an organisation chart. A practical responsibility matrix, document-control process and escalation route can help prevent issues from circulating without resolution. For a public-construction assignment, the applicable tender and delegated authority remain decisive. This lens examines institutional delivery capability without implying that HSCL, NBCC or the participant agreed a particular project arrangement with TLGS.
