Harshita Jain: Leading by Example

“ I don’t find anything challenging because I do everything with full conviction and passion, and it’s my rigorous determination and perseverance that leads me to success every time.”

India has now even more strongly embraced the idea of women entering the field of civil engineering as it ramps up its agenda for meeting the demands of this burgeoning sector. There are many women engineers, bright sparks who have brightened up the path for those budding newbies who have the same calling.

Harshita Jain, serving as Director at the Jaipur-based Consulting Engineers Group Ltd, has cleaved an inspirational path in the civil engineering industry. Under her steerage the firm has reached new heights and demonstrated vividly how she has been empowered by her initiative, intelligence, and innovative spirit to bring this about. Backed by a solid work ethic and dedication to success, Harshita is fiercely resilient against any form of challenges that have dared to be a hurdle in her journey forward. As she firmly points out: “ I don’t find anything challenging because I do everything with full conviction and passion, and it’s my rigorous determination and perseverance that leads me to success every time.”

Through Harshita’s growing years all that dining table and drawing room chatter at home was a lot about the construction of highways, bridges and roads and what not, which fascinated and intrigued her no end. What motivated her to follow the civil engineering career route was the fact that her father, mother and sister had all been engaged with the civil engineering sector. On returning home as a graduate in civil engineering from the University of Bath, UK, she honed her learnings and skills by directly joining the CEG which is a family-owned enterprise.
