Highlighting their growing influence in sustainability, workplace design, and innovation, he explains why civil engineers are now central to India’s growth story and the future of modern workplaces. Civil engineering has long been seen as the backbone of physical infrastructure. Roads, bridges, buildings, and dams have historically defined the profession. But in today’s dynamic business environment, civil engineers are playing a far greater role than just constructing structures. They are becoming catalysts of business transformation, shaping workplaces, influencing sustainability practices, driving innovation, and enabling organizations to thrive in a competitive marketplace. As Managing Director of Brawn Globus, a company dedicated to delivering world-class interior fit-out solutions, I have had the privilege of working closely with civil engineers and witnessing this remarkable shift. What was once a discipline purely defined by technical execution has evolved into one that blends engineering with strategy, sustainability, and design thinking.
