    Build for the Future
    BCG’s research reveals six key success factors and the steps companies need to take today.

BCG’s Suresh Subudhi highlights three challenges facing India’s infrastructure development—infrastructure financing, the failure of public-private partnerships, and a heavy reliance on infrastructure creation over a mix of creation and asset optimization. Investments in infrastructure are a key enabler for both economic and social growth, but infrastructure creation is also a slow process, he cautions. New technologies that accelerate the preparation of new infrastructure projects will unleash value in India and reduce the financing deficit at a faster pace.

Suresh Subudhi is the global leader for the Travel, Cities & Infrastructure practice at Boston Consulting Group. He advises both public and private sector clients on infrastructure, real estate, urban development, tourism, travel, and logistics. With over 20 years of experience, Suresh works with senior leaders on complex projects and to transform organizations with a future-fit purpose. He has served more than 50 CEOs and boards in over 17 countries on their most important agendas.

At BCG, Suresh leads a global team of specialists that supports clients all around the world on infrastructure upgrades and energy transition, including on strategic master planning, large project management, public-private-partnerships, customer experience transformation, digitization, and de-carbonization.

He also co-leads BCG’s Global Center for the Future of Cities and Center for Mobility Innovation with the mission to improve the livability and sustainability of cities. He writes actively for leading daily publications on this topic. Suresh has brought his expertise to several multilateral and bilateral development organizations and the World Economic Forum to help shape the broader industry landscape.Previously, Suresh was part of BCG's Public Sector and Industrial Goods practice leadership teams and also the people leadership team.

Prior to joining BCG, Suresh was working in Austin, Texas in a leading tech startup.
