Mukesh Garg, Managing Director – Ramboll India & Senior Director – Technology Operations, Ramboll TECH
Organisations that put their people first – nurturing talent, fostering diversity, empowering future leaders gain a clear and sustainable advantage. At Ramboll, this belief is deeply embedded in our purpose-driven approach. As a foundation-owned company, we are not driven by short-term profits but by long-term impact – for society, clients, and our people.
We continue to focus on building a workplace where trust, mutual respect, and ability to speak up are part of our daily culture. By aligning our people practices with our values and sustainability commitments, we have built a strong & inclusive environment that not only attracts bright minds but also helps them thrive, grow and lead.
Our people-first philosophy begins with cultivating a trusted, empowering workplace culture. Innovation follows when employees speak up, share ideas, and challenge the status quo. Through consistent internal communication, feedback loop, and participative leadership styles, we foster psychological safety—making space for creativity, collaboration, and continuous improvement. Our hybrid and flexible working policies further strengthen this trust. Whether it’s remote work, flexible hours, or location-based collaboration models, we ensure our people have autonomy over how they work while being connected to a wider network colleague.
Diversity, Equality, and Inclusion at the Core
At Ramboll, DEI is woven into the fabric of our organisational strategy. DEI, alongside safety and wellbeing, cuts across every action plan, business decision, and policy we implement. We believe that diverse teams drive better outcomes – for clients, communities, and the environment. That’s why we work continuously to create opportunities for under-represented voices, provide inclusive leadership training, and establish feedback mechanisms to assess and improve DEI progress.
Our women’s network, employee resource groups, and employee works councils ensure representation, peer support, and advocacy at every level. These platforms offer safe spaces for dialogue, career support, and personal development—helping us build a workplace where everyone feels heard and valued.
Supporting Young Talent
The future of the organisation lies in the talent we nurture today. From internship opportunities to graduate programs to mentoring and leadership development, we create a structured pathway for early career professionals to explore, learn, and grow. We ensure that bright minds are not just recruited but are given platforms to challenge themselves and solve complex problems. Our people are encouraged to co-create solutions, lead projects, and contribute to state-of-the-art innovations for our clients.
At Ramboll, we identify and nurture “deep divers” and subject matter experts (SMEs) who can bring unparalleled value to our work. These individuals are supported through certification programs, advanced learning platforms, global secondment opportunities, and mentoring by internal and external experts. Global secondments and cross-border collaborations allow our talent to gain diverse perspectives, understand different markets, and build international leadership capabilities. These assignments are not only development opportunities for individuals but also foster stronger integration and cohesion across the organisation.
Our leadership forums are structured platforms for current and future leaders to exchange ideas, learn from each other, develop strategic thinking and help strengthen leadership readiness and responsiveness. Every people-related process at Ramboll – be it talent acquisition, performance reviews, compensation discussions, surveys, check-ins or succession planning – is approached with one central belief: people are not resources; they are the heartbeat of our organisation.
In nurturing young talent and building diverse leadership, Ramboll is not just preparing for the future—we are actually shaping it. Our people-first culture, development frameworks, and inclusive mindset help us unlock the full potential of every individual. In doing so, we build not only stronger teams, but a more resilient, equitable, and sustainable organisation.
As we continue this journey, our commitment remains clear: to grow leaders who lead with purpose, deliver with impact, and inspire with integrity.
