With a booming economy and rapidly rising electricity demand, India’s quest to power its growth while reducing its carbon footprint is a complex challenge.

Reflecting on the national goal, Shishir says, “This monumental shift requires a strategic energy mix where renewables, sustainable infrastructure, and crucially, nuclear power, must converge. When you consider this high-stakes context, you realize that engineering expertise becomes the critical enabler of progress.”

While renewable sources like solar and wind are growing fast, their reliance on the weather means they can’t provide power 24/7. This intermittent nature makes nuclear power a perfect fit; a stable, always on, low-carbon power source.

The Indian government has set an ambitious target to reach 100GW of nuclear capacity by 2047, underscoring strategic importance of nuclear. As one of the world’s leading nuclear engineering companies with nearly 60 years of expertise in complex, highly-regulated nuclear projects globally, Assystem is strategically positioned at the heart of this national effort.

In a step towards ensuring that nuclear energy can reliably anchor the grid alongside renewables, Assystem has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with NTPC Limited. This strengthens our collaboration to support the nation’s ambitious 2047 goal and safe operation of nuclear power plants across the country. It is a powerful testament to our promise to power India’s development with clean, reliable, and low-carbon electricity.

For Assystem, sustainability is not an option but a foundational design principle. This philosophy guides over 1,500 engineers across India. They design every system, from advanced smart grids and nuclear energy projects to critical urban infrastructure, with an unwavering focus on long-term efficiency, optimizing resources, and ensuring the minimal possible impact on the environment. This commitment ensures that the infrastructure we help build today will remain robust and clean for future generations.

“Every calculation we validate, every system we design, is a building block for India’s sustainable tomorrow,” Shishir states. ” Our engineers aren’t just solving technical problems; they are actively architecting a more secure, resilient, and energy-independent nation. With Assystem at the heart of this endeavor, our team is working on projects that directly shape the country’s energy destiny.”

If you are an engineer driven by challenges, eager to apply your expertise to next-generation nuclear, massive clean integration, we invite you to become a Future Switcher.

“For us learning isn’t a box to tick. Rather it is the engine that propels Assystem forward. When it comes to engineering and technology, the skills needed today might not be enough tomorrow. Hence, investing in our people is fundamental to delivering real value for our clients and staying ahead of the curve.” – explains Nidhi.

So, how does Assystem make learning an intrinsic part of the Switcher experience? Nidhi describes a multi-faceted approach:

Tight Alignment: At Assystem, the training programs are developed after taking into consideration constant inputs from our project leads and business units. Whether it is ensuring faster delivery, higher quality or whether we’re entering a new market, it is critical for us that the programs focus at solving real business problems.

Multi-Faceted Approach: From reverse mentoring to knowledge-sharing sessions led by peers, challenging project assignments, cross-functional collaboration, and even curated digital content, we ensure that learning at Assystem happens in multiple ways.

Your Path, Your Pace: We understand that one size doesn’t fit all. A junior engineer needs different skills than a seasoned project manager. Hence, we work with individuals and their managers to identify strengths, aspirations, and gaps, and create tailored learning programs to maximize their potential and strengthen their career within the company.

The proof, as they say, is in the results.

“From witnessing someone who joined in one role successfully ‘switching’ into a leadership position, or getting positive feedback from clients about the expertise and adaptability of our teams, the tangible results are visible.” – Nidhi shares.

For Nidhi and Assystem, embedding learning into the culture is a core business strategy. It’s about empowering every Switcher to reach their potential.

Join us, and let’s together engineer a better future.

At Assystem, collaboration isn’t just part of our culture – it’s becoming a key part of our business strategy. We’ve always worked closely with clients to deliver engineering and design solutions, but now we’re stepping up that partnership by offering inter-disciplinary services.

This shift reflects a clear intent: we want value addition for our clients, not just through design excellence, but by helping them work smarter and manage better. One way we’re doing this is by adding inbuilt digital services alongside our core engineering offerings.

A recent example of this approach can be seen in the Yadgir Water Supply project, a project undertaken as part of the Jal Jeevan Mission. The original scope of work was focused solely on detailed design. But our team saw an opportunity to make things easier for the client. We included a Digital Monitoring Tool, called SitEXP to help with day-to-day project tracking. The tool not only made it simpler for the client to stay updated, it reduced paperwork, and improved how they managed resources. The client didn’t ask for it, but they quickly saw the impact.

Reflecting on the new strategy, Sushma adds, “This kind of proactive collaboration is now shaping how we operate. By combining disciplines we’re creating solutions that fit the full picture, not just one part of it. With this approach, the client gets more than they expected. And we build relationships that go beyond just delivering a project.”

At Assystem India, we’re not just working on projects, we’re ensuring that everyone wins.

Join us, and let’s shape the future – together.

I have been with Assystem for the past three years, and I’ve always been a cheerful and confident employee who loved coming to work. My journey here has been marked by growth, learning, and collaboration with supportive colleagues.

In September 2023, my life took an unexpected turn when I was diagnosed with cancer. It was devastating news that changed everything in an instant. Suddenly, my goals shifted from professional and personal ambitions to focusing entirely on overcoming this life-threatening illness.

The treatment process was incredibly challenging. I was in the hospital 2-3 times a week for tests and chemotherapy sessions. Over time, I became bedridden, battling both physical pain and emotional exhaustion. There were moments when I felt the disease was overpowering me, and maintaining control seemed impossible.

The support I received from my colleagues and leaders at Assystem made all the difference. My team provided the flexibility, encouragement, and understanding I needed to focus on my health. Knowing that I had their unwavering support gave me the strength to balance my recovery with my professional responsibilities. It was a true testament to the caring and inclusive culture at Assystem.

To anyone battling a life-threatening illness, I want to say: never lose hope. Surround yourself with supportive people, and focus on taking one step at a time. Remember, every small victory counts, and resilience can help you overcome even the toughest challenges.

After eleven months of intense treatment, I’m proud to say I’ve beaten cancer. I’ve returned to work full-time, stronger and more determined than ever. This experience has given me a renewed sense of energy and a deeper appreciation for the incredible support system I’ve had throughout this journey.

Munmun’s story is a testament to the strength of the human spirit and the importance of a supportive workplace. At Assystem, we’re proud to stand by our employees during their most difficult times, empowering them to achieve their goals – no matter the odds.
