Hands-on experience

Advice shaped by real projects

My consultancy is built on work I have designed, costed, bought and supervised myself — not only on textbooks. That means specifications that contractors can actually build, and budgets that hold up on site.

The same projects feed my teaching, so explanations stay practical and easy to follow.

About

A professor who builds

I am an electrical engineer and faculty member in the Electrical Engineering Department at Government Engineering College Palanpur, affiliated with Gujarat Technological University.

Outside the classroom I work on real projects — rooftop and ground-mount solar plants, hospital and commercial electrical installations, and the purchasing and site management that bring them to life. @HarshNC is where that experience is offered to clients and learners.

Good engineering is invisible: safe, efficient and on budget. My job is to make sure the numbers behind it are right.

FAQ

Common questions

Do you also supply equipment or do the installation?

No. The consultancy is independent: design, procurement support, project management, reviews and training. Not selling equipment keeps the advice on your side.

Can I hire you for just one stage?

Yes. Many clients start with one piece — a design review, a quote comparison or a lecture — and extend the scope later if it helps.

How are fees decided?

After the first call I send a written scope with a fixed fee for defined deliverables, or a per-visit / per-day rate for site and training work. No surprises.

Which areas do you cover?

Mostly Gujarat, with remote design, review and procurement work anywhere in India. Site visits are planned as the project needs.

What should I send for a quick opinion?

Whatever you have: site location, electricity bills or load list, drawings, quotes or tender documents. A short description is enough to start.

How do I book an expert lecture?

Use the form below with the topic, audience, date and format (online or on-campus). Institutional and industry requests are both welcome.

Have a project, a quote to check, or a class to train?

The first conversation is free.
